Sounds like Tuesday's shocking win by a Republican of Ted Kennedy's Massachusetts Senate seat has now spelled the end of Health Care Reform in the foreseeable future. The irony that it would be Kennedy's state (and seat), one of the most liberal areas of the entire country, that would bring about this incredibly unfortunate turn of events is almost beyond words.
I had such hope for that country a year ago, but I really think that it's imploding on the force of its own stupidity any more. When people can depict an attempt toward universal health care as being equivalent to Nazism and there are thousands who accept that insane notion, you know that your country is headed toward ruin. I'm sure there are still millions of intelligent members of the species living there, but they're definitely being outshouted by their moronic brethren right now. And President Obama doesn't seem to have a clue how to deal with it, as he continues to talk about "bipartisanship" as if the Republican Party where made up of people who could actually think for themselves.
I suppose those of us outside the U.S. should at least appreciate the fact that we have front row seats for the spectacle of this train wreck.

Hard to believe that they managed to fail at implementing Health Care in the 21st century...I think we really are watching the fall of Rome and it's just too bad Canada is tied at the hip.
