The Morning After

You know, I don't know which is worse, the daily bombardment of gossipy infotainment that blasts out at us from the majority of formerly reputable news outlets, or the overly sensationalized-hyperbole laced-sky-is-falling-reporting that has destroyed the rest of what used to be news in America.

Massachusetts chose a new Senator to replace the departed Ted Kennedy. OMG ! HE'S A REPUBLICAN!

“HEALTH CARE REFORM IS DEAD! IT'S THE END OF OBAMA! RUN FOR THE HILLS!”

On and on ad nauseum...except...today is the morning after...and we're still here...

Democrats still have an 18 vote majority in the Senate....Likewise in the House......Healthcare is still on the table and passable..

May take a little more work...but hey...not passing it is way worse than passing it..

And the Republicans still don't have a clue or a plan...except to wreck anything that will benefit Americans...that is their only plan, period.....

And what have we learned..... We have learned that..

America is still rife with people who believe in cutting off their nose to spite their face by voting against issues or people who will help them in the long run....

The corporate stranglehold to make reform go away is working well....bought and paid for congressman and scared people who are the monkey wrench thrown into the gears of progress to benefit all..

and

America with its love for the fake and cosmetically enhanced, still loves the cute white guy.....it's about the way he fills out his Speedos, not about what is inside his head or his heart...

Scott Brown! Come on Down!

How much you wanna bet he trades in that pick up truck for a Benz or something equally luxurious within six months of his swearing in.
