A new beginning...

Tomorrow will start another new beginning for our nation.

This one's got a hole to dig out of. He will be scrutinized from now through the ages. There is enough coverage on the TV to occupy more than your wakening hours. The dollars going into the parties are sure to "boost" something if not the economy. It is a spectacle for sure; am I sucked in? You betcha ya; DVR is set to record the affair since it starts at 3 AM Alaska time.

Do I agree with our country spending millions of dollars to throw a party when there are millions who can't afford even a cupcake for a birthday celebration in a cardboard box? Seriously! Does anyone remember that today we were suppose to observe the memory of MLK, Jr and his attitude of service? It is not just a day; it is not just a beginning; it should be a way of life.
