We need to keep the corporate media's handwringing post-mortems to a minimum and keep this story's shelf life as short as possible.

Any constructive ideas? No snark please.

8. This ain't about p.r. It's about anger.

Anger by progressives like myself who would rather stay home than condone this jackass corporate payoff of a "health reform" plan.

13. Bring HCR up to a vote and make Reps vote against it. Stand up and be counted. Get the DNC

Wait. On edit, I think that might have been snark.

Actually, I don't think there's anything "we" can do. We just have to let it run its course.
