As the holiday season begins to come to a close in the coming days, many political findings will come to the forefront. The inauguration will be quickly approaching, the transfer of a new president, and the legal case concerning the Illinois governor are investigated.
At this time, many issues are unsolved, and though these issues are vital to address, the holiday season usually takes precedent over the pressing problems of the nation in the news. That is not always a bad thing, as taking a break from the nation's news coverage is beneficial to everyone. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! May your days be merry and bright, and may all your political predictions be right!

It's a Wonderful Life
One of the greatest Christmas movies of all time is It's A Wonderful Life. In all of the decades that have past since the 1940s movie, no other movie can top the timeless message of George Bailey. He was at the lowest of the low-unsure of the next step and doubtful of his future. He found nothing left in his life to live for, and is so consumed with his own self-pity that he was willing to take his own life.
Even when he is back from his adventure of seeing life without him, he is very grateful for his situation-joyful for his deaf ear, not dismayed of his financial woes, and jumping from the rafters at each friend he passes. He was a man in pain of his current position in life. He couldn't see past his situation to find his meaning in life. When he saw how his life affected others in such a positive way, he wouldn't have taken it back in a heartbeat.
2008 has been a challenging year. Whether it be painful financial difficulties, the breaking election news, or the many other downfalls that this life has had to offer, there are still boundless things to be thankful for. It may be friendships, grace, or a the simplest of things that has gotten us through the year. We will never know until we reach the other side how we have impacted this earth. If we had that opportunity, maybe we would be able to see that we really had a Wonderful Life.

What's Going on in Georgia
Here is the problem: Will it help or hurt America if the Democrats have control of the Senate?
How will a filibuster-proof Senate give the people more of a voice in Washington?
Has Chambliss been an efficient representative of Georgia and does Georgia deserve a change in representation?
Who will this affect the most?
We all have a point of view of who needs to be in the Senate from Georgia, but we must consider the ramifications.
