Senate Democrats roll over and acquiesce to "Joe" Wilson's breach of decorum.
Maybe changes were needed in this area. But to make them right now rewards the worst elements of American politics.
Any idiot would know that. But apparently not the Democratic leadership in the Senate.

Infantile religion
People who think god is going to enforce their political views about health care have a narrow and primitive grasp of the enormousness of the universe.
Conservatives continue to fan the flames of ignorance, as they so often find it expedient to do. Democrats seem barely able to respond.
The first step, when the Republicans and their angry, ignorant constituents are telling or at least repeating lies, is to say flat out that they're lying. There are honest disagreements about policy, but most of this confrontation is about the knowing dissemination of falsehoods.
Republicans resort to lies because they can't win on the truth.
Update: Edited to fix a really bad sentence.

What a downer!
The USDA wants slaughterhouses to be able to feed us cattle that are too sick to stand.
