The Dog Days of Summer...

are finally over. Hopefully the August heat has finally let up and I'm happy to report I am back. August, on another note, has been equally troublesome to healthcare reform in the Beltway. There still are people standing up on the good side of things, though. Although he was quite a pain last July on FISA, I'm really impressed with Sen. Rockefeller on the Ed Show recently. Saying companies like Blue Cross Blue Shield can be co-ops isn't exactly an "enforcer" role to take. It's just changing words around so that nothing happens.
