TWO days in a row the skies OPENED UP ON ME when I was loading the car at the store and while picking up today's luncheon order. SOAKED TO THE BONE two days in a row!! THAT'S WHAT I GET FOR POSTING "THE SKY IS FALLING!!" yesterday! It truly felt like it was today at 12:30....

Plus.... what WI did and is doing to employees and what other States/local governments are doing to teachers and other workers...yet the legislature and Governors still getting their high wages, perks, per diems and vacation/retirement/benefit packages. I lived through what Ed Rendell did to PA employees.... I complained then, but know in my heart that other people have it much worse and our Nation as a whole is in a Crisis that will not be easy to overcome. It pisses me off that much of our Crisis is "self-inflicted" by those we vote into office.

You will hardly ever hear me talk politics.... Being a Legislative Analyst and working for Health Care and Human Services and the Department of Public Welfare; I get burned out on politics and red-tape, as well as "red-folders" containing House and Senate Bills (I NEVER got paid near as much as the Legislators/Law Makers that would draft/write those awful Bills....but I sure did CLEAN UP AFTER them many times)..... But my inner self remains very passionate about many political things; sometimes I just don't have the right words to express those passions. .......I guess that's one reason being a Legislative Analyst pissed me off.... I'd get pissed when *I* as an Agency Employee had to draft an Analysis as "Support" or "This Agency Does Not Support" or "This Agency Remains Neutral" or "Support With Amendments Only" on a Bill that clearly went against my better judgment.
