Good morning.

Good Blizzardy Morning, Y’all. I am getting a bit of a late start and am now waiting on the coffee pot to finish its work.

If I had a hammer, I’d put it with my sickle.

At any rate, today I’ll apologize for a number of things, such as thinking that Stalin was merely a “hard driver” and not a “supremely cruel misleader.” I guess anyone who calls himself a Christian should be prepared to apologize for the Inquisition, the burning of heretics by Protestants, the slaughter of Jews and Muslims by Crusaders. White people in the U.S.A. ought to apologize for stealing land from Native Americans and enslaving blacks. Europeans could apologize for worldwide conquests, Mongolians for Genghis Khan. And supporters of Roosevelt could apologize for his support of Somoza, of Southern White Democrats, of Franco Spain, for putting Japanese Americans in concentration camps. Who should my granddaughter Moraya apologize to? She’s part African, part European, part Chinese, part Japanese, part Native American. Let’s look ahead. — Pete Seeger
Well Petey, no Christian alive today is personally responsible for the Inquisition or Crusades. No white person alive in the USA today stole land from the Indians or enslaved blacks. No Mongolian today ever raped and pillaged with Genghis Khan. YOU, on the other hand, are directly and personally responsible for a lifetime of hawking your failed communist ideology on multiple generations of misguided youth, and now, your day of reckoning has arrived.

OK as of 5:10 today I know for a fact that there is NO HOPE for this once great country! I got a text from NASA/JSC that since the temperature will be below 29 degrees and raining, the site will be shut down tomorrow!!!! Beam me up Scotty, there is NO intelligent life down here!!!
BTW; What do you wanna’ bet that my trash will be picked up tomorrow? I know that it WILL be picked up, they may run late but they will pick it up. Even though I was Annexed @ gun point by the Peoples Republic of Houston a while back, we got to keep our private garbage company, and guess what, it is better and cheaper than what our Gay mayor has to offer. -

Hey, those horses are either performance critics making up their minds, or they’re waiting for supper to be delivered. Or both, if this is a dinner theater. 🙂 -

…we got to keep our private garbage company, it is better and cheaper than what our Gay mayor has to offer.
In the traditional sense of the word, she’s not very gay, in fact she’s downright angry most of the time (but her shoes are comfortable). But, in fairness to the City of Houston, we don’t pay a fee for garbage service so yours can’t be cheaper unless their paying you for your garbage.

Good morning Hamsters. Chilly and windy 36 at 6 but no precip. Temp has commenced dropping, now 35 and more blustery with a few drops on the patio. Caution is the watchword today. Weather is fickle.
Is anyone going to do penance and chain him/herself to the TV to watch the State of the Union Show fiasco tonight? Not I. My sock drawer needs rearranging. -

Me either. I scheduled that boil implant I’ve been putting off all year.

I can’t. Like Chevy Chase said, “I have to go, I have a thing” while glancing at his wrist with no watch on it.

We know horses only pay that kind of attention when there is food involved somehow. The dancing girl must have some kind of treats concealed in that outfit. -

One has to really wonder how someone that stupid and unethical could ever get appointed to the bench.
The possibility of an Elizabeth Coker presiding over a trial anywhere is reason enough alone to justify even the most obnoxious defense attorneys.
The dumb b*tch doesn’t even admit she did anything wrong and is now running for DA. It’s appalling. -
Once in a while, despite being a left-wing water boy, Barry Ritholtz can manage to make a good point. Unfortunately, this is not one of those times.

These people, Tax Analysts, are non-partisan tax researchers and reporters. They’ve spent their own time and money doing the hard work on the Obama administration’s IRS scandal over conservative non-profit approvals. FOIA requests and suing the feds costs money.
They are worth following and if you are inclined, send them a thanks for what they do.
Also, remember Paul Caron at TaxProf.com who has posted 263 consecutive days on his website about continuing developments in the IRS cesspool. The guy’s a hero. -
Going to venture up to Washington County. Carefully.

