But 2010 should be a year of big expectations, namely changing Trenton by demoting Madame Pelosi, getting rid of Dingy Harry and Dodo Dodd, and bringing about real change to the culture of Washington.
But first things first.
After the failed Christmas bombing by the underwear bomber, I think it's time for Paul Giamatti to go back to making movies and stick to playing John Adams if you so choose to stay in politics. For those who don't get that reference, let me clarify my musing in laymen's terms: Janet Napolitano has to resign. It is clear that Napolitano, who heads the Department of Homeland Security, has no idea what she's doing, and one can make the argument that, to be quite frank, she doesn't care. How do we know? Shortly after the falied attack, Napolitano asserted that the system "worked" (a statement later contradicted by her own boss, President Obama).So obviously, Republicans are calling for Napolitano's resignation. But as of late, some key Democrats have called to Napolitano to quit as well, such as New Jersey State Senate president Richard Codey and former advisor to Sen. Joe Lieberman (I-CT) Dan Gerstein.
But I want to take that one step further. I believe that the Department of Homeland Security should be abolished. Hear me out, we are in economic straights right now, and another bureaucracy is not going to help solve that problem. Granted, perhaps created in a moment of panic by President Bush shortly after 9/11. But as we have seen, it is no more effective than if we just left it in the hands of the Department of Justice (which has too much power as well, but that's a different discussion). The experiment is costing the American taxpayer X-amount of dollars that we already don't have.Get rid of Janet Napolitano, get rid of unnecessary bureaucracies, and bring real change in November!
