“It was the best of times…it was the worst of times.”  Baby boomers will remember that line from a book we all had to read in high school.  It almost describes this past week. The far right, fringeelement, racist and crazy wing of the Republican Party has reared its ugly head in a big way this week fighting health care reform. Again they are being made fools of  by racists and corporate whores who have convinced them to work against their own best self interests.  But forget them…let’s talk about what a good week we had.  Unemployment is down and lower than expectations.  The market is up! Ben Laden’s right hand man is dead.  Judge Sotomayor, the first Latina has been elected to the Supreme Court.  The cash for clunkers program which has been extremely successful in jump starting segments of the economy has been extended.  Two Americans have been returned safely from North Korea.  Two more Republicans and quit their political jobs.  All in all I think that’s a pretty good week.
