In a bar in Toledo across from the depot

On a barstool she took off her ring. I thought Id get closer. So I walked on over. I sat down and asked her name. When the drink finally hit her. She said Im no quitter, but I finally quit living on dreams. Im hungry for laughter, and here ever after I'm after whatever the other life brings.

Mitt Romney, The Least Interesting Man in the World

He refuses to watch the Lawrence Welk show because it was too risque.

His idea of a stiff drink is 2% Milk.

To him, heavy metal music is someone ringing a bell made out of silver.

He is the least interesting man in the world.

If The SCOTUS Strikes Down The ACA, Do Not Expect Single Payer Health Care Any Time Soon

By getting rid of the mandates, that will set up a pure battle between a highly dysfunctional private health care system vs. a Single Payer system. However, do not expect Dem pols to take up the Single Payer battle. Sure, some Dems will give it lip service. Sure, some Dems will propose it, but it will go no where fast.

The ACA, as flawed as it may be, was the one glimmer of hope to get health insurance to more people. Without it, the ranks of the un-insured will grow, and Single Payer won't happen for another 50 years.
