The Gadfly On The Wall
Earthquake: It was just another minor earthquake last night...not Alternative Tulsa finding (quick, which shell is the bean under?) another local conservative conspiracy against Barack Obama.
Good Luck: Senator Kenneth Corn wants to again address the school dropout rate in the state. A worthy goal.
Steady As She Goes: President-elect Obama thus far has avoided any major pitfalls (or pratfalls) in his personnel selections. Even Hillary Clinton's selection as secretary of state has drawn praise from some conservative Republicans. How well she'll perform is another story, and expect complications/controversy from former President Bill. Eric Holder's selection as attorney general will result in (more) controversy down the road.
Speech Therapy: Is it too much to expect that local television station news anchors can speak the language? Most recent: "Betlam" for "Bedlam." Over and over.
Gregorian Chant: NBC has named David Gregory as the new moderator of "Meet The Press" as the permanent replacement for the late Tim Russert.
Good Will: President-elect Obama's approval rating since his election indicates a substantial majority of Americans want him to succeed and wish him well as he becomes our 44th president. Count me among them...thus far. I don't agree with his cabinet selections, but they are his to make and the months ahead will take their measure of his appointments.
Gaddie On The Ballot: Not Dr. Keith, the politico...but his wife, Kim, candidate for the Norman Board of Education.
