Shit just got real. 
Wow, this just happened! Like 5 minutes ago. I was sitting here listening to a Ricky Gervais podcast and my friend was all “whoa! did you see the news?”
And I was all “What news?” (What I actually said was “>??” because I wasn’t really paying attention to him) and he was all, “House must re-vote on Obama’s newly enacted health care overhaul after Senate parliamentarian finds it violated budget rules“ and then I was like, “no wai!” and he was all, “wai! hear all that gunfire? that’s the gop celebratin’ with a little lynchin’!”
And then I laughed and laughed because racism is HILARIOUS.
But seriously. This is happening.
WASHINGTON – The bill making changes in President Barack Obama’s newly enacted health care overhaul will have to go back to the House for final congressional approval, a spokesman for Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid said early Thursday.
Top Democrats had been trying to avoid the step.
Spokesman Jim Manley said Republicans consulting with the Senate parliamentarian had found “two minor provisions” that violate budget rules. The two provisions, dealing with Pell grants for low-income college students, will have to be removed from the bill.
Once those provisions are deleted and the Senate passes the measure, the House will have to approve the legislation before sending it to Obama for his signature. Manley said he was confident the House would do so with no problems.
This shit is bananas. Fox News is going to crap its collective pants. In a good way at least for them. But we’ll have to smell it. And that’s bad for us. It’s bad for America. There will be much gloating, the Democrats are going to lose their minds, and Facebook will explode in a war of “That’s what Hitler said!”
Yeah, it’s gonna be pretty awesome, news-wise.
(H/T there will be blogs!)

You do realize that this has no impact on the bill Obama just signed, right? The health care bill is the law of the land. No one is going to be crapping his or her pants. If this new one doesn’t pass — which appears highly unlikely — it means little.
yeah, i think I got a little over-excited last night. I was tracking the news as it was breaking and the AP report was a tad vague.
But still. I reckon the Fox News crowd is gonna be all. “see!!!!!???” and Mother Nature will crap her pantsuit.
(tropic thunder, anyone?)
Q is right, however, Tea Partiers will use it as a point to further their outragous views on how bad healthcare reform is.
agreed!
People who see racism in everything are racists.
People who see ostriches in everything are ostriches.
