There is no doubt there will be a compromise to the sequester question this Friday.  Why?  Even both parties know even the politically docile and uninspired general citizenry won’t put up with the already anemically-performing Congress.  And, let’s be honest...the agreement is all about 2014 mid-terms and not what’s best for the nation.


I mentioned this morning that I am not a partisan voter. I am not registered to a political party.  Because, party politics are at the heart of what politically ails us.
Divisiveness, self-preservation and promotion, winning at all costs, etc...are all a manifestation of divided political parties.  So, why perpetuate that what is our core problem?

The Oscars were a blast last night.  The music.  The humor...okay....the MUSIC!
No real dramatic surprises.  But, I loved Christoph Waltz winning for “Django...”
He is a true talent and what a great choice.  What’s her name fell down on the way up...everybody’s talking about that.  Is it just me, or does Anne Hathaway look a little...weird?  Facially, I mean.  I’m not one to talk, I know, but she just, ummm...anyway....Hugh Jackman can SING!  What a waste to have the Avengers on stage...And who was the guy who didn’t say a word?  I missed the Bond men.  Damn.
But, Shirley Bassie belting out “Goldfinger”...that was a HIGHLIGHT!  Seth McFarlane did a pretty good job...a bit too raunchy, but not as sanctimonious as some of the acceptance speeches.  It’s another year in the can and not too bad, Peter.
