I'm Catching Up With the "With Its"

What's Cooler than contemporary twist on timeless Truth?



The internet has so impacted everything, that despair over the economy is "beneath my paygrade." That's the only thing the "Government can do for me: Hire somebody to fret about that for me, would you?" All those Economic Advisors, Czars and lame ducks: "It's still the Economy, Stupid." Google It - then get out in the streets of Main Street, USA and try to figure out what's happening? Then, get online, do something like book a flight (yourself - no travel agent, no secretary) order gifts and send invitations, announcements, find friends and zero in on a satellite view of your destination prior to setting out with your GPS. Make a payment and KNOW it was received, check your bank balance, look at the weather map, price the new appliance you need to buy and "design" your new car, order it and arrange the financing... What's "happening" is infinitely beyond our ability to assess.

Long live the new Democratic Party: wise and wary, we go forward with a new understanding of how all of us came to find ourselves under this big tent together. In our DNA lurks the common gene (blue) with insistence on Open. We can't play @ Politics so obsessively without the inevitable discoveries. A teachable moment for one is a paradigm shift for another brought about by a quiet epiphany. We arrive at the year's end, wrapping it up. Let's toast, laugh and enjoy our lives. Approaching the "manger" from such new-fangled angles doesn't change the message of Christmas: Peace on Earth, Good Will towards Men."

Logging on and layering over the tracks permit new opportunities worth pursuit once we observe this special time that comes at the end of each frenetic year. Before we do that, we want to take a gander at the scheduled lunar eclipse tomorrow morning. The Winter Solstice - notorious stand-alone December Calendar item, has graciously yielded its shadow to provide penumbra to Full Moon. Aquarians know to collect data for study, dissection and otherwise absorbing speculation for the next 94 years until they are scheduled to meet again.
