I'MMA LET YOU FINISH
Eleventy-fifth!
Raaahh!!
Nth!
its been sun and blue skies here in Swansea.
feels like Spring.
Sweaty lunk alert!
Philadelphians are urged to keep their children indoors...
Haloscan is dead. Long live haloscan!
Of course, the first nice weekend in months and I'm stuck here at the office. It figures.
It's fucking 43 degrees here and raining.
And speaking of Spring . . . .
Fuck.
I have the AC on here.
NTodd--it's expected to be twice that in SoCal. And sunny.
The Kidz would love it.
A is going outside to play!
It's going to be 80 here today. The birds have gone completely stark raving mad with spring and their hormones.
They are very loud. 
55°F, and overcast here i n the (normally) sunny hi-chihuahuan...
the snow's already starting to melt in the high mountains (well, semi-high; most of our peaks tob put below 13,000 ft), and the rio grande's starting to flow...
the river is, iirc, undammed above cochiti lake between here and santa fe...there'll probably be pretty good river rafting up in embudo canyon this season...
some fool usually drowns, though...
/
It's fucking 43 degrees here and raining.
Sorry. At least the rain will melt the snow. But I bet the Kidz want to be outside.
the current temp here is 10°C (50°F)
Tena--you're not kidding. Utter cacophony outside my house. The cats are standing by the back door doing the trill that says, I see poultry!
I have the AC on here.
fourlegsgood
I bet you do, too, cause it's going to be warm enough today here for it and we've had it on the last two nights.
And you're just that much further south.
All the trees are blooming here:

Motherfuckers with roof decks.
Okay,being polite and all I wanted to wait for an open thread to post about the scorn I feel towards Newt and his ilk. I read a small article in the Oregonian yesterday about his affair while at the same time calling for the impeachment of Clinton. If that wasn't bad enough the guy has the nerve to say he can't be characterized as a hypocrite, because he wasn't in office. Jeez the hairsplitting!! He also said he was still debating whether he will run for the presidency . . . egads this guy is mentally ill; who the hell would vote for him?
Thank you for letting me vent 
I even have my window open.
For Tena & Moon.
Not bad. Not bad at all.
Haloscum is fucking with me again.
dave™©:
In case you didn't see downstairs, I read your exchanges with the Austin Nazi(TM) who to my chagrin is not in fact dead.
You totally cracked me up, is what I'm saying.
4LG,
That picture gives me hope.
It was supposed to be 60 here today. Now it does not appear that the temp shall drop below 70. Winter is over. 
Looks like Oxyclean has a new slogan:
It takes bear shit out of carpeting - it's a fucking miracle substance.
Can't wait to order the T-shirt...
Today's high in Phoenix is 30...Celsius. That's 87 F.
I bet you do, too, cause it's going to be warm enough today here for it and we've had it on the last two nights.
And you're just that much further south.
It's not that hot yet, but it's humid. Ick.
Tena - from the last thread - I think "it took bear shit out of my carpeting!" would make an excellent and innovative ad.
You totally cracked me up, is what I'm saying.
I am honored, suh!
I am off as well, but check out Wolcott's latest.
I, uh, think he's onto something...
PROMINENT SEX SHOP OWNER THREATENS EXPOSRUE
A prominent sex shop owner in Washington threatened with exposures: The sex shop owner Deborah Palfrey considers the sale of the sex shops customer file drawer, because she needs money because of an accusation before court 2 defend herself. In the documents "surely a whole number of high-ranking personalities from politics and economics is registered", said Palfreys lawyer Montgomery Blair Sibley to the television station Fox. according to information on Palfreys web page the drawer weighs in with about 20 Kilos after 13 years.

Actually the distinction Newt makes is he didn't lie about the affair under oath. But he did lie about it when asked

I wish I could adequately describe this - I was out in back with my cat yesterday and a mockingbird landed in the holly bush above us. My cat instantly flattened himself and crawled into the monkey grass and hid. He poked his head out, then ran to me and stuck his head under my knee.
I was dying laughing - he's obviously been pecked on the haid a couple of times.
It's a spring cleaning kind of day.
For Tena & Moon.
Not bad. Not bad at all.
Um, I'm sure the third one is for me, right?
Fuck, I refuse to buy anyone a coke for a simultaneous posting.
i've been doing my laundry today.
ooh fun!
Moonbootica, Nikephoros | Homepage | 03.10.07 - 1:13 pm
This reminds me I need to go downstairs to the communal basement and get my second load out of the dryer.
I'm taking half a day off on Friday. And what will I be doing? laundry!? It's near spring, so it's time to start bringing the warm weather clothes out of the attic. I long for a day when I'll have a home with actual closets, linen and clothes.
Supposedly, we're gonna hit the 80s here in the outer Bay Area this weekend.
Not looking forward to turning on the AC - think I'll put the air cleaner in front of it first!
In case you didn't see downstairs, I read your exchanges with the Austin Nazi(TM) who to my chagrin is not in fact dead.
You totally cracked me up, is what I'm saying.
Gad.
He's a piece of work.
I invited him to go off and mourn his lost love, which prompted a lot of sick talk about dead kittens.

