I am losing patience with the Republicans' obstructive tactics

The Republican attacks on the Stimulus Bill and related initiatives are motivated by a single thought. If the economy fails, they will have a major advantage in the next Presidential election. Thus, in their usual selfish and unpatriotic way, they block everything that might help the economy.
Their argument that they want to reduce the deficit and contain government spending is destroyed by the manner in which they managed to to destroy the surplus that the Bushbaby inherited, and replace it with an enormous deficit.

Le Sacre du Printemps

We went to the ballet this afternoon to see the Joffrey Ballet production of Le Sacre (Stravinsky's great genre shattering ballet), done so as to reproduce the original Ballet Russe production. It was good, but the orchestra was not as exciting as some recordings I have. Still, very interesting.
