Quote of the day

Sen. Harry Reid (D-NV) on health care reform:

"This is indeed historic and I'm not afraid to say it is. But instead of joining us on the right side of history, all Republicans can come up with is, 'Slow down, stop everything, start over.' If you think you've heard these excuses before, you're right. When this country belatedly recognized the wrongs of slavery, there were those who dug in their heels and said, "Slow down, it's too early, things aren't bad enough.'"

Glad to know such sober-minded people are running the country.
