Wrock Review

A blog which reviews wizard rock albums has just been started, Wizard Rock Review. The woman writing it is here on Twitter. Friend wrockreview_feed at Dreamwidth or wrockreview at Livejournal to follow along. It just started at the end of July. Reviewed so far: The Whomping Willows, The Remus Lupins, and now she's starting on Draco and the Malfoys.

Another day of yelling at the radio

but really, the smug assurances of the Senate Minority whip that the American public really wants to slow down the pace of health insurance reform is just not to be borne.

WERTHEIMER: And I wonder if you think that whatever it is that the Congress decides to do will be something we can look at by that date?

Sen. KYL: He's set several other deadlines, too, and he hasn't been able to meet them. And I worry a little bit that by setting that deadline, he could be setting himself up for not the best situation. Let's put it that way. If there is no bipartisan agreement by that time, then he would be putting a partisan bill before the committee, and most people, I think, in the administration and on Capitol Hill don't see that as the best way to get this done.

And he wouldn't have to put a partisan bill up there if your party had the slightest bit of interest in anything but GETTING IN THE WAY OF GETTING THINGS DONE.

WERTHEIMER: Do you think we're going to have health care overhaul?

Sen. KYL: I think we will have some changes, hopefully by the end of the year. But I also think that it'll be easier if we try to do this kind of one step at a time, tackling specific problems with specific solutions rather than trying to overhaul the entire system.

Because as we all know, the current system is just peachy.

It was difficult to drive with all the neck-throttling motions I was making. Gad, don't you get it? Pass health insurance reform. Pass it NOW. Pass it TODAY. If you won't help because you don't want President Obama to get credit for doing something the country desperately needs, at least GET OUT OF THE FRICKING WAY.
