Missed Opportunity

I was disappointed to learn that Senator Landrieu sent a subordinate in her place to the open house at Pres Kabacoff's girfriend's Bywater Hippiedrome on Saturday. According to The Healing Center's website, the organization seeks to offer the following services to the community.

• Yoga


• Homeopathic and herbal supplements


• Self-Improvement and educational books


• "Audio instruction manuals for exercise and life-style enhancement"


• Amateur-taught shop classes inspired by "the belief that comradeship and learning are fundamental to self-awareness, self-integration, self-healing, and community healing"


• Juice


• And naturally, "Healing Center logo brand clothes and supplies."

It's a shame the Senator couldn't be on-hand to mix with the crowd at this event. I was really hoping someone would ask her if, in light of her opposition to a public option health plan, she was endorsing the Healing Center's "holistic" health offerings and merchandise as an alternative to the actual medicine she doesn't seem too excited to help anyone get access to.
