Two days ago, this city received perhaps a quarter inch of snow and sleet. This has been followed by an unusual “cold snap” that has kept temperatures down around freezing.
Because of this, I am now enjoying my second consecutive day off from work, because the entire City of Seattle school system has been shut down by the “winter emergency.”
The local news stations are predicting an additional 1-3 inches of snow tonight, at which point I fully expect them to change their hourly “Deep Freeze ‘06” updates to “Blizzard ‘06” updates.
I may never have to work again!

In the wake of God’s Own Party’s stunning loss to the Terrorists, Dear Leader has bravely resolved to turn “Liberals into Liberalade,” generously vowing to pretend that he gives a shit what Congress thinks reach out in that spirit of bipartisanship which is his hallmark.
Alas, the Democrat Party is not interested in compromise:
At a private reception held at the White House with newly elected lawmakers shortly after the election, Bush asked Webb how his son, a Marine lance corporal serving in Iraq, was doing.
Webb responded that he really wanted to see his son brought back home, said a person who heard about the exchange from Webb.
“I didn’t ask you that, I asked how he’s doing,” Bush retorted, according to the source.
Webb confessed that he was so angered by this that he was tempted to slug the commander-in-chief, reported the source, but of course didn’t. It’s safe to say, however, that Bush and Webb won’t be taking any overseas trips together anytime soon.

This incident raises many unsettling questions, but of course, the most pressing one is why Jim Webb, decorated former Marine and Secretary of the Navy under Ronald Reagan,
hates America.
