Just a humorous note to Chad and others that I continue to enjoy seeing the pendulum swing back from the chaos of unregulated markets to something more tolerable to decent human society. I am enjoying seeing the immature and irrational and doctrinaire reaction against it even more. What did you expect? To screw society at large forever? Well, you got away with it for a few years with the nation blinded by the tragedy of 9-11, and Bush, Cheney and Rove in the way, but we "can see clearly now" in Florida at least, especially with Gov Bush out of office. (How 'bout those nationwide thumpin' election results to focus the mind?)

New Republican governor in support, eh? And not a Bush? Maybe there is hope for Republicans yet...only a couple of years now until the next non-Bush president takes office. "America held hostage!" as Rush used to say. What mischief they will be working up soon.

It is not the S word--it is ESCALATION, plain and simple--Vietnam all over again with our VP, who had "other priorites" ahead of military service back then, leading the way again. At least Iran and Iraq are largely contiguous and start with the same letter--helps us have some retention of the facts of international affairs and world history. Reminds me of a line in an early Stevie Wonder song, "Don't you worry 'bout a thing."

"Iran, Iraq...I speak very fluent Spanish."

Stevie can obviously see into the future better than any of us. Just what is our oil doing under their sand anyway?

Hey--I've got an idea--combine TRIA and National Flood with a national windstorm insurance mechanism. The insurers ought to love it--they can offload some of their more difficult exposures, just like W. wants to offload the Social Security liability (that mean us, guys) for his ultra-rich friends, and the new corporate mantra is the offloading of their historical role of providing insurance for employees through some sort of national plan. Seems it makes them non-competitive in the new international marketplace of tomorrow. I just love how these "free" markets do operate.

FDR was a piker! Hey, and Hillary was right about national health and Obama says he's for it too and I am voting for him just to drive every bigoted Republican around the bend. After all, the GOP is now little more than a regional party of the southeast. And hey guys, with the flag of the slave-owning vanquished rebel "government" and the gun racks in your increasingly Japanese pickups trucks--where did all your textiles mills--and jobs--go there in the Southeast? Get anything in return? Any new industries? Ask not what your country can do for you, as JFK used to say--but in a better context for the common man. How about high paying high risk jobs for the Veep's old company Halliburton? Offloading war liabilities onto the common man for cheap. That Republic Party sure rewarded you for your votes...)

Have a great weekend, I love you guys--
