The sun rose this morning
The sun rose yesterday morning on what promised to be a beautiful day, as it was. So after reading the newspapers, I unplugged the rest of the day. I was tired from staying up the night before, so I went to bed rather early, after watching "Dancing with the Stars" of course!
The sun will soon be rising again this morning on what should be another classic Indian summer day. Hopefully I can get out for a walk this afternoon.
It's time to plug in again, so I'll begin listening to the transcribed post mortems of Laura Ingraham, Rush Limbaugh, Bill O'Reilly, Hugh Hewitt, Jason Lewis, Joe Soucheray, Michael Medved, Bill Bennett, and Dennis Prager from yesterday.
Catching up on the blogs this morning, I expected Götterdämmerung but found most surprisingly upbeat. Nobody is confused as to why we lost, and lost big. Maybe there were exceptions like our U.S. Senate race, where the media took such a strong hand. But even here, I suspect they merely turned a small loss into a big loss.
It's like weighing in at Weight Watchers each week. Often, you worry about what the scale will say. Sometimes, you don't like what it does say. But at least you know where you stand. You make your plans and adjustments accordingly, and look forward to the next weigh-in.
