We, the american people, are doomed. Howard Kurtz gives the best write up about the crap on the Hill. Here in washington it's all about these three issue: The WH thinks it's all about tort reform and SS reform and all other sorts of reform (``REE-four-m'' pronounced like the KKK politician from O'Brother); Congress stuck and mired in congressional rules and procedure, with overtones of -shock- political corruption -awe-; And terri schaivo, the human political football, abused worse than Micheal Dukakis in '88. But the reality is, now that the election is long over, most americans are back dealing with their own crap. The economy has sorta picked up but everyone still has record credit card debt. Gas prices are on their way up and the population at large is starting to understand that they're never going down. It doesn't take a job on the _Apprentice_ to see how that affects living costs, shipping costs, business costs, effectively a ``tax'' on everything americans hold dear. So you, me, everyone. Live it up! Live life for the right now. Enjoy it while we still have it. Take a flight to some part of the world you've never been too. Take a road trip across the country. Shoot a buffalo. Take your friends and enjoy the cheap thrills now. We're still americans damnit and, by god, ketchup will still be on the table. --timball Media Notes Extra |
