Dizzy; I'm so Dizzy!

Note: this is a blog I wrote before the final vote was taken on the "stimulus package."

The spin is revolving at such a supersonic speed that it runs one after the other into mumbled garbage, justified with the urgent plea to do something now as there is no time left.

What's that old saying: there's never time to do it right, but we always have to make the time to do it over.

Or the other one: act in haste; repent in leisure.

Nancy Pelosi comes across as a bumbling idiot who gives all women a "bad blonde" image: uh, if we, uh, don't act, uh NOW, we're losing 500 million jobs each and every month! Will someone please tell "just do it" Pelosi that the US population is a mere 300 million, and many of us are, uh, still, uh, employed? I can see getting it wrong once, question getting it wrong twice, but anyone strikes out when there's a third time! As a spokesperson for the new administration, she needs to be better informed about the constituency she alleges to represent.

The President came to Washington on what he sees as a mandate for change, but he is walking the same path those who have come before have walked and is stumbling into the same credibility pits they stumbled into. If we don't learn from history, are we doomed to repeat it?

I haven't seen any change, much less change I can believe in.
