AND apparently Prop 8 in Cali was voted down. Yay!

BUT Prop 2 in Austin was voted down too. Boo.

I'm breathing a sigh of relief.

My heart is so happy and at peace.

And I must say John McCain is delivering a beautiful and eloquent speech right now.

If McCain wants to win so bad maybe he should get Bush to endorse Obama.

With 881 dancers Austin broke the world record for number of people dancing to Thriller.



I was in the back center. I practiced 6 times before the official dance. I don't ever want to dance to Thriller again. But I probably will.

From here

"A study coming out Tuesday from scholars at Columbia, Harvard, Purdue and Michigan projects that 20 million Americans who have employment-based health insurance would lose it under the McCain plan.

....
For starters, the McCain health plan would treat employer-paid health benefits as income that employees would have to pay taxes on.
....
According to the study: “The McCain plan will force millions of Americans into the weakest segment of the private insurance system — the nongroup market — where cost-sharing is high, covered services are limited and people will lose access to benefits they have now.”
...
The whole idea of the McCain plan is to get families out of employer-paid health coverage and into the health insurance marketplace, where naked competition is supposed to take care of all ills. (We’re seeing in the Bear Stearns, Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, Lehman Brothers and Merrill Lynch fiascos just how well the unfettered marketplace has been working.)
...

When younger, healthier workers start seeing additional taxes taken out of their paychecks, some (perhaps many) will opt out of the employer-based plans — either to buy cheaper insurance on their own or to go without coverage.

That will leave employers with a pool of older, less healthy workers to cover. That coverage will necessarily be more expensive, which will encourage more and more employers to give up on the idea of providing coverage at all.
...

This entire McCain health insurance transformation is right out of the right-wing Republicans’ ideological playbook: fewer regulations; let the market decide; and send unsophisticated consumers into the crucible alone.

You would think that with some of the most venerable houses on Wall Street crumbling like sand castles right before our eyes, we’d be a little wary about spreading this toxic formula even further into the health care system."


OMG.

How to Win a Fight With a Conservative is the ultimate survival guide for political arguments

My Liberal Identity:

You are a Social Justice Crusader, also known as a rights activist. You believe in equality, fairness, and preventing neo-Confederate conservative troglodytes from rolling back fifty years of civil rights gains.

It's Sunday morning and I got some sunny blueberry muffins in the oven (vegan/from scratch no doubt).  Tonights "new" episode of I Love Money is on the TV.  Coffee in my cup.  It's a good morning.
