I'm convinced that the only reason our healthcare system is not the best is because our political system is so corrupted. This makes me feel pretty certain that any attempt at positive reforms is futile.</p> If a package is passed, you can bet it will be jammed full of tweaks and pet programs demanded by every single congressman on behalf of their constituents.

For example, we are only required to pay 35% of COBRA since Danny's unfortunate (ahem) "job change." There is no way in hell that we would have been able to afford the full COBRA price tag. 35%? That is doable. But won't last forever.</p> Even though this administration hasn’t gone “far enough,” it has already made a significant effort in salving the dilemma.

I have another post in the works about sahnequark and kräuterquark and a non-rennet quark recipe I am trying (and probably failing), which would be up already except the non-rennet recipe is moving slower than I expected.

As someone who has spent almost literally every day of the past year+ trying to lose weight, I’m just really psyched to finally eat some damned cheesecake. You’ll get some, assuming it doesn’t turn out crap.

At some point that evidence becomes too clear to simply ignore, and prosecution becomes inevitable. This isn't just some vague legal question about what constitutes torture or whether the legal advice given by the previous administrations lawyers can be retroactively superseded by the current administrations lawyers. If and when it becomes completely clear that they tortured INNOCENT people with the intention of gaining FALSE confessions, at that point I think a grand jury will be convened.</p> The good news is that these newly released memos add to the growing pile of hard evidence against Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld, and Wolfowitz.
