Not really much of a post - more of a bit of good news.

Former Senator Bob Kerrey (D is reconsidering his decision to not run for Nebraska's open Senate seat:

Lincoln Journal-Star - Kerrey reconsidering

Sweet. This would never have hit the press if he hadn't already made up his mind.

The story immediately hit the top of the Journal-Star's comments so it is NEWS around here. Kerrey, plus news that Obama's cranking up to fight for not just one but two electoral votes in Nebraska. He won Omaha's CD-2 last time. He'll add Lincoln's CD-1 if the reports are true.

The local media is salivating over the potential $$$$$.

Even if he doesn't vote with us any more often than Ben Nelson, he'll be better than any of the Teapublican dwarfs trying to out-wingnut each other for the (R) spot on the ballot.

We may be a RED state, but the majority of folks are still mostly sane - as is Bob.

Time to reframe the health care argument

It's not how MUCH a Public Option will cost - but how LITTLE!

It is estimated the US will spend at least $2.5 Trillion on health care this year.

Health care costs are expected to rise to $4.1 Trillion a year by 2016. See this National Coalition on Health Care Report.

That's PER YEAR!. And our fainthearted Senators are all crying doom and gloom over $100 - $160 Billion per year?

More....

Then why isn't there ever a sale on treating broken arms?

The Republicans have been arguing for decades that the best way to allocate health care resources is Free Market Capitalism. It's like a religion with them. They claim the way to reduce costs is to force MORE people out of their "Cadillac" health care plans (mainly union workers) and "let the market decide". Idiots!

Let's think about the implications their beliefs for a minute. It's obvious that they have not spent much time analyzing their own beliefs. The cognitive dissonance would have made their heads explode.

More after the jump...

I worked for Sen. Ben Nelson (D-NE) 18 years ago when he won his first primary for Governor by 2 votes. Apparently he or one of his staff remembers and we got 2 tickets to the Inauguration of President Obama!

Doesn't that sound great? PRESIDENT OBAMA!!!!

Anyway - It looks like I might be borrowing a friend's 24' RV and driving to DC. Anybody have suggestions where the best place to park and stay will be? My other option is to drive my MINI, but then I'll have to find lodging. In neither case do I have a lot of spare $$$.

Once again a whiny Republican was on TV a few minutes ago saying we shouldn't raise taxes on the 'job creators' of the country.

So - after eight years of tax cuts for the 'job creators', WHERE THE HELL ARE THE JOBS???!!!???

Having looked at John McCain's tax and health care proposals, knowing of his reckless temper, all the lies he knowingly spouts, and seeing how he's trying to ruthlessly quash Troopergate - I think we need a new meme.

John McCain is not running for Dumbya's 3rd term. McCain is not McSame - he would be McWORSE!

Reasons below.........

After a fantastic, wonderful, in-your-wrinkled-face call-out by Barak Obama in Denver, McCain realized he couldn't win.

He had to do something to distract everyone from his empty campaign. So he picked wingnut Sarah Palin.

What happened to the issues? Taxes, Health Care, Iraq, etc. are all now buried by questions about Palin's daughter's pregnancy. McCain's plan is working to perfection BECAUSE OF ALL THE ENERGY WE'RE WASTING ON HER!

We currently have 51 Senators voting with us. I know that counts whining Joe, but at least he sticks with us on organizing the Senate.

Can we make it to 60? Do we need to?

Is it any surprise that the folks who have the most to gain from low capital gains tax rates are lying?

From John (I have a rich wife) McSame to the multitude of multi-millionare pundits who couldn't analyze a spreadsheet if you told them their children's trust funds depended on it, we're being lied to.

Lower capital gains tax rates do NOT result in more tax receipts. Surprised? I thought not.

Here's why....

I hope there's a country left to govern by fall. The Feds just slashed interest another .25% on SUNDAY!

Bear Stearns is being bought for less than 10 cents on the dollar, and the Fed is pouring more money into the credit houses to try to prevent a crash.

They're all melting down. 911-Rudy, RoboMitt, the Huckster, Sleepy Fred, Straight-Lyin' John. Their campaigns are all imploding.

But it is not by accident - It's a scam.
