As you sit in my lap
yawning
warm and snuggled
and just happy to be there;
and when you complain if I put you down
even if you are trying to destroy my only good pair of glasses while I wear them
it is definitely time for you to go to bed.

When I bring you upstairs
put on your music,
Zum gaali gaali gaali Zum gaali gaa-li
I dance you to bed.
And when you reach for bed
I smile happily.

Now please sleep through the night.
Your mother has a headache.

Dave Sirota nails it in one. Salon, may require a quick ad.

The GOP talks a lot about private competition about healthcare but never wants any government programs to jump into the competitive mix. From the article:

"In one breath, GOP Jekylls say government medical plans will be inefficient, inferior to private insurance, and thus hated by Americans. In another breath, Republican Hydes effectively admit that government programs would be so efficient, superior to private insurance, and loved by Americans that they will attract more consumers and dominate a healthcare competition."

I've noticed the GOP talks a lot about how competition is always good, except for when they say it's bad. Feh.
