    We pause for a brief public service announcement.

    I'm on far too many e-mail lists, but I can't bring myself to take myself off of any.  It's rather like being unable to put down a boring book because I'm afraid the next chapter will get interesting, or leaving  the pub before closing, figuring that the interesting stuff will happen as soon as I leave.  (This was a problem visiting  New Orleans, where closing time is a myth).

    Anyhow.  I got a message from Chris Dodd's Organization  today:

    We have now put forward landmark legislation to reform the nation's health care system, and I need your help.

    The first step is to get input from as many people as possible all over the country. I want you to have your chance to speak out.

    I made a comment about this kind of involvement on someone's blog, and I'm going to speak out as soon as I finish this.  And of course I'm going to argue for government insured health care for all.  I'm also going to send the page to the people on my e-mail list.

    I suppose to hope that this e-mail on health care goes viral is too big a groaner to tolerate.  I apologize in advance.
