Late Sunday brings/brought:
A disturbing (via Jezebel, sorry), call for assassination, which if tweeted by a Muslim, or female, probably would have already resulted in an arrest of some kind.
A great picture taken in Austin during SXSW, and posted at my Compulsion for your enjoyment.
And the wonderful news that Hugh Grant is supportive of Sandra Bullock during these trying times.
Late Sunday also brought health care to a crescendo — passing a behemoth full of compromises galore and benefits too little. A bill with no national health care or public option. Ugh.. I hope this turns out to be a mere stepping stone to national health care, and a much shorter piece of legislation. I hope it’s better than what came before. But hey I just got an email that says..

For the first time in our nation’s history, Congress has passed comprehensive health care reform. America waited a hundred years and fought for decades to reach this moment. Tonight, thanks to you, we are finally here.„„ and so on and so forth… blah blah blah

My jury is still out. I’m glad it passed, but I never liked kool-aid. I don’t think I’ve ever tasted it.
And how about that Cornell? Upon winning their way into the Sweet Sixteen they gave a few cursory chest thumps they just kind of stood around, and some people complained the players seemed to have had no idea how to celebrate. I say they just need a few lessons from their “almost an Ivy” brethren at Duke.
