Just Thinking...

(Sorry about the off-the-ether time, folks! I've been scratching for cash and paying it to buy a motorcycle. It's a mid-life crisis, you know.)

In 2004, a little-known state senator, who had accomplished little as a legislator, running for a U.S. Senate seat he was expected (and did) win handily, electrified a national convention with a keynote speech -- and was elected president four years later.

Newly-minted Sen. Scott Brown HAS accomplished something -- defeated a state-wide, generations-long political juggernaut (almost reminds one of Sarah Palin, huh?) and made Massachusetts a two-party state again -- and won a place in the U.S. Senate. Ironic, isn't it, that he may spell out the term limit of his other-party precursor.

Meanwhile, President Obama and the Obaminations promise not to let Brown's election deter them from their appointed destiny of lurching the American economy and society leftward -- even against most Americans' will! Kinda gives you an idea of how dangerous Jimmy Carter might have been had he KNOWN he was only getting a single term, doesn't it?
