A look back: November 26, 2006
Scroll down the screen and you will see a post nearly four years old observing a swing of the political pendulum; amazing that toggling 'left' with 'right' allows that post to be as relevant and accurate today as it was then.
The lesson here is that American politics, indeed, has a rhythm which is generally consistent and disturbed on the rarest of occasion.
The composer, of this rhythm, are politicians and the principle of cause-and-effect.
'Throw the bums out' sentiment elects those in the minority to form a new majority who ultimately seek to exercise, accumulate and preserve political power. And this repeats. And repeats.
Do not be surprised if we look back, four years from now, at October 8, 2010.
