Today's Second Health Care Moment: A Complete Oddity

by: DocJess

Tue Feb 09, 2010 at 16:18:45 PM EST


It's like an alien land here. If you live in the northeast, or any place else that gets a fair amount of snow, you will be familiar with the words "flashing" "ice dam" "cascading ice gutters" and you'll be familiar with what my local world, and the past few days, involve....DC is closed for the week, including all of Congress. Here in the Philadelphia region we received the second largest snowfall on record, and we are expecting an additional 12 to 18 inches tonight. There is not a good place to put it, and not all the region is dug out from the weekend.

So having returned from a day of chipping, re-organizing snow piles, and calculating the approximate strength of the roof trusses relative to the snow stuck behind the chimney 30 feet up, I feel I've done everything I can so that my house will withstand one more blizzard onslaught. Maybe not, but I've done the best any vertically-challenged person can. 

So I sit down with my cup of great Keurig coffee and see something in my inbox I would never in my wildest dreams believed I would. The subject line read:

Republicans for Single Payer

I am not making this up. 

Tag line:

Single-Payer is a Conservative Value

Again, I am not making this up, you can view their site here.

If you look at their site, and you're familiar with Single Payer, you won't see anything new in terms of the reasons for implementation, nor the sources cited, except for the parts about Republican support. 

Gee, maybe there is a place for bipartisanship.

I'm willing but are you sure this does not go with my post "Needing a laugh for a Tuesday"?

No -- I had seen that photo on the news this morning, and came close to spitting coffee....I think these guys are actually for real.

As for the billboard? No one knows who put it up. I used to have a boss who had a countdown clock to "end of an error" - I only survived the first 6 years by watching "The West Wing" every chance I got...finally bought the DVDs....unfortunately I don't know how to use the DVD player....

MISS HIM????? The stupidity, the cupidity, the evisceration of the Constitution....

I miss him like I miss puberty.
