I'm mostly posting this so Mom, Dad, Matt and Viv can get a cheap laugh. In 'sunny FL' today its a balmy 61 on its way to 79. M&V get to enjoy a high of 64. As you can see in the enclosed photo taken mere moments ago we will not even sniff the 30s today. Forecast is for wind chills of up to (why do they say up to when describing negative numbers?) -15 below and 1-3 inches of the white stuff. Its as cold as Anne Coulter's nether regions on a hopping Saturday night here.
Aly and I are lounging safely in the Condo De Reynolds and staying warm. I have been commanded by her majesty to go and fetch Mexican when I eventually brave the elements to go to the gym. Thankfully both are just down the road - you have to love the positive aspects of urban sprawl. The front-wheel-drive on the Honda will power me through the elements. I'll just have to watch out for all of the other jackasses on the road.
Speaking of jackasses, I can't help but include one little tidbit of soapbox in this posting. We have to laugh at the mental image that comes with the CNN.com headline "Obama has a leg up on McCain". Are they spooning? Is Obama marking his political territory by peeing on McCain's leg? The possibilities are endless. No, this is not the tidbit. I am actually thinking about the speech GWB2 gave to the conservative forum on Friday. Yes, we all know he never ventures in front of a hostile audience (this is why you always see him at a podium in front of military folks or oil barons) yet this time he was pitched the proverbial softball by a group of Heritage Foundation donars and such. The Ape actually said in reference to the economy and Iraq, "Our policies are working..." and no one laughed or called him out. Imagine him saying that in the Basra markets where women are being killed for wearing eyeshadow - the mullahs would be proud. I also wonder if he could get away with such an utterance in a local watering hole here on the North Coast where the foreclosure crisis is blazing away.
There are not enough words in the English language to decribe what a self-deluded idiot that man is. At any rate, the real icing on the cake came when at the end of his speech, he thanked the sheep in the audience who promptly began bleeting at the top of their lungs "Four More Years". Four more years indeed. What do you say to such a thing? "Please hand me a bucket 'cause I'm gonna hurl!"
Can we just fast-forward to January 2009? This is just tooooo painful to watch.
