    Well, I mean I agree .. out of the two party candidates we had, he was the one even I felt most comfortable with as well, albeit 'skeptical comfort' would be a better characterization. I still like his candor and ability to provide an image of transparency to a position that desperately needed it.

    However, this last month and a half have not been impressive in the slightest. Cabinet appointments going awry, the hefty stimulus bill no one read but still voted on, Geitners gaffs, The Dodd Amendment (not that big of a deal but still worthy of some attention), this wounded vet thing seriously blows my mind. Now I read today, which I still don't give much credit to considering the sources, that the administration is working at getting rid of pilots being able to carry guns. There is a little too much egg in the vicinity of faces right now in what should be a somewhat magical honeymoon period, especially for a president who ran with a message of 'hope.' Not that some of this egg wasn't expected due to our current situation. But I would consider some of the eyebrow raises, avoidable. The messages coming from Washington, both sides of the aisle, leave me scratching my head a little more than I thought I would be.

    As far as FOX, I have no clue. About the only person on there I can stomach is Shepard Smith and I actually love his show. However, I couldn't see anyone parading this as a good idea, Bush proposed or not. I think you might be reaching a bit on that one my friend.