This debate is no longer about whether global warming is real (it is) or whether humans are the most likely cause (you are)
Yeah, when an article starts off with this premise as the basis for an argument I tend to stop reading.

The old Reagan catchphrase calling for non-action — don’t just do something, stand there — has never been more apt.

Re Adee Keeping The Horses Warm, something about the dancer was “nagging” at me. There is more than a hint of gangnam in her technique.

But, in fairness to the City of Houston, we don’t pay a fee for garbage service so yours can’t be cheaper unless their paying you for your garbage.
It can’t be free so does it come out of the taxes on your house or is it included in the water bill like it is in Alabama? If it comes out of the property tax then I pay for my garbage twice same with the water bill. My garbage comes out of the CIA fees, which very low @ $295 and we have a pool to maintain. FWIW; When Houston stole our MUD district they doubled my water bill and starting taxing me without providing any other service.

Really? Ya don’t pay any taxes? Hell’s belles I am moving next door to you.
-
no fee for garbage? Hammy’s been an LIV all this time and nobody knew?? 🙂
-
That KHOU reporter is still standing out in the rain at the Brenham Jack In The Box.
-
Hammy is correct. There is no itemized city bill for garbage pickup or for recycling pickup. The latter has not been available in all neighborhoods, only those where some data they had about the residents indicated they would put out recyclables at a high enough percentage to make it worthwhile to send the truck. At some point CoH says they will do single-stream recycling from one bin.

In case any of you missed my news late last night, Meglet had her baby just a few weeks early. Isaiah Nolan was born yesterday morning around tennish. Meg’s Hubby and Mommy are frantically rearranging the home for the baby, since he wasn’t expected quite yet and they obviously were taking their time putting up the playpen, crib, moving the master bed, etc. (All according to her FB post, anyway.)
So, Meg, I don’t know if you lurk or if you’ve moved permanently over to FB, but I’ll add my Couch congratulations to my FB ones. Enjoy motherhood, no matter how rushed! You and your hubby will be great parents, if you just relax and enjoy every moment. Especially now, while he’s so tiny. These moments, when he’s just this little ball of wonderfulness, passes way too quickly!
Cuz when they start to crawl… -

Congratulations Meglet! Drop by and see us sometime. 😉

I went out about 8 to
the Leper ColonyFood Town and picked up a baking hen to make chicken n dumplin’s. Made the 5 mile round trip without any problems, twern’t killed. I’ve got the hen in the crock pot slow cooking. -
Well, this doesn’t shock me!
96 Percent of Dems Who Support Minimum Wage Hike Don’t Pay Their InternsLiberals are really pushing raising the minimum wage for 2014. … Yet, a new study from the Employment Policies Institute (EPI) has exposed the proponents of raising the minimum wage of their “hypocrisy.” It seems that 96% of Democrats who support such measures don’t pay their interns.
The abstract of the EPI study noted that “the same Members of Congress who are supporting a 40% wage hike on private sector employers are simultaneously failing to provide any wages to their own employee interns.”And as for that “War on Women” thing?
Last year, I wrote for Newsbusters about how the media rail about the gender wage gap, but seem to ignore that the Obama White House paid their female staffers 88.3% of what their male ones earn.
Furthermore, then-Washington Free Beacon reporter Andrew Stiles reported in May 2012 that the female members of the Senate Democratic Caucus are some of the worst offenders concerning the gender wage gap.
“Female members of Murray’s staff made about $21,000 less per year than male staffers in 2011, a difference of 33.8 percent,” reported Stiles.
Additionally, “a significant ‘gender gap’ exists in Feinstein’s office, where women also made about $21,000 less than men in 2011, but the percentage difference—41 percent—was even higher than Murray’s. Boxer’s female staffers made about $5,000 less, a difference of 7.3 percent.” -
I didn’t say we don’t pay for garbage service. I said there’s not a separate fee for it. My point being, Super Dave is paying the exact same taxes I am AND he’s paying for private garbage service. In essence he’s paying for garbage service twice.
-
#41 Amen to that!

