How Sweet It Is!
What a week! First, Tuesday's elections gave me a sense of hope as a life-long lefty who has felt the rightward march in policies and dialog, and the wholesale consumption of Republican talking points by politicians and the talking heads in the Media alike. Thank goodness for the blogosphere to keep me sane. My fellow Americans are now waking up, tired of being lied to about the war, and tired of the rhetoric of fear. Good. There's more we need to do as a nation, but at least for now let us all revel in the restoration of "checks and balances" and hope for some honest give and take between Congress and the White House.
But if that wasn't cool enough, for the first time in well, EVER, my College football team and my favorite Pro team are both having winning seasons. Go big Blue! Go SCARLET KNIGHTS! I just... je ne sais quoi. I can't describe how good this feels. It's amazing to see those young men on the Rutgers football team reap the fruits of their determination and hard work. Props to all of them for the dream come true and especially Coach Shiano for having the dream.
Okay, realistically speaking, as a Rutgers Alum, I haven't always been happy with the Dollars spent of the football program at Rutgers in lieu of budgets cuts elsewhere. But I can't help feeling exhilarated right now! I just can't. I'm told the winning team has been good for business in New Brunswick and that's a positive. So, for now I put my crankiness aside and celebrate the come-back kids!
Whee!
Have a great weekend y'all.
