The Winds of Change are blowing


Yesterday was a day of hope, and we need a lot. As the Kadizzles travel the tales of economic woe are everywhere. In Evergreen we heard of the well to do losing their fancy mountain homes. On the road you don't see many people traveling. In Cottowood the stores up and down the street are shuttered and for lease. Homes are for sale everywhere with no buyers. Obama has been left a mess that Heracles could not clean up. The next year will be interesting. The economy is so fragile if it does not break it will be amazing. People have to cut back, and that is the worst scenario to get things going. It is a no win situation. However, the country is going to have a reality check like never before, and that may be a blessing in disguise. So perhaps we can thank Bush for knocking us senseless, we now have awoken to a new world where the old Republican lies don't work anymore. If that sorrowful man did one thing, he thoroughly broke the illusion. Bush has put us on the road to realization that we cannot have a functioning country where a very small percentage prosper at the cost of so many. If his legacy is that he shook us out of a stupor of ignorance and delusion, then let that be over the door of his presidential library, which I suggest should be a two holer with no other book than a Sears catalog.
