People who say they're moving to Canada because of Obamacare. You already knew they have fully government-controlled health care and gay marriage, right? Of course you did. I am so highly amused today. Thanks Obama!

The Supreme Court upholds Obama's healthcare act. "This is an imperfect law. But what's most important is that it provides a structure under which the country can make a start not only on universal coverage -- as an ethical imperative -- but on doing away with the waste and inefficiencies created by the chronic market failure of the US health insurance system. Again, that matters. And I suspect that there's no going back."

Thinkin' before babies? "People are still expected to provide reasons not to have children, but no reasons are required to have them. It's assumed that if individuals do not have children it is because they are infertile, too selfish or have just not yet gotten around to it." Yup, that.
