You now,I miss Robert Reich.

Hard to believe that, well, left or right of the political spectrum and regardless of opinion, Bill Clinton sure knew how to delegate cabinet-level responsibilities to, well, actual cabinet-level leaders.

Bush? Pfft. “Hell of a job, [insert cutesy nickname of incompetent cronie here].”

It’s truly quite a mess and I am going to stop thinking about it all for a few weeks.

I was in a book store the other day and picked up one of those heavily discounted books to flip through, it was some economic prognosticator who several years back predicted the whole thing and the solutions were there at least three or four years ago in that book – sad.

Reverend Wright is being lynched (by people who think Obama will also hang). I’m hearing people on CNN who are calling Wright’s statements “hateful,” and actually comparing this fine (if brutally honest) man to nuts like Louis Farrakhan.

Anybody who disagrees with Wright’s statements should just go now and offer their support at the nearest McCain headquarters.

Thanks for sharing that article. She nails Bush.

Now I guess we can only hope the candidate who receives the most votes will actually win the election this time.

The important thing is
not to panic.
This was predicted years ago and some liberal economist proposed solutions, no one listened.

There’s so much going on right now, hard to not feel anxious. I tend to feel pretty positive about things, we are almost to a new president (hopefully democrat) and things will look up soon. We are such a cool and diverse country. We have so much opportunity that so many don’t have. Even at our worst, we’re doing pretty good. We’ll survive this economic stuff.

I’m so ready for a president who doesn’t seem quite as much like somebody’s drinking buddy.

In the meantime, happy to see you’re still blogging.

ps I was Ranting about spitzer the other day. Boy, did I ever used to rant more.

pps I heard some people saw another seal hanging out on the kayak launch at 79th Street last weekend. 2 in one winter – that’s pretty cool!
