Just read this editorial comment and cartoon from the New York Post and thought it bared repeating here.  Quite to the point:

Don't look now
Yes, I succumbed to temptation and mentioned George W. Bush in a post yesterday. Some commenters seem to think it bad form for a liberal to 'look backwards', apparently considering looking backwards to be their special zone of operations. They blissfully inhabit a butterfly-filled historic meadow of founding fathers, Ronald Reagan, who any day now will BE a founding father in their minds, and an imagined version of the Constitution (I'm not absolutely certain that Christine O'Donnell has actually read it) of crystalline simplicity.
If you close your eyes, like they do, you can picture them bounding (backwards) through that meadow, which exists without memory of Native Americans, slavery, the Great Depression, legally mandated segregation, the working conditions that gave rise to unions, or any of the other factors that actually shaped the America they think is the one they used to live in before liberals made everything so complicated.
So George W. Bush's visage of belligerent perplexity is currently airbrushed out of the special collector's edition commemorative display plate version of the past, because... well, because not only was he a blistering embarrassment to the conservative movement, but because his policies are the exact ones they want to vote back into office two weeks from now. --Tom Toles

Still catching up

I still have not had time to move over the blog notes from the old blog, but hope to do so soon.
I should have lots to say regarding the upcoming Nov. 2nd elections.  Much to note, much to read, much to consider.  While President Obama has been slow to implement some of his promises (some not at all yet), he has accomplished a lot. 
I guess its just a matter of priorities and where yours are.  He has accomplished much in health care reform, but thanks to the "loyal" opposition, and his less than loyal Dems, he has even more yet to achieve.  Basically, this November's election amounts to either 1) continuing the hope and move forward, or 2) stopping the hope and going back to the very policies that put us in this horrible recession and political/war quagmire we have found ourselves in since 2007 and earlier.
More on that later. . .

Interim

The week's almost over.  This weekend, besides the lawn and the picket fence, I plan to copy several blog posts over from my myspace blogs to here.  I'll try to keep them chronological, and dated if possible.

Thanks to those of you who've been so kind and have already become followers of this blog.
I'm eager to not disappoint.
