And so, another weekend is in the books. This one was kind of crappy. Cloudy, cool and windy on Saturday, but at least I was able to get the grass cut and do a lot of weed whacking. Sunday was mostly cold and rainy. The sun came out from time to time, but every time I went outside, it started raining again. So mostly I did laundry (and watched a bunch of episodes of “Through the Wormhole”). Now I have a horrible five-day week staring me in the face. This sucks.
Supposedly Obama offered the World Bank job to Mayor Mikey Bloomberg. Would have probably been a good thing for NYC, but Mayor Mike turned him down. I guess the War on Super-Size Soda was more important.
I saw a headline somewhere that said Queen Elizabeth has spent 60 years on the throne. Guess she didn’t heed the advice about not drinking the water.
Big day tomorrow, as cheese heads go to the polls in Wisconsin to see what happens with Governor Dummy. Supposedly Walker is in the lead, but it’s close. And when it’s close, it all comes down to turnout cheating. Therefore, I predict Walker will win, and get to stay in office. Then he’ll be able to turn WI into a right-to-work state, and further cripple the unions. I’m pretty disappointed in Wisconsin. First they throw Russ Feingold out, and then they elect an idiot as Governor. Oh well, no more trips to the Dells or the House on the Rock, I guess.
Oh, and f*ck the Packers, too.
Louisiana is embarking on the nation’s boldest experiment in privatizing public education, with the state preparing to shift tens of millions in tax dollars out of the public schools to pay private industry, businesses owners and church pastors to educate children.
Starting this fall, thousands of poor and middle-class kids will get vouchers covering the full cost of tuition at more than 120 private schools across Louisiana, including small, Bible-based church schools.

We are hoping for some big Thunder tonight! :banana: We need to beat the dreaded Texans on their home turf tonight so the boyz can come back home for a win! Beating the spurs 4x in a row could be tough though. The joke around here is that an OKC parade will have to be directed down whatever streets are not under construction- a one block parade? Is there a Syracuse connection in the team, pj? Usually you find something!
Well, two years ago, Etan Thomas played for them. Which surprised me, ‘cuz I had no idea the ‘sonics left Seattle, let alone that they went to OKC.
