I’m going to bet that a fair number of visitors to this site don’t have health insurance. Writers move around a lot; they cobble together careers out of part-time work. An hour ago, President Obama signed a health care bill that, while not perfect, points us in a better direction. Plantar fasciitis be damned: today I’m walking around with an extra skip in my step.
In that spirit, a poem:
Watching reruns of The O.C.
with Nancy Pelosi!Drinking blueberry mead
with Harry Reid!An electrical storm?
Health care reform!An outbreak at the dorm?
Health care reform!Final-hour thriller!
Shouts of “baby-killer”!Stupak in the hizzy!
Champagne getting fizzy!Sucker-punched at Purim?
Kicked by Rick Santorum?Health care reforum!
Health care reforum!
Thanks to everyone who helped to turn this bill into law. It was the hard and right thing to do.
