Actually, I was listening to it. I like the Klezmatics.

And you're a mod now, eh?

Nope! That's why I said it wasn't my decision to make. You did notice that, right?

If it was, though...........

But maybe you were just foolin' around. Good. Me too.

So, this means "If you're fooling, so am I but, if you're not fooling, I'm not either"?

You need to be more clear.

Oddly enough, when you say that I have a "long way to go" in achieving reason and independent thought, I tend to think you're talking about me.

An excellent platform plank for the Democrats in 2016.

Not really. How do you reckon they could spin that without sounding as if they were saying that the Obamacare that a Democratic administration and a Democratic congress brought you is broken and what we need is another Democratic administration and Democratic congress to fix it?

I mean, we know that the blame for Obamacare's shortcomings can be liberally spread around between both parties and the SCOTUS but the Democrats are the party the voters identify with it and with its problems.

Look hard-ass, I took responsibility for the mis-communication, and I apologized. Either you'll accept it, or you won't. Either way I who gives a shit.

And sure...you were listening to klezmer.

Yes, I was. I like them. Deal with it.

Would it surprise you to learn that I'm making a chuppa for my landlord's daughter's wedding in July?

Thought so.

I think we need to drop this now. I suspect we'll never like one another but we don't really need to show it all the time. It gets pretty silly.

I actually hope that the Dems lead with health care reform and single payer. But I fail to see what the Repubs or SCOTUS have to do with any of the passage and implementation of PPACA. If anything, SCOTUS gave Obamacare a big, wet kiss in 2012.

And another excellent argument goes down the drain.

No doubt for the same reasons I don't.

A big wet kiss with a cyanide pill under their tongue. Medicare Expansion? State Exchanges?

And the "Blue Dogs" certainly did some serious damage, as well as the Senator from Aetna Joe Lieberman but the Republicans in both houses worked strenuously to defeat the legislation.

Works for me. Thank-you. Silly indeed.
