Spam: I wouldn't say it balances it all, but...
Good thing? About half an hour after Babe tromped off in a toddlerish huff, he noticed the plate of goodies I made for him (partly as a peace offering): green bell pepper slices, cucumber slices and two halves of one "ants on a log" (almond butter on celery with raisins on top). His response? "AAAAAWWWWWWW YUM! Thanks, Mom!"
Also good (though of a much lower order)? There are signs that Dems are finally using that thing called strategy. News just came out that TARP - you know, that big, evil, expensive government take-over thing - that its actual cost was a whole $30 billion. Not $700 billion.
Yep. Real end of the world's capitalism program that was.
I still disagree with it on principle (DOWN WITH MEGA-CORPORATIONS!), but at least the Dems can honestly (not that that matters in politics) say that TARP isn't the reason we're so broke.
