For single-payer supporting Monty Python fans only
And now for something incompletely different -- about certain folks' complete indifference -- we present the Single-Payer Advocate Meets the Progressive Blogosphere sketch.

Please K&R if you'd like more DUers to see the linked post.

1. Sad, but true...kos and Avrois don't want to change the system,
they want to be part of the system...their blogs is their platform to attaining that.

5. Funny how transparency doesn't matter any more
Nor civil liberties, defending the constitution, etc.

As long as our tribe wins, and we get to feel good, nothing else matters. Certainly not policy.

15. Well, he promised to expand the faith-based initiatives, and he has!
He promised not to support gay marriage, and he hasn't.
