The more I look -- dispassionately -- at these concomitant issues, I'm starting to feel that the attacks of 9/11 were the catalyst that allowed American faux-machismo to do ourselves in. We've helped to have the chickens come home to roost.
Someone said "you only have to make a fortune once." Well it seems some have taken that maxim to heart, and made a fortune and nothing else of value, and you and I are left holding the bag.

At the end of the day, if you're a partisan, you left feeling better about your guy's VP choice, on both sides. If you're an independent or undecided, you probably leaned left to Biden.

We're going to get royally screwed by this legislation. Giving away authority to spend over $700 billion completely without oversight?!

It's been a long time! But I'm back...And boy, do I have a lot to talk about!
A simple song, with a simple solution to a complex world.
