Okay, I haven't talked about political stuff on here for a while, so I fear that I'm a bit behind. That said, I'll attempt to backtrack and discuss some of the major issues o' the day. One of the biggest stories was the election of GOPer Scott Brown to the Massachusetts Senate seat formerly held by Ted Kennedy. The bottom line, imho, is this: Mr. Brown seems like a decent guy (although I agree that his, um, public endorsement of his daughters' availability to young male voters was mildly creepy) and that he will do what's best for the Bay State, as well as the rest of the country, particularly in regards to jobs and the health-care bill.
Speaking of the health-care bill, which Ted Kennedy helped spearhead, President Obama and Congressional Dems are considering a pared-down version of it in order to get the thing passed. Last week, the president let Congress know who's boss by telling legislators from both parties that there may be parts of the bill that they don't like, but they'll just have to compromise and accept a few of the more controversial aspects of universal health-care reform legislation in exchange for the greater good of the nation. Good for Obama-- Abe would be proud! Perhaps we'll have a little progress in this country yet.
Well, that's all I can think of in terms of political analysis,discussion, and ranting atm. I'll return tomorrow for another round. Stay tuned!
