By PAUL KRUGMAN
Unless some legislator pulls off a last-minute double-cross, health care reform will pass the Senate this week. Count me among those who consider this an awesome achievement. It’s a seriously flawed bill, we’ll spend years if not decades fixing [...]

A message to progressives: By all means, hang Senator Joe Lieberman in effigy. Declare that you’re disappointed in and/or disgusted with President Obama. Demand a change in Senate rules that, combined with the Republican strategy of total obstructionism, are [...]
The terrorists name is al-Franken-Hesabully gufaw-gufaw, which is Arabic for “Molester of Camels and Servant of Nasty Comebacks”.

From Jim Dean:
I'll get straight to the point.
If Democrats remove the choice of a public option, they can't force Americans to buy health insurance.
Here's the deal, Senate leaders are all over Washington claiming they finally have a healthcare reform bill they can pass, as long as they [...]
