Notes from Ferdy - Living in a Time Warp

by Ferdinand T Cat

Over the weekend, we received an EMAIL from Matt Kassens of St. Blogustine. Matt and his blogging partner Kevin Gleeson have designed a new bumper sticker which features the old liberal line about dissent being the highest form of patriotism along with the NObama logo. The theory is to subtly annoy Democrats by reminding them that their version of bipartisanship is a one-way street.

This got me thinking about the plans to create a new national holiday honoring Barack Obama. The guy hasn't done anything yet, and already he's a great hero. It's like we're living in a time warp. We're all evaluating the Obama presidency before it happens.

That's a dangerous practice. If you have somebody like John McCain about to sit in the Oval Office, you can make a pretty good educated guess about what he's going to do because he's been around for decades and you know how he operates. But with Obama, all we really know is that he's in favor of change, and there's evidence he's getting less specific about the changes now that's he been officially elected.

I have a different viewpoint. I live in Illinois, the state where Barack Obama learned how to play politics. Here in Illinois, we have a completely Democrat executive branch and a completely Democrat assembly, and they can't agree on anything with real substance in it. I have no idea what's going to happen in the next four years, except that we sure as heck aren't going to feel unified when it's over.

In the meantime, check out the new bumper sticker and have some fun with it.

Respectfully submitted,

Ferdinand T. Cat

Alright! I was waiting for something like this to come out!

Personally, I can't wait for the "Don't blame me, I voted Republican" stickers to come out. On the one hand, I'd like it if Obama didn't screw up enough to merit one of those stickers, but on the other hand, as Joe Biden has already pointed out, something bad's liable to happen when Barack is in office, so some bumper sticker payback for the last 8 years would be a minor consolation.
