3. Good for Sister Carol Keehan

I suppose my judgmental Catholic in-laws will deem her a "seasonal Catholic" and unworthy of acceptance by the church.

Must find a way to get that on FB. :evilgrin:

11. Looks like this woman was responsible for outflanking

the Catholic bishops on HCR.

Bless her heart.

13. Am I friends with you on facebook?

:shrug: I am friends with so many DUers and sometimes I don't remember who is who. I will like to be your friend on there. I will PM you my name.

4. The little boy didn't get one?

He should get a t-shirt that says... I was at the signing and all I got was this lousy t-shirt.

[Jackeens]

5. I wondered about that too....

...maybe they should give him a t-shirt that says: "This is a big f**king deal."

:-)

[MarthaM]

10. I want one of those t-shirts!

... with that on the front and the text of Patrick Kennedy's note on the back.

6. Amazing, isn't it?

I would've liked to have seen some of these pens go to "average" Americans. Guess they're only good enough to be pimped out for a photo shoot.

8. Baucus stole the kid's pen.

The kid sure as hell deserved it more than Baucus.

16. LOL!

:rofl: :applause:

9. I think the little guy got what he wanted,

to insure that other children won't have to watch their mothers die,
cause we didn't give a fuck....

and he got hi five and the chance to be right there next to the President
as he signed what many had worked years to get through.

The little guy was most likely not waiting for a pen,
which at the end of the day, is still a pen.

[Staph]

12. I watched on CSPAN online.

During the actual signing I could hear VP Biden explaining the ceremony to Marcellus Owens -- along the lines of "He uses all of the pens, one for each letter...".

Joe is such a great Grandpa!

[BelleCarolinaPeridot]

15. Amen!!!!

Hi-five! Watching the replay with tears rolling down my face thinking about my relatives who need health care but can't afford it like I can.

[Inchworm]

7. Just the kind of news story I need

To get daughter involved.

I got her to watch the signing.. she said :wtf:

Thanks!

:hi:

[Cha]

14. Thank you, Jackeens!

Feels good writing that again, btw.:)
