A Wednesday Do-over? By Geniusofdespair

With the Supreme Court decision still lingering and condition in Haiti a nightmare, I read the Miami Herald this morning. They reported that coral in the Keys takes a lethal hit. Rubio is leading Crist in the polls. FP&L projects raise their ugly head...again. Public money for privately owned Land Shark Stadium upgrades is gaining traction at the State Level and County Commission. Ron Book, as lobbyist for the Dolphins, wants to raise taxes on tourists. Mayor Alvarez says no but he is not beholden to Book and Barreto like most of the County Commissioners and State Legislators.

I am going back to bed.

The sun is shining. It's a beautiful day. At least you didn't wake up in:
1. Haiti
2. Afghanistan
3. Dallas living next door to Bush
4. Congo
5. Anywhere with 6 feet of snow
6. Vancouver with no snow and the winter Olympics coming.

Yes, I get depressed as well. We were so close to a public option, now I believe I will never see it in my lifetime unless I move to a more civilized country. It is true, though, that compared to most of the world's population, to be living as a white man in the United States is like winning some weird lottery. With billions of people in this world, you are living an elitist live style, and only because of dumb luck. We all are.

Go take a walk. You'll feel better.

I agree about the ipad. If it is going to be that large, I want a better key pad.
