1. Michael's bsaeball hats

Is there any list of the number of hats Mike has worn? Near as I could tell he was wearing a Rutgers hat on Keith last night.

Keith and Michael spoke as if they just met each other last night? I thought Michael has been on Keith a lot more than just last night?

Thanks

2. We need people to articulate the message

Fat chance that is going to happen, when the advocates for single-payer are actively DIS-invited from the discussion. The left is speaking up as they always do, this time they are actively being muzzled.

5. This one's a home run.

From start to finish.

One of a number of good points made:

<snip>

NK: Wasn't part of it also, though, that the left, or progressives, or whatever you want to call them, have been in something of a state of disarray with regard to the Obama administration--that most people favor universal healthcare, but they couldn't rally behind it because it wasn't on the table?

MM: Yes. And that's why Obama keeps turning around and looking for the millions behind him, supporting him, and there's nobody even standing there, because he chose to take a half measure instead of the full measure that needed to happen. Had he taken the full measure--true single-payer, universal healthcare--I think he'd have millions out there backing him up.
