Tuesday Burnt Toast and Coffee Time

Can the people on TV scrape their bellies any closer to the ground? They are licking the very concrete that Obama walks on. Truman, Eisenhower, Kennedy, Johnson, Nixon, Ford, Carter, Reagan, Bush I, Clinton, Bush II, Obama, this is my 12th President. Look, I’m willing to give the guy a chance, but you have to stop this unseemly fawning. Jeebus.

Hosanna Heysanna Sanna Sanna Ho
Sanna Hey Sanna Ho Sanna
Hey O B, O B won’t you smile at me?
Sanna Ho Sanna Hey Superstar

I guess that makes me Caiaphas:

Tell the rabble to be quiet
We anticipate a riot
This common crowd
Is much too loud
Tell the mob who sing your song
That they are fools and they are wrong
They are a curse
They should disperse.

At least tomorrow we can get back to normal, except that Obama Normal will be just perfect.

• Waukesha has a plan to tear down the vacant YWCA and replace it owner-occupied housing which no one get get a loan to buy.
• The city will want me to mark each leaf with your address so they can tell if those are my leaves in their street. People are strange.
• A new redevelopment plan for downtown. I hope it’s as successful as the last one.
• A former Common Council leader has passed away.
• Independent book sellers are sad to see Schwartz go out of business. I’m glad there’s a plan to keep a book store on Downer Avenue. That’s a neighborhood which should have bookstore.
• This is a curious story. A woman found mostly frozen in a used car lot.
• The Freeman applauds the decision to hold high school basketball games this past weekend despite the weather closing the schools. By all reports, the malls and movie theatres were packed on Friday. Don’t close the schools when it’s cold out, the students think you’re fools.
