We live in very troubled times. Troubled in a lot of ways but I am thinking about politically troubled. We seem to have more than the usual number of flawed leaders. We are left with no where to turn.
I have been turning to TV. To streaming, really. What do I stream? I have chosen The West Wing. It’s seven seasons. I’ve turned to it several times. I watch the entire series from pilot to Tomorrow (the title of the last episode of season seven). This is a show that shows how leaders should be; how they should comport themselves. Yes, they are flawed at times but they genuinely want to do the right thing for the people that elected them, for the country in general.
This year, I’ve felt that unsettled feeling of desperation with regard to our political leaders so much that I am currently on my ninth time watching this series from start to finish. It gives me hope that some day, hopefully sooner than later, we’ll have the right kind of leadership. We’ll have sincere, concerned, devoted, and honest leadership. One can only hope.
Wasted Days And Wasted Nights 
And I’ll add amen to that! However, I am a afraid there will be quite a number of years before we get any semblance of normalcy in the White House. I feel there are too many people with their heads in the sand and who do not have any idea of what government is or how it should be. And these same folks don’t give a rip unless it affects their money and then they still have no idea of what they should be doing to bring about change. I could go on and on about how desperate I think the situation in capitol hill has become but, I’ll stop here.

Hopefully not too many years because I don’t know if this country can survive much longer with what is going on.

We need a Mr. Smith Goes to Washington. I like watching Madame Secretary for similar reasons.
