Corrente is a proud recipient of a 2006 Golden Monkeyfist Award! The trophy will be prominently displayed behind the Mighty Corrente Building Wet Bar for all to admire as they sip their microbrews.

Check out the other winners. It's like the A-List of the B-list blogs. I have a theory that the A-list blogs will lose their value to readers as their swelling mass causes them to be increasingly influenced by the Beltway's gravity. The initial value of blogs was their independence and honesty. I think true info-conoisseurs will increasingly turn to the B-list for bloggy goodness.

Thanks, Monkeyfister!

Congratulations. I have no idea what that is, but I'm glad you won it and feel it was well-deserved.

The text of HR676 (Medicare For All) as PDF (30 pages). The FAQ. Compare HR3200 with HR676.

Medicare for All would save $350 billion a year (study in New England Journal of Medicine).

02:24:14 Jeff W Elizabeth Warren on the economy on PBS's NOW: you can watch it online here: [url] "If [Congress] gets it wrong, the country we knew is gone."
17:52:53 Davidson So, of course they're not going to show the truth about boxing her in from the beginning.
17:51:57 Davidson Yeah, that was just a comment in general, like, "Not even the RBC decision warranted scrutiny."
15:38:02 lambert That's not the RBC meeting, though. That's the smoking gun, beyond "Smart politics" (Wolfson).
14:17:16 Davidson Notice how everyone still avoids exposing the RBC decision
14:16:04 Davidson Can someone do a post on this? [url]
10:04:26 lambert Jeff, thanks. Fixed.
