Happy New Year, everyone.  In case you wondered, I don't make resolutions and haven't for many years.  Too easy to make grandiose promises that are all too easy to break as soon as they are made.  I haven't seen much to comment on this morning so far.  The Senate managed to get some kind of mini-deal on the fiscal conundrum.  Now let's see if the House can do the same.  The news broadcast this morning commented that Marco Rubio (R-FL) voted against thinking that a no vote would help him three years from now when the next Presidential primaries.  They expect Paul Ryan to do the same for the same reason.  Guess what, boys? You have just lost any chance you had of getting my vote next time around.
