Nerds

On Sunday night, Michael and I watched C-Span and celebrated as the House passed health care reform - what an utter thrill!

Because this is my job and I love it, I've been reading as much as I can about the implications of the reform, the analysis of its passage and the impact of the process. Two strikingly different articles struck me today, one by Bob Herbert and one by Alex Massie (found via Andrew Sullivan on The Atlantic). The Herbert piece highlights all that's wrong in American politics, while the Massie article commends the uniquely American democratic process. I highly recommend both!

(This should be a longer post, but let's be real - I can barely think about anything unrelated to this baby. So it is the best I can do!)
