Still a lot of work to do around here, so there’s only time for a quick look at today’s talking schmucks.
Press the Meat has Governor Oily Barbour, DINO Mary Landrieu, Ed Markey, former Shell Oil President John Hofmeister, Katty Kay of the BBC, and the man who gets to decide how to spend BP’s $20 billion, Ken Feinberg.
On Faze the Nation, it’s the Senator whose hair isn’t up to Carly Fiorina’s standards, Barbara Boxer, Republican Congresscritter Joseph Cao, Bill Nelson of Florida, and the aptly named Dick Shelby.
Fux News Sunday will have Defense Secretary Robert Gates, ferret-face Mitch McConnell, “Power Player of the Week” Janine Turner (remember her?), and a whole bunch of fuxheads.
At the Goebbels network they’ll have slimeball Rahm Emanuel, plus a roundtable with mushmouth Greta Van Susteren, George :jerk: Will, Michel Martin, and Richard Haass of the Council on Foreign Relations.
Over at CNN, Fareed Zakaria tells us we need to stop being so mean to big oil, ‘cuz, let’s face it, we’re just a big oily bunch, and that’s not gonna change anytime soon. Then Fareed talks Afghanistan with Afghan opposition leader (and head of the Afghanistan’s Department of Redundancy Department) Abdullah Abdullah. Plus scumbag neo-con mastermind Paul Wolfowitz will tell us what’s wrong with Obama’s foreign policy (hint: he hasn’t invaded any new countries), and some rich Chinese woman tells us how to make a whole lotta yuan (from putting melamine in dog food and antifreeze in toothpaste, no doubt) ? And, finally, St. John McCain wants more regime change in the Middle East (let me guess, “bomb, bomb Iran?”).
To all the dads out there, Happy Father’s Day. If you’re dad is still around, do something nice for him today.
OK, back to work. Lots to do before True Blood.
Happy Fathers Dy to all. We’re headed for New Mexico. Vern, did you say Cheney is in Maryland? I need to know when to duck.
thanks for the neat ongoing geology diary by SueP.
I recommend the book “Basin & Range” by John McPhee, best described as a geologists travelogue.
Paul Wolfowitz? Cool. I have some combs that need moistened.

I’m lucky if I can get 5 Kb/s out here.
Thanks. Beautiful pix.
Love those eagles.
Beautiful! Any Osprey up your way?
What did you all think of the Jim Norton interview?
We have made it to Albuquerque but not with out drama. Part of our route took us on 550 through the Colorado mountains. The road is one lane in each direction. At its best there are hairpin turns and a 2 foot shoulder before a sheer drop. Then there was a sign that warned: road narrows which meant NO shoulder, just that sheer drop and of course those turns.
To say I was unnerved doesn’t quite describe the horror. I really couldn’t look down and, being an old atheist, making bargains with God to get us safely to the bottom was out of the question.
Hubby swore he was fine. But after each completed twist of the road I could hear him sigh with relief.
Thanks, Web. I’ll look it up when we get home.
SueP- Thank the great clould being in the sky that you and yours made it savely over “The Milliondollar HIghway” between Silverton and Ouray. That’s one of the scariest highways in Colorado. Every few years a snowplow goes over the edge and is found in the spring. Silverton gets snowed in a lot in the wintertime- maybe because of a lack of snowplow drivers. :omg: :cold:
Absolutely beautiful country though. There’s a steam engine that goes from Durango to Silverton in the summer. Try that sometime- I loves the steam-engines :doh:
When I lived in Albuqurque we used to go to Jemez Springs north of there to go skinny-dipping. :boobs:
Yeah, there’s some sea hawks here. I didn’t take any pics though. Maybe the next time I’m docked I’ll try to get a few shots.
We’re back out in the fishing grounds now and anchored until 3:00 am tomorrow. I hope we hit the motherload soon or I’ll have to jump ship. I guess the season doesn’t heat up until July when we can fish away from Sitka Sound.