Light blogging as the temperature has actually climbed above 30.
that's no excuse

I had just bought a new frig - a Maytag. The bear took the inside of it completely apart and I thought it was wrecked. It wasn't - everything went back in once it had been cleaned and nothing was harmed. I tried to sell this story to Maytag and they ignored me.

That whole Galt thing made zero sense. Is it me, or do conservatives tend to fumble whenever asked to make fact-based logical arguments?
We've had a 65 degree shift in temps. It was -22 when I woke up the other day, and now we're expecting 40s and maybe even 50s for the next several.
I can't understand people who turn on the AC when it's 80 outside. They must be warm-natured. I hate being cold. I don't turn mine on until it goes over 90.

Now that could be summer reading fun!
Jennifer--I'm comfortable to 100 F. Then I put it on.
The fact is, these cold winter temperatures are proof that "Global Warming" is a left-wing myth thought up to hurt the energy industry because they support Republicans.
So has anyone else heard this radio ad for AmEx that uses "Gimme Some Money" as the background music?
W-T-F!
Nevada Dems have cancelled the debate on Fox at their own peril. Roger Ailes will not soon forgive or forget and Tom Collins and the Nevada DemocratParty will rue the day they cancelled.
Greetings again, rational people. It's a lovely day here in SoCal.
It's still cool enough that I could walk to the store, by the week's groceries and walk home again without being totally wiped out.
I also got to enjoy the wild parrots (of which there are none in North America) getting busy in the live oaks lining my walk.
That whole Galt thing made zero sense. Is it me, or do conservatives tend to fumble whenever asked to make fact-based logical arguments?
That's what they do best. You present something concrete, they attack on some specious, tangential thing.
Here's some evidence on global warming = AL GORE HAS A BIG ELECTRIC BILL!
There were no WMD in Iraq = VALERIE PLAME IS A HAG AND YOU HATE THE TROOPS!
Most people would like universal healthcare = ATRIOS SAID 'FUCK', SOROS FUNDS MOVEON.ORG, AND THE DEMS ARE ANTI-FREESPEECH COMMUNISTS FOR BACKING OUT OF THE FOX DEBATE!

I don't put ketchup on mac & cheese, but as a ketchuphiliac I understand why one might. On the other hand, stewed tomatoes are an established companion to m&c.
Moonboo and I like ketchup on our bacon sandwiches, IIRC. It seems plainly true that "de gustibus non est disputandum", and for some reason I've always abhorred the practice of picking on people at table because of their choice and use of condiments.
It seems that certain depraved folk-- older siblings, I'd guess-- just live for the chance to make jibes like, "How about a little cinnamon bun on that butter?" Fuck them. They can blow Simels. True, I am a deplorably thin-skinned Little Brøther at times, but I truly loathe the smug, grinning mug of one who practices one-upsmanship over one's eating habits.
Slash me gizzard, cut out me liver, but I've never cared for mustard-- stinky, stinky mustard. Once in a while someone will get on the elevator with a soft pretzel loaded with mustard, just purchased at the lobby food vendor. Before 8AM. I gag. But I wouldn't dream of asking him if he likes a little pretzel with his mustard.

Oh they'll have a debate, I'm sure. Do not fear.
It just won't be on GOP TV.
We've had a 65 degree shift in temps. It was -22 when I woke up the other day, and now we're expecting 40s and maybe even 50s for the next several.
It was 12 degrees last night. 50 degrees now.
And headed toward the 60s.
In March?
Jennifer--I'm comfortable to 100 F. Then I put it on.
That's because you don't live in a swamp like I do.
It's damp here today and I have a headache. Other wise it wouldn't be on.
Roger Ailes will not soon forgive or forget
Yeah, cuz otherwise, Fox was totally gonna give the Dems a real chance. As I said last night, this Fox boycott scares the fucking bejeebuz out of them. Come on Clinton and Obama! Do the right thing!
Sallyh - I'm not comfortable in the 90s, but if you open and close windows at the right time, the house can remain comofortably cool for all but a couple of hours per day. I have an attic fan too, which helps because I can use it to suck all the warm air out of the house once the sun goes down. It's pretty rare that I turn on the AC until after the end of May...sometimes, I make it until the end of June.

