1. anyone else feeling jerked around?

Is Reid trying to piss on our legs and tell us it's raining?

Good God Man, grow a pair of stones

4. I guess the trial balloon didn't go well

Can you say AFL-CIO???

6. It's not dead!!!!

They're going to give it one guy named Huey.

7. The discussion with Ed Rendell is pretty enlightening.

Even without a public option, regulation can be used to keep insurance companies in line.


I really want to post my thought on regulation, but I doubt anyone is interested. I see why conservatives don't like it. It is the government applying force in order to curb greed.

9. The list of people I desire to kill or maim right now is so long

It's completely unmanageable.

10. Sometimes it is hard to keep one's head. Remember, Rome is always burning.

I feel like giving up. Tonight I trashed a DCCC survey thinking it wouldn't make a difference. That was irresponsible.

Be careful how you express your thoughts. I think what you said could be used by our political counterparts against us. Do not become your enemy. They are the ones full of hate. I'm just learning to be transparent. It's the only way to grow out of this mess. Let their evil pass through you, or else it will find it's way into you.

11. Or, as my mom puts it: "You think this is new?"

"You think this is different? I remember Social Security. Same thing."

8. I am full up on bread and tired of the circuses

They should just STFU and do the job we sent them there to do. I don't need a horse race style scorekeeping.
