Compared To What

Well, another day that got run off the tracks.

Things got jammed up on the homefront and threw everything out-of-schedule, including my writing time, especially with so much going on.

So, we'll be back tomorrow, with a few good things, including our Ignorant Dolt of the Week.

I do want to point out the major, ass-kicking move by President-Elect Obama today.

In his weekly YouTube Chat, he laid out a gigantic, public works program, New Dealesque in scope, something the NYT said would "create the largest public works construction program since the inception of the interstate highway system a half century ago as he seeks to put together a plan to resuscitate the reeling economy."

Dennis, at No More Mister Nice Blog put it this way;

Obama name-checked Eisenhower, but somewhere in the afterlife, FDR is smiling. This is a slap in the face to thirty years of Reaganites -- a rejection of the notion that all good things come from the profit motive and the private sector. And it's pitched as a response to the economic crisis, but we know some of it was on Obama's mind all along. (And this country, old and worn down in a lot of places, needs it and will benefit from it.)

Here's the speech transcript; President-elect Barack Obama lays out key parts of Economic Recovery Plan

You can watch it here; Your Weekly Address from the President-Elect: December 6, 2008

This was a "In Your Face", to the do-nothing Congress, and, in particular, to The Bush Grindhouse, as Obama, all but called them out on this.

If he were to sing it, it might be something like this
