I've always had a tendency to leave things until the last minute. I'm hoping the same pattern will hold for my death - as Last Minute as Possible. Might as well have one thing benefit from procrastination.
Not much else really does. Certainly nothing involving running a government.
Yet, the End of February finds our leaders out on the brink, procrastinating.
What a sad way to end a dangerous but fascinating month. How often do we get to feel such relief as an asteroid big enough to take out Texas misses us by a cosmic hair's breath, while at the same time getting hit by another one not world-ending, but still big enough to cause damage and injury?
The cosmos takes its best shot and we survive, only to gut ourselves through political gamesmanship coupled with cowardly procrastination.
Well, I guess that's organic life for you. Inconsistent, except to be consistently self-flagellating.
But I shouldn't end on a negative note. There is still time left in February; from where I sit typing there's a little more than an hour. Something good can still come in, just under the wire.
