Quote by TriSec:
Given today's culture though, I doubt the electorate is ready to wait a long time for anything.
Remember that FDR was elected in 1932....by the eve of WWII, 7 years later, we were only on the road to recovery, but not there yet. Fortunately much of what he did made the production victory of WWII possible.
In the 'instant gratification' era, I wonder how patient America will be for a recovery?
Quote by TriSec:
At the end of the day, these three things matter:
Is there food on the table?
Do my kids have a warm, safe place to sleep tonight?
Am I going to work tomorrow?
The party that can deliver that will remain in power or win the next election. It's that simple.

That's been my nagging concern as well...

And in TriSec's Idle Thought of the Day, I am wondering why one of Microsoft's fonts is named "Trebuchet MS"....
Isn't a Trebuchet this beast?

What?
That's not The Onion?
They really built a monument and lit an eternal flame to celebrate their takeover in 1994?
Time to blow that out, methinks.

I didn't know that either. Amazing huh? The GOP ego knows no boundries.
Quote by m-hadley:
I just sent this message to Steph ( and I mean it - haruuumph :rage:)
Enough with the bi-partisanship! In the current Stimulus Package, Democrats gave up birth control for poor people (a move that would save loads of money, never mind unnecessary abortions - I thought that the GOP loathed abortions - guess not). Dems also included over 40 billion dollars of non-stimulating tax cuts against their better judgment and against all advice from noted economists worth any salt. Why did they do these things? Just to get the Republicans to go along with the Bill and what thanks did they get for making these concessions? Nothing, Nada, Zero, Zilch - not one freaking Republican voted for the Stimulus Bill. So I say why consult and court the GOP? All they are about is obstruction - "No" seems to be their only answer.
Cheers,
mfaye

Morning all... forgive me if I'm a bit distracted from the goings on in the world. I'm too busy kowtowing to a pushy ad agency owner bitching about why I resized his gargantuan graphics, and trying my best not to call him and shout into the phone BECAUSE YOU CAN'T READ THE INSTRUCTIONS I SENT ON THE DIMENSIONS!
:boom:

Mala,
I signed up, but I'm not sure why. I can barely keep up with my FaceCrack page and the MySpace. I guess I do ocassionally post to the live blog, so that is why I signed up, but as far as I can tell it is just one more "social networking" page to maintain.
:P
Cheers,

Morning all. Slept late - rather, stayed in bed. Having trouble with the whole "sleep" thing these days.

Maybe I'll get some shut-eye at work today. :p
