And would you believe me if I told you that one of our most important Founding Fathers, President John Adams, signed legislation providing for a health insurance mandate?

Sunday Afternoon Reading

The Party of Cruelty was written by James Howard Kunstler last week after the HCR was almost a week ago, but I just saw it yesterday. It is a long read, but a truly excellent retort to the apocalyptic fear and loathing ramped up by repubs -- not just during the process, but also afterwards. Fear and loathing that is now being expressed in physical threats and in property destruction aimed against lawmakers who voted for this. Make sure you go over there to read the entire thing:

Bring It, Spence.

Terry Spence, the disgraced and defeated former GOP Speaker, berates Gibson (unknowingly to her face) about her column exposing the GOP misappropriation of funds during their control of the GA.

Markell Is Now Giving Weekly Addresses.

By Delaware Dem March 27, 20101 Comment

What, does he think he is, the President of something? All kidding aside, I do think this is a good idea, because it is always a good thing for our government to be informing us of what they are doing in our name.
