A continuation of our “Mass Effect” series, inspired by the video game novel of the same name.

Healthcare and reconciliation has been passed and signed,

But Republicans to their loss are unresigned.

Their anger is so out-of-control they can’t conceal it.

They’ve already started talking about how they plan to repeal it.

Not long ago, they’d crow and crow;

Now, they’re forced to eat that crow.

They thought they had healthcare reform beat.

That reversal makes Dems’ victory all the more sweet.

Thanks, Scott Brown, especially to you:

We couldn’t have done it without your help too.

If you hadn’t won your special election,

There would have been more special deals to prevent Dem defection.

Your victory forced us to move ahead

With a much more direct method instead.

Reconciliation turned out to be a much better way.

So thank you, Scott, for saving the day.

There’s a saying that never gets old:

Revenge is a dish that’s best served cold.

Not that we passed healthcare reform just for retribution,

But that’s a nice side benefit for that Continuing Resolution.

Here’s Senator Dodd on Countdown 3/24/10 agreeing that my earlier post saying that Dems were better off without that 60^th vote was right (unfortunately, he doesn’t mention my blog by name).

Here’s your theme music for today, Retribution by Biohazard (see the lyrics below, which I think appropriately describe the deceptive GOP attempt to defeat healthcare reform).

Retribution lyrics

Why do you lie, why do you cheat

Why do you try and deceive

Always twisting around what you say

You better change your foolish ways

This world does not need

Always finding new friends to betray

Payback now

Why do you lie, why do you cheat

Why do you try and deceive

Always twisting around what you say

You better change your foolish ways

This world does not need

Always finding new friends to betray

Payback now

 

Gonna get yours

what’s coming to you

Gonna get yours,

It’s the big payback now

See what you’ve done to me you fool,

I payback now

Backstabber, Payback now

 

I can’t find reason to believe

any word you say is true

Always living surrounded by lies

unless it comes from deep within

Honesty’s not for you

Your actions will end in your demise

Payback now

ChorusI entrusted you

and you stabbed me in the back

Trust is what you earn

Tell me that respect I lack

Reason to believe any other word to use

for what you’ve done to me

In the end you’ll be the one to lose

In the end you’ll be the one to lose

I entrusted you – wrong

And you stabbed me in the back

Trust is wat you earn – fool

Tell me that respect I lack

Reason to belive – lies

Any other word to use

for what you’ve done to me

In the end you’ll be the one to lose

 

Gonna get yours

what’s coming to you

Gonna get yours,

It’s the big payback now

See what you’ve done to me you fool,

I payback now

Backstabber, Payback now

I can’t find reason to believe

any word you say is true

Always living surrounded by lies

unless it comes from deep within

Honesty’s not for you

Your actions will end in your demise

Payback now

 

I entrusted you

and you stabbed me in the back

Trust is what you earn

Tell me that respect I lack

Reason to believe any other word to use

for what you’ve done to me

In the end you’ll be the one to lose

In the end you’ll be the one to lose

I entrusted you – wrong

And you stabbed me in the back

Trust is wat you earn – fool

Tell me that respect I lack

Reason to belive – lies

Any other word to use

for what you’ve done to me

In the end you’ll be the one to lose
