CURRENT EVENT The first weeks of this month saw a marked change in the political portion of the Way of Life for all of us. Just how the other aspects of our living will be modified - and to what possible extremes - remains to be seen.
The predicted changes of election campaign days will fade a bit and blend with existing regulations with minor modifications which will likely be more cosmetic in nature than structural. The main difference
will be another set of political persons will, at first , receive plaudits and praise for have brought about changes and, then, in time, be on the bad side of criticism.
Essential groundwork which must be undertaken when new owners take over the controls which guide the Ship of State along dangerous courses through oft-troubled political seas. It is not going to be easy for either Democrats or Republicans to always do that which will always please Polosi. The naming of Nancy Polosi as Speaker of the House, I would predict, some interesting circumstance which will offer a diversionary sideshows - plain politi-foggery. Twelve years is a long time be out of intimate touch with those things which actually work. This may well be the initial year of feminine control of House actions. It seems also like a prelude praising or promising the placement of a "Hillery' in a nearby associated round room. To please Polosi could become a pattern; "Go Tell Aunt Nancy!" - could the theme song of a tight operation.
Nothing of any real consequence is likely to take place until the two natural holiday periods of Christmas and of getting our New Year of '07 under way. There are, however, new notes in the back of our minds - the distinct possibilities of natural disaster of some kind hitting us with little of no warning, and you may have noticed we are getting more suggestion that we become aware of the possibility of overt Terrorist acts of violence here at home... any day now.
It is time for us to get busy and get this Washington Re-Do finished and out of our way. It is dangerously obvious that we have more urgent things to get done.
