A few minutes before the new President was sworn in
From Screwed:
"If we are going to live in a Democracy, we need to have a healthy middle class. Thom Hartmann shows us how the ‘cons’ have wronged this country, and tells us what needs to be done to reclaim what it is to be American."
—Eric Utne, Founder, Utne magazine
From The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"Thom Hartmann channels the best of the American Founders with voice and pen. His deep attachment to a democratic civil society is just the medicine America needs."
—Tom Hayden, author of The Long Sixties and director, Peace and Justice Resource Center.
From The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"With the ever-growing influence of corporate CEOs and their right-wing allies in all aspects of American life, Hartmann’s work is more relevant than ever. Throughout his career, Hartmann has spoken compellingly about the value of people-centered democracy and the challenges that millions of ordinary Americans face today as a result of a dogma dedicated to putting profit above all else. This collection is a rousing call for Americans to work together and put people first again."

Get out and see if I can work with some other Democrats.
Call Robert Reich to see who he recommends as my new economic advisers.

Call Bill and see if he would like to take Hillary's place.
Set-up a free Christmas vacation trip to France for GWB. (Open date on return flight.)
Make to-do list for Monday.
Note to self: take advice from Democrats before asking Republicans.
Note to self: reconsider "preemptive surrender" negotiation strategy.
