Only Tuesday? It’s been a long week already. Yesterday’s single-digit temperatures have turned to mid-twenties and freezing rain, on the way to a highs near fifty for a couple of days before getting cold again some time on Thursday. Personally, I’d prefer that it just settle down to winter and knock this roller coaster stuff of already. Oh well. It beats having a fighter jet crash into your house.
I was just about to complain about the up an own temperatures, bt that mention of the fighter jet crash certainly made me stop for a minute. But, I’m going to complain anyway..in advance.
Tomorrow the low is to be 34 and the high 59, a 25 degree difference. How the hell do I dress for that?
Meanwhile I read the Sen. Shelby is threatening to filibuster the auto bailout because American cars are competing with the foreign ones built in his state. Somehow I really doubt that he can get 60 Rethugs. I guess they miss their old power. I will never be able to miss them!
I hope your day off helped you to recover, PJ.
Off to work, I go! Ugh.
It snowed about 5″ here overnight. It’s 23 now.
There’s several feet of powder everywhere in the Colorado ski resorts, reservations are up and…… uh oh, Vail resorts just layed off 50 people and have stopped matching 401 K’s 😮
It’s winter in amerika :cold: :omg: :jason:
He doesn’t need 60 to filibuster. He only needs 41. The Dems need 60 to prevent the filibuster.
If any of you are looking for extra work temporarily they are looking for people to help out with the 2010 census . You have to take a test and it was harder than I expected but I still got 95%. Seems the hours would be flexible.
Patrick J. Fitzgerald is attorney general for illinois, isn’t he? looks like he’s made a pretty big arrest.
Kevin, you’re right of course. Early in the morning the brain does not function. But, I don’t think he can get 40, either because that would mean getting senators from states that will be affected by the auto layoffs or making the Rethugs look as if they don’t care about the rest of America, which although true, still looks pretty bad.
Wow, what a jerk Gov. Blagojevich is.
And here I was so proud of Blagojevich for his stand against Bank of America (you don’t suppose that had anything to do with it, do you? I know Fitzgerald is supposed to have oodles of integrity and all that, but he’s still a Republican, and he did pretty much let Rove and Cheney off the hook, without getting much at all on Scooter).
I wonder if any of this stink will get on Obama?

i like that, trav.
does anyone know who will select Obama’s replacement – is it a Republican? If it is, then I dutifully sport :tinfoil:
Alright just go here instead.

Probably as fast as Fox can shovel it.
:barf:
Did you know that Obama was going to use his cut of Blagojevich’s finder’s fee to pay for a birth certificate that would prove he is a natural born citizen of the U.S.? It’s true!
Hey, that wasn’t bad! I wonder if Karl Rove is hiring.
Did you know that when Obama won his U.S. Senate seat, he and Michelle celebrated by having a threesome with Jeri Ryan? It’s true! I think Drudge even has pictures!
See, anyone can write this shit.
:rofl2:
Did you know that Obama paid Plaxico Burress to shoot himself, so that Obama’s bookie buddies could better control the point spread on the remaining Giants games? It’s true! Plaxico told me himself the other day when we were visiting Michael Vick.
Sean, call me. I work way cheaper than Alan does.
I heard some pundit on TV say that Blogojevich still is the only one who can appoint a replacement, There is a lieutenant governor who was Blogojevich’s running mate so assume he is also a Dem. Sen. Durbin is pushing for a special election.
Kevin, you have hitherto unsuspected talent. I hope it is coupled with a very controllable gag reflex. Just imagine sitting opposite Hannity for an hour every day.
Democrats urge special election to succeed Obama
Lt. Gov is a Dem.
From what I hear, Gov. Bogdonovich isn’t going to resign, so he’s quite likely to appoint the next Senator. Which will put that person in a very tough position, even if s/he is a good person.
On a side note, Caroline Kennedy is probably the only one who can afford to pay for the NY Senate seat.
:yuck: I know for sure I missed one problem on the final. An optimization problem
Speaking of the NY Senate seat, this is more bizarre than anything I could possibly make up.

New Yorkers would be issued earplugs during press conferences, of course.
Kevin, it took 1 hour for the Rethugs to try to pin it on Obama. Here’s a post from BarbinMD at DK:
When the news of the arrest of Illinois Governor Rob Blagojevich broke, it took the RNC less than an hour to try and tie him to President-elect Barack Obama, an attempt so pitiful that even the Washington Times wasn’t buying it. Apparently the RNC didn’t bother to read the Criminal Complaint.
Here’s where it talks about Candidate 1, Obama’s preference to replace him in the US Senate:
By this time, media reports indicated that Senate Candidate 1, an advisor to the President-
elect, was interested in the Senate seat if it became vacant, and was likely to be supported by the President-elect. During the call, ROD BLAGOJEVICH stated, “unless I get something real good for [Senate Candidate 1], shit, I’ll just send myself, you know what I’m saying….And if I don’t get what I want and I’m not satisfied with it, then I’ll just take the Senate seat myself.†Later, ROD BLAGOJEVICH stated that the Senate seat “is a fucking valuable thing, you just don’t give it away for nothing.â€
But Obama wouldn’t play:
ROD BLAGOJEVICH stated that he is “struggling” financially and does “not want to be Governor for the next two years.” ROD BLAGOJEVICH said that the consultants (Advisor B and another consultant are believed to be on the call at that time) are telling him that he has to “suck it up” for two years and do nothing and give this “motherfucker [the President-elect] his senator. Fuck him. For nothing? Fuck him.” ROD BLAGOJEVICH states that he will put “[Senate Candidate 4]” in the Senate “before I just give fucking [Senate Candidate 1] a fucking Senate seat and I don’t get anything.”
Later in the conversation, ROD BLAGOJEVICH said he knows that the President-elect wants Senate Candidate 1 for the open seat but “they’re not willing to give me anything except appreciation. Fuck them.”
No, fuck you, Governor.
Too bad for the Republicans that Blagojevich had no role in Obama’s campaign, his transition, and that the two men have never been close.

This is what’s coming up in an hour on Jeff’s show.
At 6 PM Professor Stuart Newman is a professor of cell biology and anatomy at New York Medical College.. His research interests center around three program areas: cellular and molecular mechanisms of vertebrate limb development, physical mechanisms of morphogenesis, and mechanisms of morphological evolution. He also writes extensively about social and cultural aspects of biological research and technology. We will discuss his work rethinking Darwinian evolution.
This is interesting

I actually just finished working three full working days in a row as a temp house manager at a facility at my local medical college. It was a lot of fun since it is holiday party season and I got to make sure the events got set up right and ran smoothly. Nice fringe benefits, too (leftovers! :turkey: ) and I may have made some good contacts, I think. I may get some more days there in the next month if I am available.
MySpace has a new ‘People You Know” feature and they think I may know a Suzie Joy and a roxieseattle.
🙁
Make that People You Might Know
Suzie Joy and a roxieseattle.

love em while you can, keep the memories alive.
