...and doggone it, the Minnesota Supreme Court likes him.
POLICYWANKER SOAPBOX: Senate Edition
With that, the Democrats achieve their three decade goal of a filibuster-proof margin to fuck up the Republicans.
Let's see how long it takes them to really screw the pooch. As nothing messes with small minds like absolute power.
Take, for example, the proposed revamping of our national Health Care system. With drug and insurance money pouring into every congressional orifice, how long will it take for Dems to swoon under the pressure and "just so happen" to listen to their concerned constituents back home and call for the preservation of personal choice. Personal choice, these are the buzz words of the current rash of commercials hitting the airwaves to scare the gray hairs into calling Washington to plead for no change in the rape and pillage policies of corporate controlled health care.
The ads paint a soviet picture of faceless physicians clueless to our ills and prescription needs. "My doctor" will be lost from our lexicon as we are poked and prodded by anonymous hacks who don't know "where it hurts".
Policywanker points out to these stupid suckers that "where it hurts" is in their slowly shrinking net worth. While co-incidentally, industry analysts have just reaffirmed the Financial Strength Rating (FSR) of health care giant Regence Blue Shield (Full Disclosure: These fuckers are Policywanker's insurers and have just increased his premium, again.) as Excellent. Congratulations Regence.
Which brings Policywanker back to our newest senator.
Al Franken is a funny guy. Not the funniest. But funny enough.
He believes in Universal Health Care, the single-payer kind. Let's see how firmly he stands on this position, withstanding the pressures to amend it to continue clipping the middle-class to foot the bill for poorer citizens.
And then, we'll see who's laughing.
