1. Link is taking me to a story

of criminals trying to sell blocks of wood as laptops. I can't seem to find the story.

This dropped pretty fast so I'm kicking. Will give a rec as well.

4. As the benefits of the new HC law fall into place, more & more

people will want it to stay. It's really too bad that most of the new regs couldn't have been enacted right away. I know I heard yesterday that some of the benefits to reducing the donught hole will take place early next year and THAT will bring onboard a lot of seniors.

5. That's what I think too. Americans always want instant gratification. n/t

6. The widespread approval of the Arizona-like immigration law is really disheartening.

13. Roughly speaking, it looks like the McCain voters still hate Obama. Whether he's actually

lost much ground since the 2008 election seems harder to determine: a certain number of people never vote and will badmouth whoever's in office; disillusioned swing voters might account for a point or two, but overall it's hard to guess how this breaks down into disillusioned liberal-leaning swings and disillusioned conservative-leaning swings; there might also be a point or two in easily-discouraged lefties who voted for Obama but are disgusted by his centrist plays

14. If the HCR bill

allowed re-importation of drugs and included a strong Public Option, approval would have been way up. The HCR bill has dragged Obama's approval down.
