L is for Looming

L is for Looming

You know which word I see much too often in the news these days? Looming.

Now, a loom is a device used to weave cloth and that is hardly ominous or threatening. But looming is not about using that device. That's called weaving.

Looming is the perilous narrative ('looming budget sequester') that is being weaved into every conversation in Washington and fed to the media and to the masses.

Don't be duped.

This is all self-inflicted drama that is the result of ideological gridlock that has become the fabric of this Congress. Their inability to compromise on critical issues that deeply affect the nation is the only looming crisis we should be addressing.

Strict ideology is more damaging than any dollar figure that could be held up and used to frighten and divide the people of this nation.
