President Obama
on Monday
struck a budget agreement
with Congress
adding $50 billion in spending
for this fiscal year
divided equally
between domestic and defense needs
and another $16 billion
for emergency war spending.
The tenative deal
contains nothing radical
but is an actual
bipartisan agreement
and does free up Obama
to do some things
any of them
potentially actually radical
or "Fox News radical"
and actual-reality
"about damn time"
in his last 14 months
in office
and quite frequently
both at the same time
particularly when speaking
to the police
about reforming the police.
(You can never tell
with that guy.)