Working from home with a sick child is very different from trying to work from home when the entire family is at home too! During the past two hours I have seen it sleet twice. The first time the sleet melted after sitting on the patio table for about 5 minutes. It looks like this time it is sticking around.
-
I see sliver of blue sky over towards Lake Somerville.
-
I thought I heard sleet hitting our windows a couple of times. Don’t know that it’s sticking, though.
-
Lots of sleet in the barrio. Even a few snowflakes on occasion. The footbridge over the ditch in our parking lot is iced over. Time to cancel work 😉
-
WB must have hacked the site and removed his picture.

Okay, geekoids – I have to use IE for certain COH web sites, and every time I try to open it, it closes on me. Open – close immediately. Any ideas?

Sleet has started and ended here in the sticks. Cave entrance is slicker than a greased nickel in a (oh wait can’t say that). BSue urinated me off by going to work this AM. Remember she drives to Herman from here and the weather heads have said that it is supposed to get colder yet causing the bridges to ice. Needless to say i am praying for her safety which may include spending the night in her office at the hospital.

Clear your internet cache, turn off Internet Exploder and turn it back on. Hope this helps, always works for my BSue. -
Squarks:
Yes I pay taxes. Yes obviously my taxes are paying for the CoH trucks that pick up garbage, recycling and heavy trash. The issue was, how can you know how much garbage pickup costs when there is no itemized bill for it? -

Ah, I’ve rebooted completely. Would that be enough? -

Any ideas?

Houston rated number 41 on the list of 100.
I can’t believe those godless heathens in DFW made #22.America, you may have a new Sodom and Gomorrah.
The two least “Bible-minded” cities in the United States are the adjacent metros of Providence, R.I., and New Bedford, Mass., according to a study out Wednesday from the American Bible Society.
The study defines “Bible-mindedness” as a combination of how often respondents read the Bible and how accurate they think the Bible is. “Respondents who report reading the bible within the past seven days and who agree strongly in the accuracy of the Bible are classified as ‘Bible Minded,’” says the study’s methodology. -
#51 Don’t worry, they’re just exceptionally pedantical today. Must be the weather.

Sprinkles off and on, 31 and windy. Icicles forming on the fence rails, ice on the house roof and tree leaves, just wet on the sidewalk and drive.
My friend in Austin called shortly after 10 this morning to find out what Houston was experiencing, as she heard it was pretty much shut down. She related that the Austin area was somewhat surprised to have freezing rain, sleet, and snow early this morning that left ice forming on roads and highways just at rush hour. People already at work and those trying to get there became marooned where they were because of it. Austin and environs were icy and cold (21 this morning). Some school districts closed, but not all at first. She lives off 290 a ways beyond Oak Hill heading toward Dripping Springs. Apparently the powers that be with Dripping Springs ISD were unaware of conditions until several school bus drivers informed them that it was darned icy out there as they deposited their charges at one school, and the schools were then closed for the day. ‘Cept the children already there are sorta marooned with whatever staff also made it there until road conditions improve so they can go home. Bet that school will be a lively place today. 🙂 -