Democrats slam GOP over Walter Reed woes
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/
20070...ats_walter_reed
WASHINGTON - An Arizona congressman said Saturday that mold-covered walls, rodent infestations and other problems uncovered recently at Walter Reed Army Medical Center reveal "a catastrophic failure of leadership" by the Bush administration.
Rep. Harry Mitchell (news, bio, voting record), D-Ariz., said in the Democrats' weekly radio address that Congress is acting quickly to hold the administration accountable for underfunding and mismanaging the veterans health care system.
"This is no way to treat our troops, no way to treat our veterans, and Democrats are taking action," Mitchell said...
Mitchell said the Bush administration has tried to care for veterans "on the cheap."
Democrats have provided about $3.5 billion above the president's budget request in the emergency war funding bill, which House members will vote on soon, to deal with the health care problems faced by veterans, he said.
"I think one of the best things Congress can do is find government waste and weed it out. But it's not right to hurt veterans when they so desperately need our care," Mitchell said.
I can't understand people who turn on the AC when it's 80 outside. They must be warm-natured. I hate being cold. I don't turn mine on until it goes over 90.
Jennifer
O god!
You should be married to my husband. He's never warm. I'm never cold.
Had the AC on last night, woke up 3 times because I was too warm. The cat doesn't help.
The fact is, these cold winter temperatures are proof that "Global Warming" is a left-wing myth thought up to hurt the energy industry because they support Republicans.
Uh, dumbass. Winter still happens because the Northern Hemisphere is still further away from the sun.
I can't understand people who turn on the AC when it's 80 outside.
Well, if it's 80 outside, it's 95 in this house...
Man, I'll never be nasty to the Little Sociopath(TM) again.
Did you read the shit he was saying to me last night? you might want to reconsider.
He's a total waste of oxygen.
Hi All
we are tyring to raise awareness about Blogs For Bush founder Mark Noonan who is 42 and claims he's too old to enlist in the military.
But he wanted to after 9/11 as his About Author page states for his new book
this Fox boycott scares the fucking bejeebuz out of them. Come on Clinton and Obama! Do the right thing!

Hush. The past two weeks were murder for me, walking 12 blocks to the train then waiting on the windy platform. I'll take this any day.
Man, I'll never be nasty to the Little Sociopath(TM) again.
The question is: How long after typing this did simels forget he ever said such a thing?
So basically we are looking for bloggers to write posts and/or email Mark Noonan (founder of Blogs for Bush) and tell him that he CAN join the military and go fight in Iraq. He claims he's too old but's he's not. I've written more here and here
Let me know if you email and/or post about it so I can include you on a running list of those who are on board.
Thanks

Good God, I wish I could think like that, much less write!
My favorite is this from the post on the 300:
"codpiece neoconservatives aroused to fiery ire by the plight of their fallen comrade, Scooteratus."
So, there are actual temperature limitations to the blogmeister? Interesting.

Yeah, I did.
I especially appreciated when you told hi to fuck off and go grieve over his lost love.
God, I wish I'd been there at the time.

I already cleaned the oven and the floors.
I need to out but this chair is so comfy.
Bloody chair.
We don't know who the next President will be, or who the Pres's social secretary will be, but these people simply MUST be on the invite list for the Inaugural Reception and the White House.
That whole Galt thing made zero sense. Is it me, or do conservatives tend to fumble whenever asked to make fact-based logical arguments?
The task they are essentially faced with in arguing for their GOPer talking points is trying to convince people that 2+2=5. It's not surprising that logic isn't in their favor.
. I have an attic fan too, which helps
I'd kill for an attic fan. They do work - if you can manage to open the house enough, an attic fan will cool it off at night to the point where you don't need AC until summer.
this Fox boycott scares the fucking bejeebuz out of them. Come on Clinton and Obama! Do the right thing!
Hecate, Runnymeade Conspirator
You know what's going on, don't you? FOX sees the writing on the wall.
They WANT to attract democratic viewers. Which Ain't. Gonna. HAPPEN.
I guess the other part of it is that I dress for the outside weather. When it gets into the 90s here, that means sleeveless, lightweight, woven...with the humidity it's "instasweat" weather and you wear the lightest stuff you can. I would get chilly with the AC on dressed that way, but to even step outside for a few minutes you have to be dressed that way or you'll need another shower.
The fact is, these cold winter temperatures are proof that "Global Warming" is a left-wing myth thought up to hurt the energy industry because they support Republicans.
It's not cold. It's hot. Clearly global warming is real.

The funny thing is that he doesn't upset me in the least. He's just silly.
I thought a minute before saying that, but it was a really short minute.
sometimes, I make it until the end of June.

here in the hi/dri/chihuahuan, evaporative (aka "swamp") coolers are the norm...but they are ungodly water hogs, and water is incredibly precious and growing more so with every passing year, as more and more folks migrate here.
so last year, i did without, the whole summer...feeling very virtuous, i sweated through the whole summer without once turning the damned thing on...
and i shall endeavor to do so again this year, as well...

Do the Spartans have their long shoulder-length hair in 300? That was one of the fun things in the accounts of the battle -- a Persian spy returned to the king, who asked what the Spartans were up to. The spy said they were sitting around combing their hair. The king and his entourage laughed -- until a Greek traitor among them pointed out that that meant the Spartans were preparing to die -- i.e. to fight to the death.
so last year, i did without, the whole summer...feeling very virtuous, i sweated through the whole summer without once turning the damned thing on...
I recommend you instal a whole house punkah.
