:donut: and lurkers. This can be a culturally confusing time to live in Houston. We are wrapping up Mardi Gras and we have Go Texas day on Friday-thus the explanation as to why Mardi Gras beads with chili peppers are popular.

There is one thing though that is not confusing. To paraphrase my dear brother...."Ben may think he is hot shit on a silver platter but he's nothing more than a cold turd in a Dixie cup." As his term winds on and the full ignorance/damage/mess that his predecessor made becomes more apparent-the more the average American realizes he has been screwen. The hold outs may say we are in a recession and golly gee things will get better the last half of 09, but I am of a different mind.

I think we are bouncing at the top of a depression. If, and this is a mighty big if, Obama's first attempt at stimulus succeeds, we might not have such a bad depression. But I think the wrong voices are being listened too. It will take Obama several tries to hit the right mix. But I am optimistic because I do believe he will triumph. I also think he will continue to work with the opposition but it is hard to work with a disorganized opposition.

Well Jimmy's heading back into the fog for now.

Happy hunting and watch out for the bears.
