Intriguing indeed.




On the healthcare front, Robert Reich is batsh*t crazy.

Robert Reich calls for 'march on Washington' in support of public option

Here's the part that is astounding to me:

“Very few things happen in Washington that are in the public's interest when corporations have huge financial stakes in the game, as they obviously do with health care — unless the public is actively involved, engaged and organized,” Reich wrote. “We won't get a public option, or anything close to it, unless people who feel strongly about it make a racket.”

So let me get this straight - To protect the "public's interest" against the corporations' competing desire to protect their "huge financial stakes in the game", you, Mr. Right, propose that the public stand up and make a racket to protect the corporations' huge financial stakes in the game? Did I follow that correctly????
