First off, LET'S GO REDSOX!

Yes, after years and years with only one World Series they're the guy that calls you back after the first date.

What I most liked about this series was the Redsox were not arrogant. Up three games to none not once did they say something stupid like the guy from Cleveland who said, "The Champagne tastes just as good away as at home." Instead they consistently complemented the Rockies and said things like, "you don't eat your cake before your birthday."

Refreshing.

I'm reading Krugman's book (it's very good) and makes me realize it's not what's the matter with Kansas, it's what's the matter with the Democrats ad agency.

Universal Healthcare. Most Americans want it. We're not afraid that we're going to slide down a slippery slope to Communism if we can all see a physician. Truman had the best chance of pushing it through but the AMA and the Southerners were against it because they might have to desegregate their hospitals.

But we, the average people, want it. Have any of the Republicans pushed forward a plan for it? No. Why then would anyone vote Republican?

Minimum wage. It matters because when the minimum goes up so does the middle. Obviously this helps us. Republicans fight it, Democrats make it happen.

Global Warming. Andrew Sullivan was on Real Time and bitched about Hillary not doing enough about Global Warming. First off Andrew, welcome to the reality based community, but as a conservative, tell me one Republican running who has even a position on Global Warming that involves doing something.

Taxes. Oh, the joy of lower taxes. But we in the bottom 90% don't enjoy lower taxes. And still the Republicans manage to make this a populist issue. Baloney. It's not for us. It's for corporations and the impossibly wealthy.

Why then can't the Democrats hire a fabulous marketing team to get the message across? We're for you making more money, we're for social programs that make your life better, we're for Universal Healthcare which will enable you to switch jobs even with a pre-existing condition, we want everyone to pay taxes, we want to save you, and the world, from Global Warming.

It just seems so obvious that if you make people understand who will actually work for them we can all win.
