News of the Day
So, I haven’t blogged about politics since the election, so here goes.
So, according to CNN, everyone is celebratory about the Obama victory except for Catholics and white supremacists. Those guys spoil all the fun. Personally, I’m counting on America to be just as fickle as it has been in the last year or so, with granting the most recent, democrat-led session of congress a lower approval rating than the late George W. One man never has all the answers, and you’ll never find a savior on capitol hill.
In the meantime, per his 60 minutes interview, Obama has committed to have “at least one” republican in his cabinet. Beyond that, he said that the interviewer “wouldn’t get anything else out of me.” Post-partisan indeed.
Most people my age haven’t felt the affects of a recession since they’ve had their first job at 16. Here in Houston, we’re still weighing what all of this means. A month ago, we thought we were immune. But in the past two weeks, I’ve had two friends get laid off.
Washington is looking at who to bail out next. What else is new?
A sleu of Hollywood homes are burning in Cali wildfires (seriously, this is TWO of the top five stories right now…not one, but TWO). Christopher Lloyd’s house burned down. I’m trying to think of a good ‘Back to the Future’ joke right now, but I’ve got nothing.
