No kiddin’ it’s gonna happen tonight? The President is going to *reveal* the State of the
Well… there shouldn’t be – according to the prognosticators (whose record of accurate predictions haven’t quite matched those of the professional weather people). I guess we’ll just have to wait and count the numbers of time they jump up and down and applaud.
Do you think Mrs. Pelosi will be upset at not being able to sit up on the top floor with V.P. Biden? I mean it IS a come down. And the former Speaker doesn’t impress me as someone who ‘cotton’s’ to a ‘come down.’ But we’ll wait and see. I’m sure the TV cameras will catch any hint of dissatisfaction.
Well… the House has voted to repeal the Obamacare mighty 2000+ page law. I haven’t heard anyone own up to reading the whole thing yet… maybe it’ll make a new record in the Guinness book of world records as the most famous 2300 pages or so that everyone knows about, but nobody’s read. Oh well… I guess there would be several phone book listings that might compete on that score.
One thing that has happened thus far is – all the fussing going on under the Capitol Dome has sort of shoved into the background so far – talk about Ground Hog Day. I would guess Puxatawny Phil will be working up a head of ‘groundhog steam’ if they keep ignoring him like this. It isn’t a good omen.
OK – tomorrow’s another day – and we’ll have lots to talk about during our brief get together over at Earl ‘n’ Lester’s Bait Shop and Sushi Bar on the Caroliner Line… Seems like the season’s been a bit slow this year. But I asked my barber… who’s a more than just casual fishing enthusiast, if it was slow out there on the lakes? He said it has reduced the number of crazy boat drivers who seem to think docks and other obstacles will just get out of their way if they make enough noise and go fast enough. But I don’t think it works that way.
Anyway… for all those frost-bit fishermen… send us an e-mail so we’ll know who’s ahead in the fishin’ race this year. We’ll read it to Puxatawny Phil when he comes out next week or so.
Cordially Everybody! IN HIM

“JUST A MINUTE”
EVERYBODY GOT TO TAKE A LOOK AROUND
Just a Minute: - Peggy Noonan – revered speech writer for “The Gipper” – lost her “mojo” on Republican political opinion somewhere after George W. Bush began his second term -- and has never quite regained her well-tuned balance. Over the weekend she attempted to advise concerning tonight’s State of the Union message – and gotten lost in the rhetorical jungle.
Ms. Noonan – who has a gift for the well turned phrase – has never quite shucked the atmosphere of her original network boss, CBS’s fallen anchor star, Dan Rather. Certain quirks still linger. I suppose it happens to all.
She’s right in noting the… [Quote] “big thing the President has going for him now, is he was chastened in 2010. … Americans know their presidents have extraordinary power, and so enjoy reminding them who's boss. In the 2010 election they did just that.”
I’ve been through a winning Senatorial campaign where my candidate’s opponent could not shut-up about gun control. That opponent lost. Mr. Obama most likely will do the same – just read the responses.
