CARPE DIEM

We watched this inauguration and O, for one, was filled with pride.  The whole day was nicely orchestrated.  The speeches were good and raised hope.  There was no whining in them.  At one point in the day, after watching people with their right hands across their heart, something no longer seen at most ball games, when the Pledge of Allegiance to the flag is spoken, or when the Star Spangled Banner is sung.

The feelings engendered in me, having been missing within for many years, was once again the feeling of pride and unity with the people of my country such has not been experienced within since WWII.  Admittedly, it will be short lived as the Congress convenes again tomorrow and the secessionists and the haters and obstructionists will re-emerge from their caves to sit pontificating their nonsense and demonstrating their lack of qualifications to hold their office in Congress.

In the real world, jobs today offer few perks and hardly offer life support and perks for those who work, for themselves and all family members.  I will reiterate that jobs require an evaluation of performance and whether goals have been met (after defining them in the last evaluation) and the employment continues on the contingent that those goals will be met until the next evaluation in a few months.  This is not true of the Congress because so many do not live in a real world.  This Congress, with its low poll ratings, deserves more than just censure for their poor job performance  Some of them deserve to be impeached, for the pain and suffering their heartlessness has inflicted on hard working American families and those families frustratingly seeking employment..

Meanwhile, does anyone know what the ready and armed militias is doing and planning?
