Sigh.

I've edited all my vacation pictures. I've finished my trip journal. I guess I have no alternative but to resume my real life.

Omigosh, we had a scorcher yesterday and I didn't water! Better get my lazy self out back!

What I'm reading...

The text of the House's health care bill, all 1018 pages of it. At the moment, I am really really annoyed that there are no cross-references, nor links to other statutes incorporated by reference. This is not a user-friendly document. Thank you, docs.house.gov, for helping me become an informed citizen.

I am not reassured by what I've read so far. I see far-reaching powers assigned to a Commissioner, including the power to grant exemptions, and abundant opportunities for graft, bribery, and general mischief.

Or, as the poet says, Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?

Edit: and the Commissioner will head up the Health Choices Administration.

Edit II: Someone educate me. Does "with the advice and consent of the Senate" mean the Senate can hold up an appointment?
