BloggeRhythms 3/31/2010

Still getting more feedback by email and phone than from reader's comments regarding the blog, but it's well thought out and constructive, so it really helps.

The weather in my area has stayed the same for several days and has poured an ocean of water upon us. So it's pretty bleak around here and so is the status of my new book. It's not that I'm not getting anywhere at all with publication, because significant progress has been made. It's just that I've been working with repetitive technicalities and production issues which have nothing to do with writing. So, it's been sort of an author's groundhog's day that I wish was over with and gone.

As far as what's in the news goes, there seems to be another wrinkle in the national agenda. From the headlines, the President has apparently decided to allow off-shore drilling for oil and natural gas. And although I haven't seen or heard anything anywhere about Mr. Soros' involvement in this issue yet, my own guess is that he must have made some mega-billion dollar investment in off-shore, underwater properties or rights right here at home. After all, he's already done similarly off the coast of Brazil, and too boot, he did it with our taxpayer's money. So, why shouldn't the administration get a piece of the oil and gas pie?  I can't think of any other reason for their sudden change of heart.

What also strikes me as interesting about the current positions of the present administration as a practical matter, having nothing to do with politics at all, is that they are just about exactly the same, if not even firmer that of their predecessor, except for one. Nothings really changed regarding Iraq, while Afghanistan's escalating somewhat, the economic crisis isn't heading toward any kind of rapid turn around while the financial bailout's compounding debt upon debt in staggering amounts. Aside from that, the rattles of sabres seems to be getting louder each day in regard to Iran.

There are many other issues, to be sure, Korea, Columbian drugs and the safety of our borders, for example, the list goes on and on. Yet, as I wrote above, not much has changed at all. Except for Israel, one of our two strongest allies in the world. While we still seem to be willing to fight for anyone's safety and rights anywhere on the planet, in this case we've more or less told the Israelis to take a hike.

That's it for today folks.

Adios
