101 American Nights

It just dawned on us last night that we haven't posted anything about politics in a while, and we're sure you all miss it.

SIDENOTE - Remember this time last year? Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama were duking it out in the Democratic primary; nobody except for Alaskans and some frightened caribou had ever heard of Sarah Palin; and MEvBLOG was just a twinkle in the Internet's eye. Ahhh...how times have changed.

Anyway, yesterday marked President Obama's 100th day as leader of the nation and both the Teletubes and Interwebs were atwitter with comments, opinions, and pasty white men yelling while flailing their arms about - we're talking to YOU Limbaugh and Olbermann.

In our humid little corner of the country, the economy isn't as bad comparatively, but we still have our share of issues. Most of our issues - like dealing with a sub par education system and continuing hurricane relief - are part of the state and local government's responsibilities.

Yet we still play a big part in national discourse, especially when it comes to energy policy. And whatever happens with health care is sure to affect people in every corner of the nation - whether dry or humid.

That being said, we wanted to know what you think. Are we moving in the right direction? Vote in the Quick Poll below and feel free to share your thoughts in the Comments section.
