So you are flying along and your engine sputters and then the wing catches on fire..

[ddeclue]

and you put the plane into a dive to try and put out that fire..

and it doesn't work...

so you decide to jump and out you go...

then your main chute doesn't open.. so you think well there's still the backup..

but then that turns out to be hopelessly tangled...

but then you see a haystack below....

I'm starting to feel more and more like this pilot on the issue of REAL healthcare reform and a REAL public option.

Everybody keeps saying but wait... there's still X keep up your false hopes.

1. Very well described.

And you can be sure that someone is removing the haystack even now.

3. and leaving a pitchfork!

:rofl:

[triple point]

2. With my luck, I'd find that damn needle.

:silly:

4. real reform was never going to happen. it's all been a big dog and pony show.

vested interests have too much to lose.

anybody that thought otherwise was kidding themselves.
