Great News! The RECESSION IS OVER!!! That’s right, folks: it’s over. Break out the champagne, put on your party hat and kick up your heels like Michael Flatly in Lord of the Dance! The LA Times reports that the National Bureau of Economic Research has reached the conclusion that the Recession that started in December of 2007 officially ended in June of 2009, just six months after the Inauguration of President Obama. That’s right: true to his word, Obama has cooled Global Warming, Lowered the Seas, Cleaned the Air and Saved the Economy. Can’t you just feel it? Praise be Obama!

Maybe Republicans are counting their “Ducks” before they’ve hatched, or maybe it’s the Democrats trying to shift the fervor of the Conservative Movement into complacency, but Conservative Talk and posts on Social Networking sites like Facebook.com seem to be abuzz regarding the potential ramifications of a “Lame Duck Congress” following the Mid-Term Elections in November. “What’s the worst that can happen?” is the question, with answers ranging from a rapid forced passage of Cap & Trade Legislation, Comprehensive Immigration Reform, the “Livable Communities Act” or even Martial Law! But I think we’re putting the “Cart Before the Horse,” or at the very least the Duck before the Vote.

It’s funny the way the concept of respect works. If you are being disrespected, you demand respect. If you are the one being disrespectful, then it’s “Just a Joke” or “They’re being ‘overly-sensitive.’” But a world without respect is a dangerous world to live in, and there are lines that should not be crossed. Perhaps that’s the real meaning of “The Golden Rule.”
