Things are not settled yet. And I misspoke when I said two fatal shootings. I need to jump up there and re-edit. I thought I had properly revised and I had not. There was ONE fatal shooting; the other was NOT fatal. My error.<br /><br />Nancy--Your reference to LBJ has been much echoed by the media as of late. His methods of big-player meetings in the Oval are legend. I know Obama trumpets "transparency" and "bipartisanship," and I laud those things; really, I do. But I think a nice mix of LBJ's Old Style Politicking and Barack's Niceties might be very much In Order. No reason he can't call in some of these GOP Whiners and Speedbumps and ask what they need, meet them part way, then tell them what they'll get.

Not that I can really afford to turn anything down at this point. Man, I didn't realize I there was a second killing. Maybe I should pay MORE attention to the news. Or maybe mu. murders are not news anymore, just everyday occurances. <br /><br />I'm so far our of the political circle, pathetic, I know.

LOL.<br /><br />Mikey--The public option is absolutely critical, in my opinion. It was a strenuously campaigned platform plank for Obama, and he needs to remember that. My issue with him is that he has to get tough, period. I think he is too accommodating. Get in the Oval, get Rahm on the horn, call in the right people, and smack down these morons who are sidetracking things.Nancehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17627214346956206283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15179498.post-25375777022003498682009-08-26T12:23:10.860-04:002009-08-26T12:23:10.860-04:00Nance, you do make the best case yet for combat pa...Nance, you do make the best case yet for combat pay for teachers.<br /><br />I just love how you speak my mind on everything else.

I'm disappointed that he's considering dropping the public option, though. There's a lot of stupid people out there, but you'll have just as hard a time passing it without that than with.<br /><br />And yay Barney Frank.

Trust me, the day he coordinates ANYTHING with me...well, let's just say that's not likely!)<br /><br />Melissa B.--"the two are not related."

(Our favoritest, most beloved horse in the world had to be put down yesterday.)<br /><br />When I'm in charge, there will be selective euthanasia: Rush Limbaugh and others of his ilk, religious zealots (Taliban first), gang members, Amy Winehouse, and Octo-idiot. I have no patience for any of their crap. And to Brett Favre: you're embarrassing yourself. Stay retired.<br /><br />As for your tie hiatus, I just assumed you told BriWi that you were unavailable, so he left town until you could get back on track.

The 2 are not related.<br />2. I watched BW tonite. He got a vacation haircut! Do you comment on his hair, or just on his ties?<br />3. Rush Limbaugh is a bloviated idiot. Someone should shoot him. Or give him some of those Michael Jackson drugs so he can take a good long nap. Perhaps a dirt nap?<br />4. Michael Jackson is still dead. This is getting like the Generalissmo Franco jokes on SNL in the 70s. He's dead. Get over it, people!<br />5. I have one more week of "freedom" before reporting to duty. I am strangely lookin forward to my school year.

I'm even tired of Brett Favr...I'm here. :)<br /><br />I'm even tired of Brett Favre's antics, and the ONLY thing I know about him is that he keeps retiring and un-retiring from sport or another.<br /><br />Barney Frank is indeed awesome. I was thrilled when he got fed up.<br /><br />I'm a bit fed up with Obama, but I'm trying to not give up hope *yet*. But I'm not die hard enough to think that he has some great plan that he's trying to ease us into. I heard a quote (which I am going to paraphrase here) from FDR or LBJ or one of those guys, and he basically said, if you want big change to happen, you need to *MAKE* me do it. Which kind of bugged me, but the person talking went on to explain that what he meant was that big change requires a huge majority of support from the public, in order to force congress to comply. So people need to get MORE involved than just voting for Obama and hoping for the best. <br /><br />Damn, it always seems like that, doesn't it? I'm lazy enough to want that to be enough. Vote for the people I like, and trust that they'll be able to get the rest done without my help.<br /><br />Your week sounds HORRID. Here's hoping it's the worst one of the entire year, and that all those weeks to come are much easier, quieter, cooler, and less dangerous.Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00653383372182667361noreply@blogger.com
