That is how Monday felt!  Cheney Aide backs Hersch’s claim, GM CEO fired, Prelude to the G20, Afghan strategy, O’Reilly plays victim, unfair treatment of blue-collar vs white-collar,  Drug wars, Spain thinking of indicting Americans for War Crimes, Floods, The GOP Budget, and even Al Franken.

So what is with all this coming out or coming back at this time?  What is really going on?  Do we really have this much going on right now???

I, personally, was numb… 

The more I read the more something really sank in -  I didn’t see one story about the Formula One rule changes and the great race they produced…  while many may think I’m going out on a limb here it actually has a lot to do with the world as we know it.  This sport had been dominated by 3 teams and had lost one team due to costs – Shades of Banking and Auto.  The Head of F1 saw the writing on the wall and knew he would lose more teams if he didn’t make the sport more interesting & competative; so he decided to change the rules.  Many of the rules were made to cut costs, many were made to equalize the playing field and a few were even made to ensure the “Greening” of the sport.  In my eyes this is the perfect example of what we need to do.  Like most people I was very critical of the plan last year while they were promoting it but I love the sport to I came back and Wow what a race.  It was thrilling and the winning team almost didn’t return due to financial difficulties.  The third place guy started from the pits, and the World Champ had mechanical troubles causing him to start from the back.  There were “Rookie” mistakes made by young racers and the “Stars” were hidden in the masses.

I think those who are scared of change need to look around and find these good, little noted examples of reform and regulation that work, and work well.
