Good news in regard to the #112 Congress. There will be no Kennedy clan member on the roster. Since the late 50s when JFK was first a member of congress there has been a Kennedy clain member either in the House or Senate.
Looks like the Bush-era tax extension will go down to the wire. Christmas eve perhaps? But it will pass.
With Holbrooke's untimely death, it does remove one layer of bueaucracy between the generals in the field and the DOD and DOS. Clinton's was meeting with Holbrook, when he took ill. They were preparing a end of year report on the status of the war in Afghanistan (and Iraq) for PP review. Always seemed strange to me why PP passed out the request for a complete review for end of year report. Maybe it was a flash back? Some professors would appear on the first day of a semester, give an assignment and the student was on his/her own until the report was due at end of semester. Thats a non-resident professor, so to speak. Do we have a non-resident President or one that doesn't like to be distrubed by details, he loves to deligate. Did PP follow that agenda. Seems to me with a war, actually two onging, the Chief Dude's should have his pulse on the absolete status minute by minute, not weeks down the road. Gotta go... wife wants me to go to another Christmas party.
