That family member I mentioned is out of the hospital and now we’re up to our neck in medical appointments. Which is a near guarantee I’m not going to get any work done today. No focus. So I’m catching up on news and blogs: faux productivity.
Nobody seems to understand the electoral college anymore. A family member was recently bemoaning it and saying she wanted it abolished so her vote would “count.” I said sure, as long as you’re willing for California and New York to decide every election.

Yet another media snow job to promote AGW. They really need to back off; the fact that it’s getting colder, not warmer, is about to bite them right on the butt, resulting in hilarious headlines like this one at NPR: The Mystery of Global Warming’s Missing Heat. Next we’ll rip Al Gore’s mask off, and listen to him complain that he’d have gotten away with it too, if it wasn’t for those meddling kids!

Some creative sentencing for those bozos who crank up their car radios high enough to shake your windows: give ‘em the Manilow treatment.
I still can’t stand Huckabee and this sort of sniping isn’t helping. He acts like a nice man, but he’s decidedly unpleasant, time and again.
