Now Hear This!

The rooster is crowing…a little early? Perhaps he has a better view of the eastern sky than I do. He lives on the other side of the orchard, maybe 600’ away, but I can hear him quite clearly. And it sounds as if he is quite serious this morning. Wake up!

Most of the news this morning is about (Surprise!) illegal immigration. Now it appears that the Rebumblecans are a house divided. This is going to be a most interesting time for those of us who love to watch politicians stumbling about from firm position to another firm position as they do their best to stay in office. Integrity? Wherefore art thou?

The first big travel weekend of the year is approaching and from what I’ve read, a lot of people are going to travel despite the increased costs of fuel. As they are driving from gas station to gas station, they should remember these immortal words from Mr. Bush, “I would work with our friends in OPEC to convince them to open up the spigot, to increase the supply. Use the capital that my administration will earn, with the Kuwaitis or the Saudis, and convince them to open up the spigot.” That was presidential candidate Bush in the year 2000, describing how he would lower gas prices if he were elected. OK, I think we’re ready…let’er rip!
