The rutabagas of politics

Yes, I know posting has been light lately, it's that tricky 'work' business slowing me down. You are always on my mind, dear readers, but by the time I've snatched a moment to compose my thoughts about some news item -- and I do have views, for instance, about those entitled gits who insisted on going out of bounds at the ski resort in BC and had to be rescued by the ski patrol (ah but was that, on the other hand, perhaps unnecessary nanny-stateism?) -- the world has moved on.

So, clearly, I should be working on a post about Gaza, since it seems perfectly likely that Israel will still be pounding the crap out of it as I enter my retirement years. Any other suggestions for stories that, like turnips or rutabagas, will keep reliably in storage throughout the winter months, even if the thought of them turns the stomach?

How about the debate over whether showering tax cuts on honchos will actually do anything to stimulate the economy? That one keeps really well, fishy smell to the contrary.
