Again, it's been months that have gotten away from me. I do think, though, that much of the news remains the same more or less in degrees.

Cain's left the presidential race and Newty's ahead. I welcome him against Prez. Obama. If Romney gets the nod from the GOP I think it'll be slightly more difficult for Obama. Romney's frequent flips and flops, however do not ingratiate himself to the party. Either way, with either candidate, I still predict Obama will wipe the floor with them.

Unemployment is at 8.6% signaling a slight upswing in jobs. The media interprets that in a sundry different ways. I prefer to enjoy the small victories. If Black Friday is any indication of the economy coming back I don't know what is. Though it is sad that so many situations were dangerous from some shoppers. It shows that we are maybe too materialistic.

Occupy Wall Street continues to be in the news finding itself a voice and a purpose. Too many are angry and too many are jobless and depressed. This is what happens when people are out of work and the chasms exist between the very few rich and the majority of middle and poor people. It's a reason for revolution. Very dangerous that many in the GOP dismiss the 99%.

As a Liberal and a union supporter, I'm excited watching Wisconsin's attempt to recall Gov. Walker. Now, there's arrogance if I've ever seen it. Walker is typical of some of the GOP who see their rise to power and a mandate of the people. Walker never said he'd cut collective bargaining and union busting. Now, he's in for it!

It's a very dangerous time throughout the world. The Middle East is rising into democracies and God knows what else, and in the U.S. the 99% remind the lawmakers to do something about inequities, and jobs, and punishment of the banks that brought us to this point. It's dangerous what's happening in the streets from the police in several cities, yet the only means to bring about change is to protest, in some situations. This is a time for it!
