8:14a	Politics, and a question... Suppose it's January 2008, and you yourself have been elected President of the United States of America in a reasonably fair election, and it's your first day at work in that job. Suppose you've had your breakfast, and a shower, and you've brushed your teeth and made yourself presentable. Suppose -- if you're someone who prays or meditates or jogs or follows some other morning regime -- you've done that. You're ready to start your day. Then I have a question: Then what? What would you do first? ================== Nonfiction online: "How Verbal Self-Defense Works" at http://people.howstuffworks.com/vsd.htm ; "Why Are Old Women Older Than Old Men And How Can We Fix That?" at http://www.seniorwomen.com/articles/articlesElginOld.html ; Religious Language Newsletter archive at http://www.forlovingkindness.org .

1:04p	Politics, and a question; afternote... Thanks to redaxe for the comment saying: "First, I'd check my calendar in hopes it would be January 2009 (I know that's a minor error; still...)" It should for sure be 2009, not 2008. I wish I could blame the error on wishful thinking; I can't. It's just my infamous math-numbness flaring up again. Thanks also to all of you who have grown so accustomed to my making that particular error [and other errors of the same primitive kind] that you've given up all hope. This is at least the third time I've done a post where I had the U.S. presidency starting in the wrong year. Thank goodness I learned to spell and jump rope, making my years spent in grade school not a total waste... (5 Comments | Comment on this)
