The New York Times has a front page story today that hunts desperately for a whiff of scandal in Al Gore's investments in green tech.

Apparently, the best they can come up with is this formulation:

Few people have been as vocal about the urgency of global warming and the need to reinvent the way the world produces and consumes energy. And few have put as much money behind their advocacy as Mr. Gore and are as well positioned to profit from this green transformation, if and when it comes.

Already, the usual suspects are foaming at the mouth.

Perhaps it is too late in the game to start getting clever, but the following idea occurred to me earlier. I think I have figured out a surefire way to get the PO through the Senate, while bringing all the conservadems on board, and at the same time enticing Sen. Snowe along for the ride. And under my plan, the nation -- and specifically the citizens of red states -- would fare better than they would under opt out. What is this diabolical, nigh genius plan you ask?

In an Organizing for America e-mail, President Obama has released what he's calling "The President's Plan for Health Reform."

There's actually some new stuff here, such as a call for "immediate medical malpractice reform projects that could help doctors focus on putting their patients first, not on practicing defensive medicine."

But of most interest to the folks around here is the public option, which most definitely is in the Plan.

I mean, the guy is Bush/Cheney light.

He's no better than a Republican. A Republicrat, I think we call them around here.

Or a corporatocrat.

Whatever you call him, he's a failure, and it's time to start looking for a Democratic challenger.

and that is progress. Well, for me, personally. I'm one of the dreaded "Obama apologists," but I'm more than willing to sell Daschle down the river. For the first time, I can publicly tell the administration, "meh." Oh, to be sure, I could make arguments for ignoring Daschle's lapses, but in this instance: why bother?
