The Bush bailout of the Big 3
Senator Al Franken
Senator Caroline Kennedy....
Sheesh.
Talk about demoralizing.
Can someone write me a positive/motivational response?
“Can someone write me a positive/motivational response?”
Let’s see...home interest rates are at a 37 year low. Ready for another housing bubble in 3-5 years? Did that help?
I feel your pain, FRiend. Maybe this will cheer you up:
For the next two years, the other 98 Senators will hate having to go to work. Not only will they have to suffer the boorish Al Franken, but every last bit of media spotlight will be centered on Caroline Kennedy.
Caroline will be the equivalent of a media black hole. Democrat Senators will be predictably awed at the outset, but that will soon turn to jealousy as she continues to hog the spotlight. "Live Shot" Kerry? Who the heck is he? All these media whores, ahem Senators, will really chafe at being bit players in the Senate version of the new Camelot.
Feel better?
As for myself, I've been fixated on the notion that "Washingtonians", as coined by el Rushbo, are forbears of the Morlocks, and Obama is the Uber-Morlock. The Eloi are all of the special interests that feed at the trough of government largesse.
As you can see, I need to be cheered up, too.
The Rubicon for me is FOCA, and I'm not sure that Obama's going to sign that as soon as his supporters think. When he does, and he will, the Culture War will be re-engaged. This time, I truly believe the Catholic Church will be leading the battle, and there will be excommunication of certain politicians who call themselves Catholics.
Sure. Repeat after me: "I’m good enough, I’m smart enough, and dog-gone it, people like me."
There. You should be all set.
