"Ridiculous as these examples sound, I still convinced people to believe them. In other words, I'm very good at taking crap and convincing people it's chocolate, and can surely convince travelers that being groped by government agents is perfectly compatible with life in a free country. I am also looking to replace "low-paid journalist" with a more respectable and stable career serving my government and my country, in that order, by working for the Department of Homeland Security. The ad for this job said "[Y]our services touch every US citizen," and I personally am willing to touch as many US citizens, resident aliens and foreign tourists as necessary to make Janet Napolitano feel she has the whole "terrorism" thing safely under control.
I currently live in Connecticut but am willing to relocate to the Washington, DC area, and I can pass a drug test with only 30 days' advance notice."

Kevin Drum is right. As sucky as the current Senate bill is, it's a marked improvement over the status quo ante and it gives a path to more reforms later. Failing to pass a bill (as advocated by some progressive leaders) is suicide. Democratic voters are already demoralized from all the…
