I know Obamacare gets all the press these days - even here - but things are worse than you think.

It's always refreshing to see someone step up and - instead of just adding another voice to the cacophony - do something about it.

So, I had this whole top 10 list, end-of-the-year, thing planned for my last post of 2009, but you know what they say about the best-laid plans...

It's clear from last night's historic political beat down that the Democrats resemble one of those warbling American Idol rejects. (And not even good enough to stick in the brain like old Mr. "Pants on Da Ground".)

It's a little disappointing that with so much real news going on (let's see if Haiti gets as much airtime as Leno), we have to resort to so much barrel scraping.

So much for transparency.

In this economy, can any of us afford to be nonchalant?

Who would you pick?
