Things have been kind of dull here in blogland. Maybe everyone has just run out of things to say and write about and maybe they are busy with the holidays and back to school. Either way, I haven't seen any new posts in the last many days and feel that I have to get things off first base.
Unfortunately, I don't have anything to write about either.
Congress is muddling its way through the Health Care reform mess and it could become quite interesting, like a horse race where the odds keep changing before the run.
The stock market isn't doing anything unless a .4% price change is considered significant. The news media seem to treat these miniscule moves as something to comment on, but as far as I am concerned, it is all "no change."
I did hear a story about a supposed medical advance and have been trying to decide whether this blog is a proper venue for the discussion I have in mind regarding the event but have mainly decided to shelve it for the time being.
Regarding our president, I won't look at pictures of him nor listen to any of his speeches or even his sound bites. I've never felt that way about any other president no matter how much I detested him. After years of climbing out of the currency of New Deal liberalism, it is disheartening to see us fall back into that trap. I am getting older and don't want the dream of a prosperous, free America to slip from my grasp. It will be too long until the trend reverses itself.
To end this post with some relevance to the title, here is a commentary on Jonah and whale, appropriate for this season. The scripture states that a fish swallowed him but it is popularly believed to be a whale. The commentaries point out that it took him 3 days to pray for salvation because things were roomy inside the male fish that swallowed him. So, after 2 days and some time, the original fish, transferred him to a pregnant female fish and things got a bit cramped so he started praying. The only fish I know of that carries live offspring is a whale. It also survives on oxygen from the air.
