Revealed: millions spent by lobby firms fighting Obama health reforms

A bit duh, but has good numbers provided by the UK paper.
Chicago loses the Olympics and my wingnut coworkers CHEER!

Whut? What's even more headscratching is how the blogger had an email sent to him with the following text: Hi Eclectablog!
Read your post on the Daily Kos.
Really classy; nice combinations of four letter words. You must have been an English major at some liberal college.
Probably got all A's.
Bob
That's a winger insult? The sarcasm's kinda contradicted by the liberal college reference so as far as I can figure, Bob wound up saying: "You're smart. Haha!"
Also, it's jlundberg's birthday today! (October 3rd, because those of us in the East are in the future.)
And, estimated due date for the baby is exactly two weeks from now (Oct 17th, Deepavali/Diwali here in Singapore). Though, only 2% of babies are born on their EDD, while 80% are born within the 10 days before or after the EDD. Truth be told, I think a Diwali birthdate would be uber awesome (even if the holiday moves from year to year). I really should make a proper LJ post about recent goings-on, but I'm too busy cherishing my Last Few Weeks of Freedom.
