A little time off

I’ve tried over the past couple days to write a follow-up to Monday’s post, but everything I started kind of devolved into either an angry rant, exasperated vent or massive, dense refutation. None of those worked (so, I got to add to my list of drafts…).

I was cheered today that the New York Times reported Democrats are preparing to ignore the Republicans and just go ahead with healthcare reform without them (since they’d never agree to anything, anyway). However, there’s conflicting opinion on whether the public option is or is not still part of the plan (it must be, I still say, for reform to mean anything).

So I’m just backing off the whole subject of healthcare reform for awhile until things are a little clearer. The whole thing is too confusing and keeping up with it requires that I pay attention to what the right wing is saying, and, quite frankly, I’m sick of getting mad at what I see or read. So, a little time off is in order.

The same doesn’t hold for other subjects, of course.
