Wagner shined today. Wow! Way to go! A little tough sledding w/Bashir but when/if Wagner actually settles, that could be great. She may actually have some of that self brilliance which she is trying so desperately to prove she possesses. It is in relative calmness of the mind wherein the mystery of brilliance thrives. Wagner is beginning to calm down. Today she showed touches of the possibility of brilliance. She also supplied Bashir with a brief and brilliant metaphorical wedgie, which he richly earned. Haha. Wagner could be for real. She may have a real conscience. It's time for real.

Regarding the coming PPACA decision: I expected S.E. Cupp to give us the usual GOP/Conservative BS about it, but, I'm really disappointed with Ezra Klein for not doing his homework; ignorance is definitely not bliss; here's why I'm disappointed with Klein: he parroted the GOP party line that the PPACA can not survive without the Individual Mandate...that's highly incorrect due to two other rules included in the Act: the first reason is something that the media haven't been covering much---the 80% rule; the second is the prohibition of insurance companies and healthcare providers "jacking up their rates" to make up for the profit lost with the 80% rule. The first rule simply states that 80% of the money that healthcare providers and insurance companies receive has to be spent on patient care...the second rule stops those companies from jacking up the rates. We've already seen these two rules in action, as many insurance companies and a few healthcare providers now have to give several million people more than $1 billion in rebates...come on, Ezra! You can do better than that! :( ssmdh
