		<description>If I had to do shots for Ben Nelson&#039;s sins, I&#039;d get alcohol poisoning.  Good thing I haz health insurance.

I&#039;m just barely, sorta-kinda, starting to see things appear in the MSM about these unholy money connections between the anti-reformers (both parties) and the health insurance/medical-industrial lobby.  This information needs to be shouted out, plastered over every available surface in big, boldface type, until the whole country&#039;s talking about it.  Forget beer summits and MJ&#039;s crooked doctor; we all need to be talking about Mike Ross&#039;s payola.  We need to be talking about every one of those weasels taking the lobby&#039;s money and the damage they are doing in return for it.</description>

		<description>I&#039;m thinking the Articles of Confederation maybe weren&#039;t such a bad idea. That way, those of us in Sanity Land can dump all of the dumb pimps for money that make up a large portion of the representatives, that block any type of reasonable legislation. WI is a medium state with good education; I&#039;d like to try it on our own. A decent argument can be made that the Constitutional Convention did not have the authority to make the changes they did; it makes more sense than the birther arguments, at any rate.</description>

		<description>“Ross was the guest of honor at a special ‘health-care industry reception,...&quot;

One might think that it would appear to be gauche to be the guest of honor at such a function while you&#039;re supposedly debating health-care reform legislation.  
But then one would underestimate the stupidity and greed or &quot;our&quot; representatives.  Why, that would be like trying to create legislation focusing on sexual predator&#039;s while texting male Congressional pages about the size of their unit&#039;s.  Oh, yeah, I forgot, that been done...
Hypocricy knows no party.  And neither do any of the 7 deadly sins.
Here, btw, are the 7 deadly sins:  Lust&quot;, &quot;Gluttony&quot;, &quot;Greed&quot;, &quot;Sloth&quot;, &quot;Wrath&quot;, &quot;Envy&quot;, and &quot;Pride&quot;.
For a parlour game at your next party, see how many of those apply to your particular representative(s).  You have to do a shot for EACH one that applies.  Please be responsible though, and have designated driver&#039;s, or cabs waiting.  You might want to have EMS on standby with a stomach-pump, too - just in case.

Cast out the corporatist&#039;s.  From each party.</description>
