1. On to the main event.
Reconciliation with the HELP bill and then with the House.

5. It's over.
This bill's provisions will be the framework Reid uses in "merging" it with HELP. Health Care Reform is dead. And so are millions more Americans.

7. It's the dashing of hope that gets people upset..
Expect the worst and it's not quite as maddening when it happens.

Optimists never get a nice surprise while pessimists never get a nasty one.

3. Whoopee

A disgusting piece of legislation that will now have to be fought against tooth and nail...

Let's fight.
