and yes I will miss them too.
I've liked Joe ever since I first watched him spar with an opponent years ago. He's sharp and has quiet the Jab.
Obama, well I've liked him since day one too. Very proud of my three votes I've given him, more than any others I've cast in fact.

...made me think of 4 things:
2005. GWB looking at us out of a window on Air Force One.
2008, and having about 50 people in my house LOSING THEIR MINDS on election night. My God. The clean up the next day.
Saints winning the Super Bowl. Don't know why, but that is just as big to me/us at the time...
2012, and having about 50 people in my house LOSING THEIR MINDS on election night. Also, too, Karl Rove that night. My God. The wonderful clean up the next day.

Wait! One more! 2013. Hurricane Isaac! Mitt Romney not looking at us from a window on Air Force One.

See? You don't know the good you did tonight -

Getting the rest of the states to expand Medicaid is one.

Getting blue states to go single-payer is the other - Or at least public option.

I got my insurance card yesterday! I'm 58 and I've only had health insurance once before, in the early 80s when I worked for Chief Auto Parts. Now I can go to a regular doc, not an ER intern. It's great. It also feels good watching rw goons freak out!

"There are still no death panels! Armageddon is not on the way!"

Perfect slap in the face, gracefully delivered and unmistakable. I hope their faces are still sore from it. My sides are sore from laughing. Oh, how sweet it was!

Because I'd heard today that they hadn't counted all the new applicants in the various state exchanges? I've been out much of the day today so I haven't kept up as well. Band thing.
