Here's What's Going On In Health Care Reform

The news and speculation break almost hourly about what direction the White House will take and what signals it's sending out.
Finally, somebody gets it right:

A careful deconstruction of recent statements reveals an irresolvable tension within the text itself. The administration necessarily supports and opposes the public option. Though the opposition is only implicit in the statements of support, the terms signifying his opposition are central to a multifaceted understanding of the ambiguous sense of the term "support." This aporia must ultimately dissolve in the universal recognition that the public option both is and is not itself. With or without a trigger, it will be infinitely deferred, always ascendant but never fulfilled as a thing in-and-for-itself. It is a paradox spiraling ever downward into the enigmatic abyss that is Barack Obama, the man whose purely reflective symbolic significance condemns him to serve simultaneously as our Christ and Judas.

This is why I read blogs and not newspapers.