We only have one 17,000-seat church.
Don’t they have about twenty?
🙂 -
Not really surprised to hear that Austin and environs is still not well coordinated for winter ice response. I worked in downtown Austin for about 5 years and most of the approaches to the building I worked in were quite hilly. There was never any sanding. You were on your own to see if you could drive the hills, and of course you couldn’t without chains on your tires. Several times I parked on a level street several blocks away and then walked to work. At least one of those times, I had no sooner got there than I heard we were closed for the day. This was in the olden times before instant mobile communications had been invented.
-
We were told to stay home today. Partly in response to a huge internal push for safe driving (due to some less-then-intelligent drivers in the ME) and the abundance of tall bridges on most approaches to the office.
-
Don’t mess with Texas!
Love that Bill Whittle!
PS: Just got back from lunch with Hubby. Streets are fine, but the stop signs sure look cold. I was especially careful on our steps, which are coated with ice. I was delayed in meeting Hubby ‘cuz I had to scrape ice off the car. -
#51 Don’t worry, they’re just exceptionally pedantical today. Must be the weather.
Damn Cialis.
-
Sounds like Austin needs some new weather forecasters if they didn’t know this was coming.
-
For those of you who plan on inflicting pain upon yourselves tonight. I wonder what the ratings will be like? Very few people believe anything he says anymore.
-
Maybe we can trade ours for Austin’s. It seems most of us in the Houston area could have safely made it to work today. It is funny how we collectively react to weather. Katrina did a number on N.O. so we abandoned Houston in droves at the coming of Rita. Not enough people stayed home last Friday and there were 500+ wrecks in the area. Today we all sat at home while the roadways were fine.
-
#67 If I did that I would not be able to make it into the office tomorrow either.

Not that I drink, nor do I watch TBO, but what are the rules for tonight’s drinking game? I suggest:
1 drink for:
– every time he blames Bush
– every time he points out a victim in the gallery
– every time he mentions the plight of the illegals
– every time he criticizes the Supreme Court
– every spending program he mentions
– “let me be clear”
– every time he praises Obamacare
2 drinks for:
– every time he blames the Republicans for holding up legislation / gridlock / resistance
– every time he says “the economy is better / improving”
– every Tea Party reference; this includes “extreme wings/members of the Republican party”
3 drinks for:
– playing the race card in any form – blacks, hispanic, or martians
– Benghazi reference
– F&F reference
– IRS targeting conservative groups references
– every time he says he will circumvent Congress / bend the Constitutional rules
Democrats have to finish their glasses if:
– Obama takes responsibility for Benghazi – like mentioning someone getting fired, etc.
I am sure that the drinking host will be arranging taxis and rides for those participating in the drinking games, since all participants will be snockered within a half hour. -
I think I’ll watch reruns of Sabado Gigante.
-
I’ll have to look for the official SOTU bingo card. I’m sure there’s one out there somewhere.
Of course, I’ll be watching someone else, so I guess it doesn’t matter. -

Yes it’s all about the media hype and the people’s reaction to it. The boss’s Aggie wife mentioned Texas A&M at Galveston shut down while the campus in College Station did not. -
I been having some fun with Michael Berry’s Wrap Your Pipes! parody with all the texts and calls around work with people wanting to shut it down. 😛
-
Wonder if anything will come of this idea?

Did I kill the blog? I cannot believe all you Hamsters are watching SOTU.
-
I’m watching The Incredible Dr. Pol. He’s fixin’ to castrate three miniature horses and a donkey.
-
I got caught up on FB and I haven’t done my evening exercise set yet, so I’m off to do that. I’ll check back later to see if anyone has news, like the R’s all got up and walked out. Ha.
-
I was cooking dinner, then watched some Storage Wars, and then came upstairs to work in the office. My internet connection is suffering from some kind of malaise, making certain functions difficult.
-
I ended up watching America’s Most Evil Gangsters on the bio channel.
Somehow appropriate. -
Just checked on FB to see what the pundits were posting about SOTU, and was pleased to find a post from a young woman I know. Gorgeous gal, late 20’s or early 30’s, married with 2 young children. Posting bitter criticism of ObamaCare’s impact on her family and getting copious and also bitter responses from 5 of her friends that I don’t know. All but one seem to be the same young, successful middle-class demographic. It is good to see for myself that some of our young people are neither dopes nor zombies.
-
My sock drawer is reorganized. Then we watched a Netflix movie. Spouse did bedcheck on the mares around 9:30 and gave them their hay and treats. I watched the delayed news because of the SOTU show and covered the plants on the back porch.
There will surely be plenty of feedback tomorrow morning on the fiasco tonight.
