What’s On Your Mind?

The scene at our house yesterday was falling snow.
Today, while driving home from my favorite bakery, the pair of Bald Eagles I’ve seen flying nearby finally landed where I could spy them surveying their territory. As regulars know, my affinity for birds made this moment an early Christmas gift, a special moment when when serendipity meets a beautiful Sunday morn.
But the point of writing this morning is to ask the question posed in the title.
Specifically, I’d like to hear from all of you, no matter you political party; what are your thoughts right now on politics, what’s bothering you the most, and in your opinion, where do things right now? Contact me via email or…

If you can spare a Christmas card, I love receiving them! Seriously, it would be a special treat for me after all of these years on the web, starting back in 1996, writing on the web long before the platform of blogging was born. Christmas cards are just so beautiful, sometimes hilarious, but always a gift unto themselves.
It’s Christmas tree day at our house, my favorite day of any year.
UPDATE: Thanks for sharing what’s on your mind. Here’s one email on the subject (some minor editing, with content verbatim):
I read your blog and I enjoy the insights you bring. I am an RN in Little Rock AR. I am Irish and became a US citizen (along with my English husband who is also and RN ) in 1992 in order to vote for Bill Clinton, this was what first sparked my interest in politics as it was then a very local issue here with all the Clinton buzz.
I think the biggest issues facing USA are the same old ones that we faced in the past… huge conglomerates co opt smaller ones and become powerful, then they change the rules so that they can make more money and pay less taxes and the middle and working classes are left carrying the burden …. its happened with the Banks, the Insurance Companies, Wall Street, Wal Mart, the Tele companies, the Media, result, a few lone voices crying in the wilderness, ie the blogs, who have no power to change anything , and our little votes mean very little against the sea of lobbyists! What to do? I like the idea of full court press on Open Left…. [...]
The powers of course like it when we fight over cultural issues, Sarah Palin, Rush, Hannity, immigration that keeps us busy and worked up while they rob us blind. thanks for all you do ….
