Poor DINO Diane Feinstein has has her knickers in a twist over the Leon Panetta appointment. Aw, poor Di, nobody groveled before her to find out who she wanted. I hope this is just the first of many things where DiFi and her ilk are out of the loop, though I’m sure that means they’ll make things difficult for anything Obama wants to do. But they would anyway, so fuck ’em. They have their own agendas, and what’s good for the country doesn’t factor in. They’re a lot like Republicans that way.
Down with DINOs. And down with Pappy Bush promoting Jeb for Senate and Prez. As if this country hadn’t been destroyed enough by the Bush crime family.
It’s cold and supposed to snow, today and then turn to rain and slush and ice tomorrow. I’m so thrilled.
I’ve been hearing all the talk about Obama’s tax cuts, as if these cuts have just been announced to satisfy the ever atrophying GOP. But I seem to remember Obama talking about substantial tax cuts all through his campaign. Even Joe the Unlicensed Plumber admitted that he’d receive a greater tax cut under the Obama plan than McLame’s.
Some of the reporting is driven by ideology, like Fox. Bt, most of it is just incompetence and laziness.
But, at least NBC dissed Coulter. That’s a little progress.
Today is Admission Day in New Mexico. Does that include
Al :bee: :turkey: and :santacool: Fe?
And CBS is there to take up the slack.
There’s video, too, if you can stomach it.
I haven’t had lunch, yet so I took a chance and watched Coulter. She is disgusting but that is to be expected. But, the interview was not the fawning kind that was the rule in the past.
Preogress? Maybe.
Sheepdogs have helped to guard a colony of fairy penguins, and proven themselves to be very good at their job. So good, in fact, that conservationists are pondering what other threatened animals these K9s can protect.
A colony of fairy penguins on Warrnambool’s Middle Island off the south coast of Australia has dwindled dramatically due to attacks by foxes and wild dogs. However, their numbers are rising again thanks to their new bodyguards – two Maremmas, an Italian breed of sheepdog that bonds with the flock or herd of animals it is protecting.

Break Room Live with Maron and Seder.
Maybe they can find something that works in a single place and stick with it?
I saw this yesterday and didn’t even bother because it can all change tomorrow. Two talented and smart guys who have serious fans and followers keep driving into a ditch to get out of it.
Fewer people hang on or care as time goes on.
🙁
I rarely watch it these days. Not on at a good time for me, and I just don’t think about watching it afterward. Too bad. I really wish Maron had turned up on HBO.
Whatever has taken over the Maronvseder site has fucked up the chat. Maybe I have to log in to see it.
Nope. Maybe there’s a glitch with safari.
The Washington Post is reporting that Barack Obama has offered the job of surgeon general to Sanjay Gupta. He’s expected to accept the job, the Post says, citing two unnamed sources. Gupta declined the Post’s request for comment.

I had to give up on MvS a while ago. You really need some peppy broadband to receive it properly. A real shame.
Does anyone know of any applications I can download on a Mac for using Javascipt?
Never mind, I think I’ve found something :doh:
:penguin: Is Jeffy our fairy penguin?
So, do any of you go to any food blogs? Cooking, growing, seed stock, whatever. Our Rhiba Farms web site is going to have a blog and I wanna start checking them out.
Gee, what’d it take – a couple hundred years? And the Senate me wonders….
One of the TP’s bloggers wrote, “I’ve never been entirely comfortable referring to people as pieces of furniture. That aside, thank you, Speaker Pelosi!”
kp, I just read my local co-op news stuff and the true food network (where there’s a petition to urge Obama to make progressive changes to the USDA.)
Difi & Co. have a lot to atone for in my book. Of course their panties are in a knot if they can’t control the messenger.
There are gale-force winds blowing here at the 49th. The girls and I had trouble walking.
Gupta helped mr fk get to the right docs after the bombing.
