In the world of prostitution the 'john' is the client of the prostitute.  When a prostitute takes the client's money, but does not fulfill the contract by providing sexual services, it's called "rolling a john'.  Let's see if we can get congress to roll their johns in the healthcare and insurance industries.  With the machinations in congress, and particularly the Senate over the healthcare 'debate', I suggest as a motivational tool for the further instruction of recalcitrant Dems, the formation of a Political Action Committee whose sole purpose is to mount primary challenges to those Senators who fail to support the writing of a viable public option, or to vote in support of a public option.  That might help divert their attention away from their paramours in the insurance, pharmaceutical and healthcare industries and back to their constituents.  

Saturday in southern New Mexico in June, and it's muy calido.  Time to bustamove.  Make like a bakery truck and haul buns, or a hockey player and get the puck out of here.  It's already afternoon, but the days are long, so I drop the hound off at a friends' place, and fire up the motorcycle.  Just putting the plan in motion begins to cool things off a bit, and once the bike and I are rolling yo estoy fresco.  It looks like it's raining in the mountains, but I just don't care.  It's got to be a bit cooler up there, and I've got my rain suit in the saddle bags.  Within 20 minutes I've gained over 4000 feet in elevation and am into the clouds.  Now it's raining and I'm a little too cool.  Stop at a minute mart and don the rain gear.  Five minutes later I'm on my way through a light drizzle.  My temperature's good and I'm dry in my goretex cocoon.  Since it's raining I decide to ride a direction I don't normally go, which will take me back down the eastern side of the mountains, and theoretically away from the rain showers.  Twenty five minutes later. my decision seems sound, as the rain clouds dissipate, and the sun begins to peek through.  What a beautiful corner of the world this is.  Rain or shine, there's no denying that.  Starting to get hot now.  Stop.  Doff the rain gear and keep riding.  Not too far.  If I keep going this direction, I'll be entering the Permian Lands.  Kinda like Mordor, with it's oil and gas infrastructure everywhere, only it's sunny.
