I wasn’t up at the crack of dawn posting furiously along with the rest of the world on the results of yesterday’s election, where the American people voted the Democratic party out of their majority. I really needed to sit and think, without giving a gunshot opinion.
My head is burbling with pre-election jumble, thoughts about healthcare and so much more…so, to start, here is this week’s link to the Blogging Boomers’ Carnival #180, hosted by the always astute, John Agno. Definitely worth a stop over.
Onto the muddled state I find myself in…all thoughts, comments, yeahs or nays welcome. [...] With the same intensity of emotion that I watched America rise up to the challenge of fixing our country’s woes in 2008 by electing in Barack Obama to the presidency, I now watch the 2010 election being reduced to catchy sound bites that have nothing to do with the candidates or their policies.
