Listen to Greg Sargent, please.
The choice for Dems: Either you get a thousand news articles about the new law, or a thousand news articles about how hapless and ineffective you are.
Offically the Worst
In the middle of what already seemed to be the worst week ever, everything has officially gotten much bleaker. Tbogg, we are all so sorry for this loss to your family and to all of us. And many virtual hugs to the much-beloved Beckham.

Haiti
I’ve put a link in the sidebar to Doctors Without Borders, which desperately needs funds to provide health care in Haiti after the earthquake. Many other organizations also need donations. Please do what you can.

I hope they enjoy their Pyrrhic victory because they just burned the base.
The Senate, however, is clearly and irretrievably broken. For months now I’ve been telling the DSCC that I wouldn’t donate another penny until they passed a health care bill with a public option, or a decent equivalent. Looks like I’ll be giving to individual candidates only in the next election round.
