Still we rise, head heavy with ache, an anger burning behind our eyes. Actually I went to sleep at 10:30 last night and feel great. But this morning Megan and I discuss Obama poll numbers, Kristol’s health-care advice, birtherism, Dave Weigel’s dominance, Guantanamo and the Misfits.

Also: can we stop abbreviating ‘healthcare reform’ to ‘HC reform’? Because I read that abbreviation and think it means, like, establishing personal hygiene standards for certifying someone as a crusty or taking the scene back from the vegan/edgers, street by street and block by block.
