Mr. Brown Goes To Washington
I was reminded today that it had been Thanksgiving since my last post. Sorry about that. My problem lately has been motivation. Today my motivation is politics, specifically national politics. And since the State of the Union speech is tonight here’s a political cartoon I received today via email:

A LOT has happened since Thanksgiving. And a lot has happened in national politics in just the past week. Can you believe that just one U.S. Senate election in Massachusetts has derailed an entire political party’s agenda?
As I listened to Scott Brown’s acceptance speech I found myself getting excited. Finally, after 2 LONG years I heard someone espousing the same political ideology as me. My favorite line of his speech, in reference to terrorism, was when he said (paraphrased) “I want to make sure we’re spending our money on weapons to eliminate terrorists instead of defending them in court.”
Since Tuesday, January 19, which by the way was the one year anniversary for the current administration, the majority party has fumbled around trying to redefine themselves. It’s almost as if they want to stick their finger in their collective mouths and then hold them up in the air to see which way the wind is blowing.
I hope that our elected officials will finally, as a result of Senator Brown’s election, show us, the electorate, the courtesy of listening to what we have to say rather than continue to snub us and look down their noses at us and tell us they know better than we do what’s good for us. How arrogant and pompous. I’m not sure how long it will last but at least it appears Senator Brown’s election has, at the very least, gotten their attention. Time will tell…
