Someone should tell Joe Lieberman...
That progressive Democrats are working toward the same system that ISRAEL has.

Health care in Israel is both universal and compulsory, and is administered by a small number of organizations with funding from the government. All Israeli citizens are entitled to the same Uniform Benefits Package, regardless of which organization they are a member of, and treatment under this package is funded for all citizens regardless of their financial means. According to a 2000 study by the World Health Organization, Israel has the 28th best health care in the world.

Of course, the current Senate bill has nowhere NEAR this level of coverage, but it's a start.

1. someone should tell lieberman
that creatures such as he are tolerated in the wild but in cultivated gardens folk use pellets or sometimes salt to control their numbers.
personally i prefer to go outside just after dark with a flashlight and cut the slimy creatures in half with garden sheers.

2. I think Joe is very aware that....
...he will not be re-elected next time around. And he is giving the Democratic Party a big FU since he perceives they didn't stand by him in 2006.

4. I think Lieberman is driven by rage
at Democrats because they tried to throw him out of office in 2006. I also think he realizes this is his last term, no matter what he does.

He's proof of why anyone defeated in the primary should never be elected in the general.
