Congress Deadlocked On Bill To Authorize Sunrise

In a statement released today by House member Barney Frank, he said, "In light of the current economic crisis, it is simply unfair for us to authorize tomorrow morning's sunrise. If congress doesn't act immediately to pass the financial bailout bill, the sunlight of liberty and freedom will cease to be a reality for millions of Americans. They will be thrust into the darkness and despair of economic midnight, losing jobs and homes; losing futures. To simply allow the sun to rise, as though everything was okay, would be a cruel hoax."

In response to this, Republican Jim Dement said, "If we don't allow the sun to rise, will be sending the wrong signal to our country in a time of crisis. We will be admitting defeat, throwing in the towel. We simply can't do that. We've been through hard times before, and have always come out of it, we've come back stronger. And tomorrow's sunrise will be a testament to that.

The White House also weighed in on the subject, saying, "Let'er rip, boys."

This is so goofy. My daughter decided she wants her own blog. Not being one who is content with being shown up by my own kid, I thought I had better start my own, too. So, I proceeded to attempt the setup of my own. To my dismay, I saw the username I wanted (elderfelder) was already taken.

Now, there aren't too many people out there who go by the moniker "Elderfelder". Very few people have the fortitude to take the inevitable teasing and jabbing with a smile. Yes, it's a goofy name. So, I brought up this other "Elderfelder" blog to see who the poor sap was.

It's me.

Seems several years ago I decided to start a blog. Um, well, I didn't get very far. There was a very empty page. I finally figured out how to get back into it, and wrote up this post.

So here I am.

I also have a website (also blank), jeffreyhoyt.com. I lost the username and password; so there it sits, empty, taunting me for my utter inability to manage usernames and passwords. Not to mention websites and blogs.
