Quick note on todays events.

Listened to more and more 'spew' today on the happenings in the District of Criminals. To be honest, it makes me a bit on the sick side hearing this stuff. Yeah, we got a bunch of new blood in the mix. Yeah, many incumbents were left on the wayside in the process. Yeah, they are reading the Constitution in its entirety on the House floor. Yeah, Boehner is making a lot of the right noises.

Will it change anything. Hopefully yes. I ain't gonna hold my breath on it though. The Gaurdians of Liberty are heading towards the Hill: Maybe, just Maybe, the thought of being under a microscope will enhance the forward movement towards a smaller more financially responsible .GOV. I guess only time will tell.

One thing that I mentioned above rankles my fur a bit though. The reading of the Constitution. This may be a valid attempt at something good. Then again, it may only be a positive smoke screen. The problem being similar to that of the bible. Many read it, few study it, fewer still understand it, and no matter how you look at it, it is wide open to interpretation. Granted, the Constitution is a much shorter document and the wording is quite implicit. Time had changed the meaning of those words to some extent, leaving misinterpretation a common problem. The fact that few actually understand the original intent within those words has allowed us to get to the point where we are today(that and years and years of apathy within the common people that are supposed to protect that document from abuse.) Fortunately, there is little 'lost in translation' as with the bible. (How many different languages and dialects was it written in, then translated with personal bias from those translators? Only way to know would be to go back in time and witness it in person.)

It's still early on in the game. We have control of only one house and if that one house has a chance, now is it. I will watch further to see just how effective some of the Speaker Boehner does, how much of his ideas are actually put to use and/or how much of it is just smoke up our butts.

One good note though, PELOSI IS OUT OF THE SEAT OF POWER. Thank GOD for that small miracle.
