Merry Christmas, Happy Hannukkah And So On
I hope you all are having a nice, peaceful holiday regardless of what you celebrate. My flight down from Seattle to Tucson yesterday was a complete pain in the butt–what has happened to air travel?–and I’d just like to say that US Airways stinks. But I’m enjoying the nice weather in Tucson–low 50s, sunny and two more hours of daylight a day than in Seattle this time of year. I need it.
I’ll be back to regular posting on Monday.
Oh, yes, the Senate Dems passed their health care reform bill earlier today. I don’t have much to say about it right now since the real action will come after the New Year when it has to be reconciled with the House version of the bill. That said, I’m sure you are all aware that the Senate bill is drawing heaps of criticism from both the political left and right. One writer at Firedoglake.com, about as lefty a joint as you’ll find on the ‘Net, described the whole business as “Obama’s Health Care Cult of Personality” and offered a fairly decent critique of the bill. In less than one year, the President’s most ardent supporters have turned into some of his biggest foes. Not sure if I saw that coming. I’m sure you can imagine what conservatives are saying about the bill.
Anyway, I hope the year winds down peacefully for you all.
