Now that the health care reform nonsense is all but dead and buried, it is time to move on to other matters.  I am actually kind of relieved.  I can finally stop ranting around all pissed off at the latest sell out by Obama and the Democrats.  Oh, haven’t you heard: WE LOST.  I know the last nail has not yet been driven into our coffin, but who needs to stay up late to watch CNN’s report of the latest incident of Obama and the Democrats knuckling under to the demands of Big Pharma and Big Insurance?  Please!
