As many of you know already, history was made on Sunday with the passing of comprehensive Health Care reform, and yesterday when President Obama made that bill the law with his signature. After almost a year of working to overhaul the Health Care system, voters, volunteers, community organizers, activists and politicians brought the change that so many needed. For the 14,000 people who lose their health insurance every day, this is a huge victory. For the 32 million people who will now have health insurance, this is a massive victory. For our nation that has been fighting for Health Care Reform for nearly 100 years, this is historic.
Fear and lies have ruled the Health Care Reform day ever since it was proposed by Republican President Theodore Roosevelt. The rumor spread by opponents back then was that it was a secret plot by the German Empire to take over the United States. Fear and lies won and the measure failed. When a health care overhaul was proposed by Democratic President Harry S. Truman it was destroyed by a rumor that the “Red Army,” or the Soviet Union, would be marching across our land. Fear and lies won again. When Bill and Hillary Clinton attempted to pass a major overhaul of the health care system, it fell flat on its face due to a particularly nasty lie, the “rationing of care,” which meant that the government would have a say as to when a sick person should stop receiving care. Fear and lies won by a landslide.
It should come as no surprise then, that the opponents of our generations push for health reform tried every lie in the book. They took a page from Teddy Roosevelt & Harry Truman’s day, saying that it was a socialist/communist take over by the governmen. Next thing you know, Obama will be telling you when to sleep. They took a page from Bill & Hill’s day by conjuring up the catchy notion of “death panel” that would decide when you grandparents would die. Even comparisons of Barack Obama and Hitler were drawn in attempts to “kill the bill.” This time, thankfully, fear and lies lost.
God damn im so tilted right now, i think my PC is fucking up it cant handle hud+ 24 tables without lagging too hard to even play,i dont know why.

The One Per cent is a documentary on the growing disparity between the rich and the poor in America that's both entertaining and informative. You can find it on the web if you're interested.
So im on vacation in Florida for a week, each day consists of golf then poker with drinking all the way thru.
So far in 3 days I played 20 minutes of live poker and got bored out of my mind and quit.
PLO has been going very well. 2nd day here i played 50PLO and won 8 buyins. TOday i played more and won about 6 buyins. Then i played some 50PLO HU on one table and ran my 50 buyin stack up to 450 thru 3 opponents. I was crushing noobs haha. SO im up about 18 buyins or 900 dollars since I got here and I've earned a shit ton of VPP/FPP's.

Fairly close to trading my gf's apartment for one in Stockholm.
For the swedes (en 2:a på 47kvm i Malmö, för en 3:a på 85kvm på den bästa adressen på söder(malm) - håll tummarna!!!!!)
Today Malmö FF is playing their first league game at home, and im really really stoked. Our club is celebrating their 100th birthday this year, and I'm very optimistic.
I self excluded for a couple of days on FTP, I didn't tilt any money off (directly, atleast).
Fucking hell, this is so bad.
I really feel like thailand is killing me for some reason. The air, or the bad sleep(it sounds like a silly complaint, but my bed +pillows are very hard and I wake up throughout the night from my arm or leg falling asleep and being extremely uncomfortable, etc.), or maybe there's something else in the environment. I always have bags under my eyes and I feel tired all day nearly every day. (I can only 'pray' a fixable health problem is the root of my worse-than-ever poker performance lately, lol).
I am enjoying seeing my new friends and everything else about experiencing thailand.
I might need some Zoloft or something for a couple of months until I can get my head back together. Dunno what to do about that, or if its really needed.. or if it'll even help. I guess I will decide at the end of the month after I try to cool off and have been grinding for a couple of days again. I will do research..
I guess I will make a to-do list
1. buy soft bed cover
2. buy pillows
3...
