Algore went outside, saw his own (hulking) shadow, got frightened and cold and went back inside to turn up the thermostat. So, six more weeks of winter, bitches! And on this slide, you can see . . .

Via Jammie Wearing Fool: Poor little Puffy. He’s really sorry for cheating on his taxes and now claims to be embarrassed. OK, so if you’re embarrassed, reject the cabinet nomination and go away. You and your fat-cat lobbyist wife don’t have to worry about finances like the little people. Thomas A. Daschle, picked by President Barack Obama to be Health and Human Services secretary, said he was “deeply embarrassed” about

Pam Spaulding and (Roy Edroso at) the (troubled*) Village Voice, among others, can’t distinguish between my post on the PJM meltdown and Jeff’s update, addressed to Roger. Moreover, they’ve grabbed the “wingnut welfare” meme so helpfully handed to them by The Fedora and run with it. I’ve got other things to attend to today. Lots, in fact. But I may have to spend some time responding to these twerps. I’d

I really dig my priest, but he’s from Boston. So, in the readings today he recounts the story of God appointing Joshua to take over where the old man left off. Then he pulls out a children’s book about Harriet Tubman, called Moses, about her faith and her mission to free first herself, then her children, then hundreds of other slaves. Fine. As I’ve mentioned before, blacks’ association with Israel

Via Gateway Pundit: The “War on Terror” is losing the war of words. The catchphrase burned into the American lexicon hours after the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, is fading away, slowly if not deliberately being replaced by a new administration bent on repairing the U.S. image among Muslim nations. Since taking office less than two weeks ago, President Barack Obama has talked broadly of the “enduring struggle against terrorism

Via Redstate: The capital flew into a bit of a tizzy when, on his first full day in the White House, President Obama was photographed in the Oval Office without his suit jacket. There was, however, a logical explanation: Mr. Obama, who hates the cold, had cranked up the thermostat. “He’s from Hawaii, O.K.?” said Mr. Obama’s senior adviser, David Axelrod, who occupies the small but strategically located office next

Yesterday, I had a Facebook chat with Andrew Breitbart, who’s remarkably accessible that way. You may remember from way back when you read Sidney’s “Apology for Poetry,” that the most excerpted phrase is that poetry must “delight and instruct.” Sidney’s argument is that those who resort to philosophy are the already converted–the choir, if you will–and that the advantage of poetry is that it clothes similar hot ideas in attractive

Tomorrow.

the rogering. Sort of. Damn good thing it wasn’t oxycontin. Congress hedges itself against stagflation with a $93k raise. We’re all going to have to sacrifice. **** update: With thanks to Darleen for reading Roger’s Version so that I don’t have to, an excerpt: Actually that part of our business has been losing money from the beginning, so the people getting their quarterly checks from PJM were getting a form

Forget about all the lefty sites slinging their vitriol. Life’s too short. Instead, enjoy this recently unearthed (by my high school girlfriend) pic from my Risky Business phase:
