Another way-too-fast weekend is over, and it’s back to work again today. There doesn’t appear to be too much new in the world. Republicans seem determined to throw us off the fiscal cliff, and I don’t see where Democrats have much they can do about it. Except completely cave in, raise the Medicare age and cut Social Security, in exchange for, well, basically nothing. Although I don’t especially want my taxes to go up, I think they should just go ahead and let the sequestration go ahead and happen. Maybe then they’ll be willing to actually do something. But I wouldn’t hold my breath. Oh well, time to get ready to get going.
