Tonight, I am feeling about as clear as mud.

But, yesterday, we were speaking of politics…..so I will pick it up there.

The politicos vie for power.

Power to make his or her country a better place in which to live.

Power to accomplish things.  
Power to make situations better.

Power to do what is right and equitable for the people of the land….
That is all in theory. Really.

And…. With Power comes Responsibility.

Once again, a great thought. Noble. Virtuous. But theoretical.

Abraham Lincoln once said, “Nearly all men can stand adversity, but if you want to test a man’s character, give him power.”

Wise old Abe.

Joke for the Day….

Q: How many bureaucrats does it take to screw in a light bulb?
A: Two.  One to screw it in and one to screw it up.

Trivia…

Abraham Lincoln, of course, was shot by John Wilkes Booth.  Booth was injured while jumping from the balcony where Lincoln had been sitting.  Dr. Samuel Alexander Mudd treated Booth for his injuries, and was later sentenced to life in prison for doing so.  Hence the origin for the phrase “His name is mud.”

And still tonight… I am feeling about as clear as mud.

Muddling.
