I have fallen through the Rabbit Hole into the Land of the Prospective.
Congress has “graduated from the place here they read and debated actual bills, to where they voted for a 1017 page bill they never read, to now today when they will vote in the Senate Finance Bill that has not yet been written.
The Nobel Peace Prize Committee voted a Peace Prize for a President based on his intentions, none of which have come to fruition or even moved slowly in his intended direction.
Rush Limbaugh is accused of saying things he says he has not said, his accusers cannot find the citations they accuse him of saying, and, apparently they will hold him responsible for the comments because, even though he may not have said them he certainly could have thought them.
We have a White House that complains that fox News is adversarial. In my youth ALL media was adversarial to political people of all stripes — then we went through a period where the press knew things about which they would not report — such as the multiple Kennedy dalliances — and have morphed into a general rooting session for the administration…leaving only Fox News to be adversarial. Strange.
This new Prospective World is a bit of a problem for those of us who deal in what used to be called “reality.” This new world in which intentions count more than accomplishments, where rules are written in the air, where we believe we can divine the hearts of men based on words they did not say, is a puzzlement for some of us.
