I have a list of true believer blogs.
These are blogs of people, some conservative and some liberal, who believe that they alone know how to save the nation and the planet. They have very strong beliefs.
He true believers on the right are not happy with our President. They say he is doing what they said he would do and in their eyes that’s bad. This is not a surprise.
What is a surprise is that some of the true believers on the left aren’t happy either because they think the President is failing to do what they elected him to do.
Our President is getting criticized from both left and right.
Now you know why I like the guy.
One of the mistakes George Bush made is he tried very hard to please his “ conservative base”. This skewered his government and hurt Republicans in general . Worse yet it never really satisfied the true believers.
So Far Obama hasn’t chosen to try to please the true believers on the left. Instead he seems to be trying to be what he promised during the campaign a President for all the people. Not an easy task by any reckoning.
I think given the circumstances he has done a good job.
1. He hasn’t even been President for 100 days
2. He has to work with a system corrupted by greed from top to bottom.
3. The economic problems he faces have been years in the making.
4. He is not a magician or a Messiah.
Despite all this he has come to us with well developed plans and a budget.
Will it work?
Only time will tell.
Even if they don’t I like the guy.

News from Pigeon Falls

The little town in my basement where the trains still run, dragons fly, and life is back to normal
Confronted by the reality that the planet contains his arch enemies ,the dragons , Mark has to find a way to keep from being destroyed before he can figure out how to get back to the future. He decides to hide in plain sight and take on the form of a human being. Seeing the milk train coming in he wills himself unto the platform in the station just as all the ghost groupies and other tourists arrive. Nobody notices there is an extra person . He heads , immediately for Nancy’s Coffee Shop. He needs to learn as much as he can about the people of Pigeon Falls to see if there is anybody that could help him.
On entering he feels a strong presence that seems to have no center point but is everywhere. He can not identify it so for the moment he ignores it. Nancy is telling her leprechaun story for the hundred and something time to one of the ghost groupies. Mark listens and decides he has to meet this Tommy UK as he might have enough power to send him home. A short time later , over coffee, he asks Nancy if the town has any other super heroes besides Tommy and she thinks for a bit and then tells him the story of Herman and the demon. He decides he has to meet Herman as well.
Will Mark ever go home? Will he meet Tommy UK and Herman? Will there be a fight? Will the dragons get Mark? Will Tommy UK ever talk to his uncle? These and other annoying questions might be answered tomorrow in the News from Pigeon Falls but then again they might not be.

Wrap UP

Scroll down and see my poems for April 7th. My bedroom computer went down this morning. well the monitor did. It took some time to get it working again. In the afternoon my grandsons started the garage cleaning. They worked hard. We took them Easter shopping when I got as much done as I wanted for the day. Betty's hip is hurting. I visited and left comments at the blogs that left comments yesterday. Now I need a breathing treatment.
