the daily show has been phenomenal this week. i think Wednesday night's was the highlight, but all quite excellent.

the thing i don't understand--and what i think Obama started to cogently do in the town hall meeting (with the NRA dude) today is why so much coverage and conversation is being made of the crazies, and so little focusing on talking points in favor of the health care plan. You can win this debate with two points i think.
1. (and obama made this one today, thank god), we are held hostage to insurance companies who want to deny coverage.
2. give everyone Congress' health plan.

instead everyone seems so wrapped up in the complexities of the plan, in apologizing for nationalization. its frustrating to watch the liberals fail to learn this lesson (how to frame the debate in their terms) again and again--and watch it be stolen by (not even conservative politicians), but complete crazies. arrrrrgh.
