Ever have one of those birthdays that just didn't go the way you planned?

I had one when I held an all-girl birthday bash at my house. One partygoer who came always had a tendency for the dramatic—which was annoying enough considering we were only in the second grade. This girl popped the balloons and then proceeded to tear open the gifts because she thought I was taking too long to open them (an incident that I'm clearly over today).

Why am I thinking of this? Because of course, today marks the second birthday of Obama's Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. And all health reform proponents and the Obama administration wants to do is celebrate. But the Supreme Court is that dramatic girl who's ripping open the presents and smashing birthday cake in someone's face.
