Double tree has computers, but they come out in this really big font and I can’t figure out how to decrease the size. So, I’ll. just. shout. it. out. o. k. ?
When I left Jon and Jen’s last night, Barb was still at the ER at University Hospital. I’m headed over there now to help with housecleaning, so I’ll find out what happened.
There’s a line now at the computers. That’s what comes with socialism, when everything’s free. Or, at least when the cost is hidden. Gal just stood, drinking coffee, looking at me. Passive aggressive.
Read the newspaper this morning about the economy. Bad news. Which is good news for Democrats. Also, an interesting article by somebody named Jonathan Goldberg. He’s an editor of the National Review and author of a book, Liberal Fascism.
His perspective is that conservativism will rise again. He said over and over that Republican does not equal conservatism. The current administration spent like “a pimp with a week to live.” A colorful metaphor. I suspect the gut of his argument is correct, however, and that is that conservatism is a part of the American ethos and will only be challenged by a liberal ascendancy, not obliterated.
We can only hope that first, the ascendancy will happen, and that it will produce affects that have a long shelf life, like Social Security and Medicare. Which do need to get fixed. Amen.
OK. Out for now. See you on the flipside of the bris.
