I can see Vermont from (the rooftop of) my house!

No, wait, it's Massachusetts I'm looking at. Or is it Connecticut?

Or maybe I'm looking as far away as Maine - the home of Senator Olympia Snow.

Oh, yeah! That reminds me. Did President Obama forget to incorporate the Public-Option "trigger" that Olympia Snow suggested into his "health care" plan? I mean, he used the reconciliation process to get his "health care" bill approved. Why didn't he include the trigger? Could he have done so? 'Cause without any kind of public-option, or at least the threat of one, nothing really happened in Washington, yesterday. The rich health care insurance companies will continue to get rich - per law eff 3/23/2010.

If Obama went back to the Senate to kind-of surreptitiously re-negotiate a bill that included the "trigger" and THEN jammed it through reconciliation....never mind. Go back to sleep.
