The Year of Hope
Author: BobR
Date: 12/31/2008 13:27:53
"It was the best of times, it was the worst of times..." So begins "A Tale of Two Cities" by Charles Dickens. It describes countries undergoing revolutions, when the people take their countries back. With the economic meltdown and election, it seems a fitting epitaph for this year.
It was certainly the worst of times for the Republican party this year. They saw their grasp on power slip away in astonishing fashion, as the Democrats nearly took complete control of the Senate, widened their grip in the House, and took the Presidency as well.
Of course, the presidency seemed inevitable. The Republicans had no strong candidate; all were deeply flawed in some respect. I remember thinking "is this the best they can offer?" In true conservative fashion, all the Johnny-come-latelys were quickly jettisoned, and the old familiar face of John McCain remained. Could he do it? The hard-core of his party hated him, but he appealed to moderates...
... That is until he picked Sarah Palin for VP and saw his campaign meltdown. Voters disappointed in Clinton's loss were not going to vote for an arch-conservative just because of gender.
In the end, it was the Republican policies that did them in. It turns out the "October Surprise" was an economic meltdown created by Republican non-interventionist regulatory policies. It was created by the "greed is good" trickle-down mentality that finally convinced conservative/moderate lower-middle-class voters that maybe the Republicans weren't looking out for THEIR best interests after all.
Instead they went with the candidate that represented change and hope, and plans for restoring some semblence of order to the economic chaos that continues to wreak havoc. The Big Story of the year is that a candidate took the high road and won. The Great Unwashed voted for a revolution.
So as we stand on the doorstep of a new year and look back, we must also look forward. The Republicans must decide how to regain their footing, renew confidence with the electorate and retake some power. If two recent stories are any indication, they have not learned the lessons of the past.
As people look to the government for help, as the gap between rich and poor continues to widen, as the jobless rate climbs, the Republican party decides the best thing to do is accuse Bush of Socialism:
Surely those hurting in this economic vortex will feel comforted right?... Republicans can also take note that their leaders have learned the lesson that negative campaigning doesn't work by - ummm - sending out a CD with a song called "Barack the Magic Negro":
It's nice to see the Republicans are focusing on what matters, and in such classy fashion.
Meanwhile, it's less than 3 weeks until the adults are in charge again. Perhaps 2009 should be the year of hope. Here's to a Happy New Year to you all...

As people look to the government for help, as the gap between rich and poor continues to widen, as the jobless rate climbs, the Republican party decides the best thing to do is accuse Bush of Socialism:
Republican Party officials say they will try next month to pass a resolution accusing President Bush and congressional Republican leaders of embracing "socialism," underscoring deep dissension within the party at the end of Mr. Bush's administration.
Those pushing the resolution, which will come before the Republican National Committee at its January meeting, say elected leaders need to be reminded of core principles. They said the RNC must take the dramatic step of wading into policy debates, which traditionally have been left to lawmakers...
Surely those hurting in this economic vortex will feel comforted right?... Republicans can also take note that their leaders have learned the lesson that negative campaigning doesn't work by - ummm - sending out a CD with a song called "Barack the Magic Negro":
A candidate for the Republican National Committee chairmanship said Friday the CD he sent committee members for Christmas -- which included a song titled "Barack the Magic Negro" -- was clearly intended as a joke.
The title of the song about President-elect Barack Obama was drawn from a Los Angeles Times column.
[...]
The CD sent to RNC members, first reported by The Hill on Friday, is titled "We Hate the USA" and also includes songs referencing former presidential candidate John Edwards and the Rev. Jeremiah Wright, among other targets.
According to The Hill, other song titles, some of which were in bold font, were: "John Edwards' Poverty Tour," "Wright place, wrong pastor," "Love Client #9," "Ivory and Ebony" and "The Star Spanglish Banner."
It's nice to see the Republicans are focusing on what matters, and in such classy fashion.
Meanwhile, it's less than 3 weeks until the adults are in charge again. Perhaps 2009 should be the year of hope. Here's to a Happy New Year to you all...

Good morning, bloggers!! Great post, BobR!!
Here in the Valley of the Sun, KPHX 1480 is off the air as is 1190 Nova M Radio. Randi was on when I went to bed, but there was nothing when I got up. I hope that the stations will be on the air soon. (Ironically, this is the last day for 1480 KPHX as the simulcast ends at 12:01 AM Mountain time on January 1st.)
If I hear anything about the Phoenix stations, I will pass it on.

aaaand the retarded city of Waltham has just declared a snow emergency, retroactive to 9:30 am. Which means no on-street parking. All Day.
They did this last time too, and we didn't see a freakin' snowplow around here for 3 FULL DAYS. I'm tempted to leave it there, but I know they tow. Can't miss out on that revenue, you know.

The Nova M Stream is the 1480 KPHX stream, and presumably is scheduled to become the 1190 Nova M stream at 12:01 AM January 1, 2009. Currently, both stations are off the air.
I will pass on any news, but the stations are still off the air.

Yes. For the past few months, there has been a simulcast of the same programs on 1480 and 1190 AM with the plan to move to 1190 AM. (The ownership leased 1480 and the lease was expiring, so they leased the unused 1190 AM signal that went dark in July. (It was a Spanish news station.)) Not sure what is going on.

Amazing what a global recession will do to demand (and $). We're right on the edge of pumping capacity, so a little drop in demand will really drop the price.

That's pretty much it - supply and demand. I heard on NPR that the oil companies have more oil than they know what to do with and are storing it offshore on oil tankers.
Whatever happened to "drill baby, drill!"? :rolleyes:

I just paid $20 for a full tank of hi-test yesterday. I checked the prices on the way in, and it had dropped a penny by the time I headed back out. $1.81 at the Hess in Watertown Square.

I don't either. Keep in mind I had just moved from a school in PA were the teacher was very eco-friendly and didn't believe in harming other living things to a school in NC where the teacher thought it important to poke everything with a sharp stick.
Talk about culture shock. I wasn't happy, with him letting a snake loose to begin with but I can deal with a boa or python of some sort so long as its on the other side of the room in glass case. But yeah a copperhead, he wanted everyone to see what they looked like.

Home! Wheeeee what a time out there.. must be about eight inches already and more to come!
So I was listening to NPR on the way home and they had a doctor on the phone live from Gaza saying that Israel's bombed at least eight mosques claiming that they were Hamas hideouts. The guy also said he feared for his family's lives because the HOUSE (not warehouse, bunker, or anything else) next door to them was bombed to the ground.

Happy New Year everyone!!
I will try to stop by later.
1190 AM is on, but 1480 KPHX is playing music. Not sure what is going on.
I am finally able to stream Pheonix. It says KPHX, I hope that after tonite it will say 1190.
1480 KPHX will play Sinatra and other artists until about January 15th, when a Christian station is supposed to take over. So, 1190 AM is on broadcasting its shows. The new website is
http://www.1190novam.com. Hopefully, there will be no more glitches.
Happy New Year!!

It's down to 18 degrees and falling. I wonder who is nuts enough to be in Times Square tonight.

The wind seems to have kicked up around here. Not going to be a very fun First Night, I'd wager.
At least you get to go indoors and hear some music and see some performances....Times Square you just show up at 6am, get hypothermia, and pee in an alley all day, right?

And when it feels like almost 0 outside, that's how I would want to spend New Year's Eve.

I have gotten my first of a few drunk Dials from the great state of NY.
I love those friends of mine.

Where has Random been lately? There is a Rachel Maddow year-end psuedo-awards thing at 11 otherwise it is a night of catching up on my DVR records.
