Melissa Harris-Perry just gave an awesome rant about Jindal

And how he's completely fake and how his only concern is checking the boxes so he positions himself for 2016.

Rock on MHP! Just watched her show this morning. Great to hear a smart conversation.

...for doing nothing but suggesting that Romney is wrong.

It was good for him to say that. But, he gets to be considered moderate for doing nothing moderate--but denying the very radical Romney position.

Melissa has again enlightened us.

Edited to acknowledge the excellent poem!

If the people of Louisiana really voted in their own interest he would have never seen public office.

Love it or hate it, the ACA is the law of the land. In a little over a month, 2014 and the end of pre-existing conditions and the promise of having health security will be a reality.

Stands to reason that one day a medicare for all plan will be created to compete with private insurers in the exchanges. Then the medicare eligibility age will be a relic. Maybe it's too optimistic, but I've felt pretty hopeful since the election.

Whatever happens - I'm very happy that the dems have the executive branch for four more years where so much rule making takes place.

When I heard him dissing Romney he sounded almost Nebraskan.
