Pridebone connected to the fallbone

Although not very religious, I often find that the Vecchio Testamento says things best, like better a dry crust in peace, etc.

"Pride goeth before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall."

The left is just swelling with pride, kvelling even, amid its new powers. Past precedent be damned! Have these people ever heard of all the old sayings, saws, proverbs, cliches and cautionary tales about ....um.... well.... sorry, "putting the cart before the horse"? Jesus h.

It's just unbelievable the giant, hubrisy, sucking sound that's been gurgling since the swearing in of Obama. I mean, does anyone think that this can all last? This national feeling of euphoria over the election of some guy? I mean, doesn't it feel to anyone else like Obama is the political version of Madoff? Promise, promise and promise but who knows what there will be when people want to start cashing in there good feeling chits from some tangibles?

I suppose it'll be some time before things start to crumble and settle into their usual place, i.e., politics is ugly and compromising is commonplace; people get hurt, promises get broken. And when people get to see this latest sausage recipe, the Obama 100% Pure Sausage, Pork and Childish Things Free, perhaps they'll come to their senses.

For now though, it's all bunnies, unicorns, fairies and "I pledge to Obama."
