Remember the BP oil spill...

...back in the spring of 2010? It claimed eleven lives and ran on for 87 days. It was on the news every night and practically the only thing anyone talked about. Now it seems like a distant memory, doesn't it?

I wonder if all this Sturm und Drang over the dysfunctional HealthCare.gov website will have the same trajectory. It seems like the biggest thing in the news right now and will never get fixed. But I'll bet before too long it will be working as intended and the Affordable Care Act will be benefiting millions of people.

And the Democrats will do just fine in the 2014 midterms.
