I was perusing the Wall Street Journal this morning (now ain’t I smart?).  Somebody who actually paid for the thing left it on the counter at the Waffle House, and I felt compelled to give it a look before it got its coffee and grease on.  Anyway, the article was basically saying that the most liberal left was freaking out because they believe there is neither “health,” nor “care” nor “reform” in the current Senate goulash stewing around the halls of Congress.  I think the Senate Majority Leader thinks if he keeps faking it eventually he will me making it.

As I was sipping on my hot cup of coffee and getting cranked up on caffeine I thought to myself,  for once the most conservative right and the most liberal left can probably come to agreement on the left’s assessment of the pending legislation.  Broader coverage, lower costs, better care, portability, “If you like it you can keep it,” blah blah blah.  It ain’t in there, it’s bogus, it’s bunk.

Suffice it to say while those who lean to the right and those who lean to the left have a far different view of what health care nirvana  should be, they can both look at what’s waddling through the room and agree, it’s not a duck.

Other WSJ news?  Well retailers are being more surgical (see we can always toss in some health care lingo), with their promotional activities this holiday season in attempts to keep from trashing their margins and the stock market dropped by something like 132 points yesterday on the account of the news of a stronger (healthier) dollar globally.

Hey, if a world leader farts in Copenhagen this week will it accelerate global warming?  There certainly has been enough hot air there this week to melt the snow.   Grab your surgical masks and take lots of vitamin C.  In case you missed the 411 folks, it’s flu season, and if that doesn’t get you, something that stinks might just.
