Franken Shuts Down Lieberman

I'm baaaaaccckkkk!

Reasons for absence:

1. Moving out of home of 11 yrs to MIL farmhouse.
2. Caught a bug...ugh.
3. Eldest son home for Christmas.
4. Christmas

Thanks for your patience. It's been an exhausting wild ride and it ain't over yet. Our lives are in boxes and I don't know where anything is but we're managing.

Had to post this because I like the concept sooo much. Wish more of the "distingushed Senators & congress persons" would either STFU or be shut down.

Health Care Reform Passes House

I am psyched to learn, this morning, the health care reform bill passed the House of Representatives last night and a lone Republican voted for it.

David Brooks on Meet the Press just reminded the panel he's on,  "Once this becomes law it will become sacred" with the voters.   At this very moment, Bob Schieffer, on Face the Nation, is interviewing Sen. Lindsey Graham who advises him that, among others, Sen. Joe Lieberman will filibuster the bill in the Senate.
We still have a long way to go before this is made law but my belief is it will continue to morph.  The NY Times has a comprehensive first take on the voting results.



I hope everyone remembers Joe Lieberman is a senator from the state with the greatest concentration of insurance companies, Connecticut.

No conflict of interest there.
