Stimulus

Today reading the New York Times and shaking my head at every page turn due to the constant reminders that America's new President Barack Obama has a "grand strategy" for America's ever decreasing fiscal stability.

There have been mentions of another address to congress by the President about this fantastic stimulus plan. But I just can't help, no matter how socially unacceptable it may be picture President Obama when addressing the nation not as political icon. but as a proverbial Santa Claus, The tune, "here comes Santa Claus", inevitablely follows. The lyrics that find there way to my stimulus carol go something like this, " here comes socialism, here comes socialism, right down Pennsylvania Avenue." I was never much of a rhymer, I think poetry is the only class I failed in high school but I felt the content grasped the emotion of the situation. The humming of Christmas carols in February attracts the looks of many as I walk down the hollowed halls of higher education. And with the Obama stickers I see plastered all over the backs of laptops. I doubt this is the audience in which I should make my vocal debue. I guess I will just have to be satisfied with side glances for my intrusive humming and blogger fame.

That's it for the rock stylings of peri-peri
