"So what are we going to do about it?” is the question I always ask in these books, my speeches, and blog posts. I like to rant as much as anyone, but in the end, I’m not into complaining about what’s wrong—I say let’s go make it right.

Encouraging Words

"Keep fighting for freedom and justice, beloveds, but don't forget to have fun doin' it. Lord, let your laughter ring forth. Be outrageous, ridicule the fraidy-cats, rejoice in all the oddities that freedom can produce."

--Molly Ivins, columnist and author

The simplest solution to any problem is usually the best.
--Occam’s Razor, or the principle of parsimony

"What the world really needs is more love and less paper work."-- Pearl Bailey

Health Reform: Gotta Love Rep. Bernie Sanders 

DateTuesday, June 9, 2009 at 12:15PM

Time's Karen Tumulty tweeted this clip with the comment that this is why God made C-Span. It must also be why God made Rep. Bernie Sanders (I-VT), who never ceases to be a truth-teller among politicians who...well, nuf said.

True enough I have been supporting HCAN, an adocacy group promoting President Obama's proposed dual system of both employer or privately paid and public health care plans. They believe it's the best we can do, and they might be right. I've argued with them and anyone else who will listen that until everybody is in the health care insurance pool under a single payer system, we aren't going to bring the cost of health care down significantly, nor will we end the often inhumane, patchy current system of coverage.

You've just gotta love Bernie. Watch this video and see what I mean.
