It’s a balmy 20° out there this morning, and they say it’s going to get up to 37 today. That, of course, means we’re going to get punished: snow this morning, and sleet/freezing rain to end the work day. Should be nice. Tomorrow is supposed to be in the mid-forties, and Wednesday the mid-fifties. Then things gradually return to normal. Still it’ll be nice to get the driveway cleared of snow (somebody’s been a little lax in plowing; I blame it on the high cost of diesel).
I hear that a group of eight “bipartisan” Senators have come up with a plan for immigration reform. They’re supposed to announce the details today that will include the vaunted “path to citizenship.” That’s nice, and hopefully it’ll all work out. I just hope it doesn’t turn out to be something along the lines of how Germans treats the Turks – cheap labor and less than second-class non-citizenship. Still, if it keeps the price of grapes, lettuce, and apples cheap, I’m all for it.
After that, let’s legalize dope everywhere.
But first, it’s time to get ready for work. It’s really such a godawful waste of time. If I was working from home today, I’d already be at my virtual desk. As it is, I won’t get in until 6:30 or so. Maybe later if the weather sucks. I see by the radar that the morning snow is almost upon us.
Birther queen Orly Taitz wants to round up her supporters to take a road trip to Washington next month to lobby Congress and protest President Barack Obama’s State of the Union Address.
Taitz announced on her website Monday morning that once in Washington, she plans to argue that Obama has used fake identification in his two successful campaigns for the presidency. She is timing the road trip for Obama’s Feb. 12 address to a joint session of Congress, and has sketched out a plan that she said would battle the “corrupt” officials who have blocked her quest to overturn Obama’s election.
Taitz said that she wanted supporters to picket the Capitol, White House, Supreme Court and media outlets, as well as arrange meetings with members of Congress to push for a congressional investigation into the source of Obama’s Social Security number. She claims that 18,000 people have signed an online petition in support of a congressional investigation.
