In a show of brave solidarity, brave “Democratic” Nebraska Senator Ben Nelson has announced that he will, um, filibuster his President’s nominee for the NLRB, Craig Becker. Craig’s crime? Being former counsel for both SEUI and the AFL-CIO. And we just can’t have that. As we all know, since St. Ronald assumed the Presidential Papacy back in the late 20th Century, the duty of the NLRB has been to crush organized labor under its boot heel, and then piss on its quivering bloody shell as it dies. Ronnie is long gone, but we can count on men like Ben (and the ferret that lives on his head) to keep labor in its place.
Another big storm is headed east, and once again it looks like it’ll stay well to the south of us. Normally I’d lament the lack of snow, but since I’ve kind of gotten out if the habit of shoveling, I guess I won’t complain.
The world’s tallest structure – the Burj Khalifa building in Dubai – closed suddenly, due to electrical problems. Looks like they’ve got some more construction work to do before they can start packing tourists into the elevator to the observation deck (at $27 a pop). That construction stuff just never seems to end, does it?
Speaking of endless construction projects, just in case you were wondering, when last we checked in, my kitchen was looking kinda like this:
Now, it’s looking like this:
Next up, ceiling, floor, bathroom(s)….
Kitchen looks great.
As for that snow, I’m hoping for a day off on Wednesday. The Chancellor can keep the schools open if he wishes, but I will not venture a trip to the Bronx if the snow gives me an excuse.
The cold is bad enough!
Good job, PJ.
You know, you’re not going to able to reach that microwave in a few years. Probably kill yourself trying to too.
Great job there, pj!
Nice work, pj! All I got is someone gave me a Magic Bullet a few weeks ago.
Granny did all the painting and the stuff that makes it look nice. As for my carpentry, well, let’s just say there’s a reason I’m not taking any close-ups.
:blues: very nice!
Well, if I ever get so old, decrepit, and bent-over that I can’t reach the microwave, I can always use the old microwave that’s now in the basement by the beer refrigerator.
And if it gets to the point I can’t reach the beer refrigerator, then I’ll just have to kill myself.
NO SCHOOL TOMORROW!!! Mayor Bloomie has decided. First thing he’s done of which I approve.
🙁 no school? thats bullshit!
Very nice PJ!!
Well it’s started snowing here. There’s goes the association budget for sure.
I’m really jealous of the french door bottom freezer fridge. That’s where freezer’s belong on the bottom. I’ve never understood why something you go to once a day would be on top or not be wide enough to hold a pizza or a cake.
I love the under-the-counter lighting: nice :nod:
The bottom freezer is really nice, I must say. Lots of room, and the door tilts forward when you pull it out all the way. I never thought I’d use the ice maker, but I’ve really been digging the crushed ice. The double oven is great, too. And the microhood is really nice, as well. The exhaust works great (got 5 speeds), and the damn thing is huge. I think I could cook a 25 pound turkey in it.
Now if SU would only keep winning.

Here let me show you some doctored photos of “Eastern Washington” and “Colorado Springs” just for fun.
“Is the salt homogeneous or heterogeneous?”
“Homogeneous.”
“No it isn’t.”
“Yes it is.”
“Throw it!”
“No.”
Was the salt pink, really? Were we looking at the same thing?
