WITH soaring unemployment, public debt, and ugly international conflicts, President-elect Obama may have to crash through a number of brick walls to turn the country around. His situation reminds me of something that President Kennedy said when he described his biggest surprise after he entered the Oval Office: "When we got into office the thing that surprised me the most was that things were as bad as we'd been saying they were."
HEY, TAKE a breath! A little more than a month since the presidential election, the pollsters are working overtime to give us a glimpse of where the next campaign will take us. CNN says its poll of Republicans and Independents show Mike Huckabee leading the GOP field with 34 pct. followed by Sarah Palin at 32 pct. Since this is all gross nonsense at this point, it would be interesting to see where these two "frontrunners" would wind up in the next poll if Warren Harding were added to the list.
HOLIDAY SHOPPING, 2008. I came across a plastic medalli0n that read "American Hero, U.S. Air Force."...Yep. Made in China.
BROWN(ie)S POINTS: The Sunday Plain Dealer excessively devoted most of its front page and acres of space inside the paper to the question: "What's Wrong with the Browns?" Obviously it was an attempt to lighten up the reader with some bright hometown news amid the really serious stuff eating at all of us these days. I don't claim to be a deep thinker about that team by the lake, which qualifies me as much as anybody else to analyze the Browns' annual sickly status. It's called the Modell Curse. Trust me. Since Art moved the franchise from Cleveland, his Baltimore Ravens have won one Super Bowl, which puts him one-up over the Browns. By the way, the Browns lost against today.
