Saturday Morning Open Thread

Good morning.

John Lundberg, who writes the poem of the week blog, had a great column over at Huffington this week. It's titled, Sarah Palin, the Anti-Poet. Fun read. Unlike poets who offer enlightenment, John explains that Palin "offers delightenment--if that were like, you know, a word. Quote unquote. All those things."

There hasn't been much enlightenment in politics from any this past week. The Democrats on Capitol Hill should be ashamed, especially the Blue Dogs and some of the wimpy Freshmen. Max Baucus, too. They're trying so hard to punt on health care reform, it boggles the mind. They're doing the dirty work of the GOP. Again. Democrats have power for a reason. They were elected to deliver. Democrats cannot go on vacation without passing health care reform. They just can't. It makes one wonder if our leaders have the capacity to solve problems anymore.

At least it's the weekend...
