My other brother Darrell, ex-Guv Blinky, and Bill Engvall. What a waste of hard drive space that panel was last night. At least Engvall isn’t a Climate Change denier, I’ll give him that (not that it would stop him from voting for Rick Perry). It wasn’t as bad as listening to John Fund or Grover Norquist, I guess, but still pretty lame. I was in such a hurry to delete it from my DVR, I forgot to see who’s gonna be on next week. Oh well – somebody will let me know, I’m sure.
I actually feel kinda bad for that Rapture predictor dude (can’t recall his name). I guess he’s admitted he was wrong and is now going into retirement. Since he was always wrong, it was rather comforting to know he was still out there predicting the end of the world, ‘cuz you knew that meant we were safe. But now that he says he was wrong, it might mean he’s actually right. But he can’t be right, ‘cuz he’s always wrong. But if he’s always wrong, he can’t be right, but….
At any rate, now that he’s retired, it shouldn’t be long before he croaks, what with that whole temporal compression thing.
Speaking of “retire and die,” it appears Andy Rooney is yet another example. So long, Andy. I hope, someday, to become a miserable old bastard, too (but you don’t see a lot of Irish guys make it into their 90s – maybe I’ve got enough Kraut in me to give it ago, though, based on family history, it doesn’t seem likely). I bet he used to take the train over from Colgate back when they were the big rival for Syracuse.
So, it’s Saturday, which means the weekend is just about over. There must be a shitload of things I ought to be doing, but my brain is too scrambled to think of them. Plus it’s still dark out. And I should probably get dressed first.
Oh, I know. I can make a list of all the clocks I need to set back tomorrow morning.

I think the rapture predictor is Harold Camping.

Quakes shake up state
Well I was shaken awake last night. Felt as though I was in a paint can shaking machine. The shake wasn’t at all like the California rollers I’m accustomed to feeling. Sure do wonder if it’s from all that unregulated fracking in this Okie state. You know, for that “clean” energy source, natural gas. Keep thinking the FCC should stop those tee vee commercials that extoll the virtues of natural gas by calling it clean.
Thanks for letting us know you’re OK in OK. Maybe that extra reinforcement the contractor suggested wasn’t such a bad idea. I am still thankful that DiFi retrofitted Candlestick for EQs when she was mayor.
When looking for houses, our realtor had us look at foundations because numerous houses in our area were knocked off or damaged after the okc federal building blast. We’re pretty close to it. I think you’re right though, Vern, the added support can’t hurt. I kinda think it was needed even without our added bathroom.
I go in to the new federal building for hearings. It’s tougher to get in than an international flight. I’m not complaining. That’s one instance I don’t mind the intrusion on my liberties. On a personal note, I have a special bra I wear to those hearings so I won’t trigger the detectors. :nixon:
I had the same thought, OK, that the frakking might be responsible for the earthquakes. Of course, according to the Bachmann oracle, it is God who is trying to tell us to forget the needs and the needy and concentrate on budget cuts.
