Now if we could get some lightning up in DC, maybe things would start moving. The media is helping to contribute to this, too, by jumping on hot button issues and dropping them instead of following through. Just some more thoughts from your old stomping grounds. K So true.

Everyone seems to want credit for bringing up the topics but no one actually wants to risk upsetting anything by <i>doing</i> anything. As Mark Twain said, "Thunder is impressive, but lightning gets the work done." K - That’s exactly the problem.

What I agree with is that for too long, government has been playing the game, but not playing to win - whatever they are after. It's like they want to start talking about things, get the press for it, then drop it once people stop looking. Legislative, Executive, and Judicial Branches have let me down. So much so that even I am getting apathetic about the whole thing.

It is the sole reason I have decided not to discuss politics on my blog. I did when I started it back in February. But in March I swore off politics and deleted all my political posts. I am sick of it. Even though I’m not happy about the dems taking control of the senate and the congress, I still agree with you about being sick and tired of government and politics.

I strongly agree with some of what you say, the rest I strongly strongly disagree with. In any case, I wanted to let you know I posted the results of last weeks TT13 the Food Edition. It's up at http://anyapples.blogspot.com/ if you want to take a look. :P Oh boy oh boy. I strongly agree with some of what you say, the rest I strongly strongly disagree with.
