HAPPY NEW YEAR!! HOPE YOU CAN AFFORD IT!

Well, I got shoveled and snowblowed out, spread a little ice-melt, so I'm ready for the New Year.

I guess we'll have to see what it brings- I hope you all personally experience a good and prosperous year in 2007. I do have my concerns for our nation however, what with a horde of radical Democrats coming in to power and all, but hey, can they make any bigger mess of things than the Republicans did?

Well, yes and no. We know from past experience they certainly can, and the past profligate spending of our Compassionate-Conservative-in-Chief gives little reason for hope in checking their action. With Budget Hawk Conrad keeping an eye on our checking account, any sign of deficit spending will be met with- what? Budget cuts? Not bloody likely. It's not in the liberal's DNA. You selfish workers will simply have to give more of your ill-gotten gains to the cause of budget balancing. So unless the remnant of Republicans in Congress can garner some discipline in their ranks and stick together on a few key fiscal principles, it's not looking so good on this front.

How about the Mideast thingie-ma-bob? Maybe that will work out okay? Eh, same thing there- no matter what the Equivocater-In-Chief may want to do, He most likely will be met with resistance from those who seek to make political gains, future results be damned. Again, this will most likely be a bi-partisan botch-job, with a majority unable to muster the cajones to stand up to the rest of the America-hating world and do what is right, rather than what is popular. Nukes all around! For everybody! Bummer again.

Well, at least the fishing's been trending up. Looks to be a good winter for it. Oh wait- global warming, thinning ice caps....... Well, looks like I need a drink- see ya later.

Keep smilin'!
