F!@# Yeah Anthony Weiner

Representative Anthony Weiner is possibly the most Principled Progressive ever to perpetuate his platform in a postmodern population.
A short list of the man's accomplishments:
-served on the Committee on Energy and Commerce (whatever that is)
-was a roommate with Jon Stewart in college
-stood up for healthcare reform even when his party was too chicken to do so
-defended the awesome notion of a public option in america
-advocated the unpopular decision of cutting defense spending
-called out unprincipled colleagues for being "wholly owned subsidiar[ies] of industry."
-blasted hypocrites for voting against the "9/11 First Responders Act"
-stood up to Bill O'Reilly. You can't explain that.

This man is like a "Mr. Smith Goes to Washington" type character come to life. If Mr. Smith had huge swinging brass balls and was named Weiner. Honestly, I would vote for this guy fro president. Just look at this badass call for a Supreme Court Justice to excuse himself from an important case:

I'm Confused.

I realize nobody reads my blogs (lol), but on the off chance that someone starts now:
Could somebody clarify for me whether the Health Care bill that passed the House of Representatives last night is now going to be a law, or whether it still needs to pass the senate?

The way I understand it so far, and the way that CNN seems to be pushing it as, is that the core of the bill is going to be sent to President Obama soon to be made into law, and the changes to the senate version are going to the senate for a vote. So then do the changes take effect when Obama signs the bill into law or when the senate passes the bill?

If someone could clarify this for me, that'd be awesome.
