    1) Is that Jeanine Garofalo standing behind Paula Abdul, talking to the cops?

    2) How can Rihanna sit down in that dress?

    Catholicism is quickly becoming the religious equivalent of your super embarrassing aunt who gets drunk and says racist stuff to your friends.

    Tap shorts are a funny trend. I for one would like to put unfortunate dance recital costumes of my childhood behind me.

    Is number 1 really Carrie Underwood? For some reason she looks nothing like herself, here. Am I crazy, or is that someone else?

    If you had told me this event took place in 1999, I would have believed you. Everything on this red carpet was excruciatingly y2k.

    But...Wasserman Schultz was politicizing breast cancer. I mean, obviously the GOP is throwing this out primarily as a hurdle. But I watched that yesterday, and the point was that the council had a great deal of regulatory power over Medicare or the public option or whatever. Stephanopolis read the line in the bill, and the congresswoman said no, it's just a suggestion. She was ignoring the issue.

    I don't really know who's technically correct, but this whole affair begs the question: when the government is responsible for more health spending, it will be responsible for budgeting. Maybe that will require hard choices. Maybe in order to pay for one thing that will save or better a large group of people, a minority of others might be shorted for treatment funds. Or maybe in order to save a diminishing margin of people for one disease you would need to spend money on an expensive screening process that could be used more efficiently to save a larger group of people for something else. Health care is utilitarian in that respect.

    Under a private system, squawking over rationing won't due any good because you're nobody's boss. Public officials are (in thoery) our minions, though. The Democrats' jumpy reaction to the reports this week makes me worry that in the future lawmakers will quixotically pursue 100% treatment under the threat of interest groups. If we have to make Medicare cuts and reduce fee-for-service and the like in order for this thing to work on a cost basis, we're in deep shit.

    It's time for everyone to stand up, including myself. I'm trying to draft a letter I can send to all the members of the Senate, imploring them to consider carefully the implications of killing health care reform. I don't expect the Republicans to listen, but at least I will have had my say.

    Tall and tan and inflammatory
    This guy in Ipanema goes schmoozing
    And when he threatens, each one he threatens goes...oh no.

    but I watch him so sadly
    How can I tell him I disdain him
    Yes I would share my liberal views gladly
    But each day, he tells me he hates the gays
    and women and moderate muslim ways.

    And when he passes, I scowl - but he doesn't see
    He just doesn't see, he doesn't see me.

    "Don't ask me to make everybody live by it because they are not members of the church," Cuomo said. "If that were the operative rule, how could you get any Catholic politician in office? And would that be better for the Catholic church?"

    Exactly. The Catholic church is great at the holier-than-thou stuff, but all they ever end up doing is shooting themselves in the foot. They have a lot of nerve whining about abortion funding, while their church is having to fight off lawsuit after lawsuit because their celibate male priests can't keep their hands of young boys.

    @NefariousNewt: Remember history. Weren't many folks afraid that President JFK was going to take his orders from the Pope. Shit like this makes what was once thought of as an irrational fear as quite legit. Well, this and Judge Scallia, who probably does make all of his decisions based on Catholic doctrine.
