Labor Day

On Holidays the morning work traffic is very slow and the commuter bus does purr and rev its engine outside my window. An uninterrupted night’s sleep definitely starts the day on the right foot.

The news of the day is that Bush is making a surprise visit to Iraq. How sad that the man has no idea what a mess he has made. More evidence of his bad choices is reported in a new book on the White House Insiders. The next president will be handed the worst mess to straighten out in modern history. Our country is in peril in so many ways from terrorists, people around the world hate us so, our reputation as a country of integrity is down the toilet, our citizens of all ages as well as newborns are dying at high rates than anywhere else in progressive countries.

Meanwhile, people are trying to enjoy this last great holiday of the Northeast before the start of the Fall season, children back to school, leaves to be raked, gutters to be cleaned, preparations to be made to heat their homes and shovel winter snow. Utility and gasoline prices are higher than ever, More politicians than ever are unusually entrenched in self-service, not in representing ‘the people’.
