Looks like the the rise, fall, re-rise, and re-fall of Newt Gingrich is now in progress in Iowa. And the Newt is starting to get a little nasty. Don’t discount the possibility of another rise, though. He does resemble the Pillsbury Dough Boy, after all. The poor Republicans are so darn confused, there’s actually a “Santorum Surge” (I would advise you to not Goolge that term) going on, too. Why we’re supposed to care who a handful of Iowans think ought to be the Prez is beyond me. Especially with this bullshit process they have. And there are more important things to worry about anyway. For instance, did you know that Katy Perry (I think that’s how you spell it; I’m not actually familiar with her, though she looks kinda cute) and some guy I never heard of are getting divorced. Plus, did you know Pippa had a New Year’s party, and Prince Harry threw snowballs and has resolved to climb Mount Everest this year? I think Harry is just plain dreamy. Except I’m not quite sure which one he is. Something to do with Hogwarts, I think.

Looks like the guy in the episode of the Twilight Zone that Billy Mumy turned into a Jack-in-the-Box.
The local retro TV station uses some of that Billy Mumy episode a lot in its station promos.
OKat likes hats.
Yesterday it was nearly 60. The breeze was light and pleasant. People were spending the first day of 2012 sitting on their lawns and porches on Shelter Island. Today it is 37. Cold and windy here in Brooklyn.
Santorum Salad.
There’s a photo of it. Looks, dare I say, “frothy.”
You know, this could be an opportunity for Tony Joe White to update his song.
Santorum Salad Ricky. Gator got your…
That is an unfortunate looking santorum salad. Unfortunately but aptly named.
Hey, thanks for the hat info! Fabulous!
Back to work tomorrow. Sure enjoyed doing nothing productive except jigsaw puzzles and snow shoeing.
