Tonight I had the displeasure of watching on C-SPAN a broadcast from the "Center for American Progress Action" where Senator Baucus spoke to a small crowd followed by questions and a panel of experts on healthcare (Norm Ornstein, Karen Tumulty of Time Magazine, and Paul Begala, moderated by a professor of public policy from Georgetown whose name escapes me right now). It was very depressing to watch for a physician who works for single-payer and really for anyone who cares about how our political system works.

More beyond the jump.

My first diary, although I’ve been lurking for years, so go easy.

I’ve been reading and hearing the newscasters etc trying to establish and implant the idea that we are still a "center-right" country and that Democrats should "reach across the aisle" and be bipartisan. I decided that one way to try to nip that in the bud was simply to call my representative and senators and let them know I didn’t think that was true. I ended up calling the offices of Mike Thompson, Dianne Feinstein, Barbara Boxer, Nancy Pelosi, and Harry Reid.

more below the fold.
