We are so doomed.
Hopey Chnagemas!
It was the hopeful audacity for hopeful changiness. Change that would audaciously create hope to look away from the politics of the past to look ahead to the hope of change and the hope that only change can audaciously bring.

As the Obama presidency nears the feeling of forboding in my gut gets stronger and stronger. I ran into a place online where you can watch the movie 1984, for free. There is a piece where there a woman is broadcasting changes in production, and at the end, because things are improving, she announces that the chocolate rations. UGH, I so feel like this is where we are going. The whole feel of that movie freaked me out.
I got an email from the Obama team. I don’t know why I get it. I certainly never signed up for anything from them. I did go to that change.gov website once but I never signed up or in or anything and I think they stole my address. Anyway it is interesting to see how they work things. Obama makes a proposal, his people put it online in vague flowery terms. They change the meaning of words if necessary....ie infrastructure is now investment. They they have their people comment on the proposals. Just one or two to begin with, then as soon as a real person comments they will set them straight real quick if they are not marching in step and so on and so on and before you know it everyone is marching in lock step chanting change change change.
Right. But before we’re doomed we will get a royal screwing.
One word: Dictatorship.
