“It’s something to hear when Sarah screams, ‘Don’t you know who I am!’ And it was particularly wonderful when someone in the crowd screamed back, ‘This isn’t some damned Hillbilly reality show!'”
Back in May, Dylan Scott first brought you the story about a free clinic in Tacoma, Washington, that was closing because Obamacare had succeeded in providing all of the clinic’s would-be patients with health care coverage. It was one of the those small but telling examples of the ways the heath care reform law was working.

When I read the latest news about professional football and chronic brain injuries, I’m reminded of a conversation I had with my father, probably going on forty years ago. This was in the late 1970s, when I was very young. My father was a scientist but a marine botanist – so not expertise that had any immediate relevance to these questions. In any case, he didn’t suggest that what he told me was based on anything more than experience, watching.
In case you’re just tuning in, Team Palin has responded to reports about their epic stretch Hummer brawl. Yeah, we brawled, they say. But it was a righteous brawl.
This is something I’ve been wondering about a lot. Does Scotland, an independent Scotland, think it will ever be allowed into the EU?
