JC, is that from the same photo that Nancy posted? How did you do that?
I’m at a Starbucks, there’s a man and woman next to me having a deep conversation. He’s telling her all about his girlfriend and all the things he finds annoying about her. She seems like she’s counseling him, but I can’t believe they’re having this kind of conversation with people all around. He’s relating incidences in bed with his girlfriend. Quite an eaves dropping session for me.

That’s why I miss Chicago, Deborah. The conversations here in Hickistan are never as interesting. People here are equally unreserved, but instead of their sex lives and drug usage they talk about their politics and religion.

No Deborah, it’s a photo I took a while back here in Atlanta’s Little Five Points neighborhood, a place which is pretty well summed up with the visual of staples and old cigarettes. And tattoos, piercings, pot and stale beer.

Whoa. Still up at 5:10. Pogo the Black Labrador Retriever backed out of her harness and again went on a jaunt. I so much appreciate the local Bryan, Ohio night police officers; they are so good in helping. I can barely walk at all on the icy, snowy streets and walkways and the cop and I went off looking for Pogo in our cars, coordinated by the police dispatcher. After a calm search of nearly an hour, my dog was ready to give up and the policeman grabbed her collar and walked her right up to my van. I am so apreciative of his help…this is the 2nd time in two years I had to enlist police help to capture my bolting pet.

Glad Pogo’s safely at home! And wonderful to hear the police are so helpful.
We got a proper bit of snow here yesterday, preceded by 2″ of slush. Thankfully, I have the best wife ever, who kept shoveling the slush, so all we had today was 8″of wind-sculpted snow to clear. I’m not able to get out of my street until the plow comes through, which is usually around 4. Sadly, I will miss the funeral of a former co-worker who died suddenly on Sunday at age 57. I am thankful I can work from home today.

tree artisan — Despite the fact that the City is in the process of privitizing trash pick-up, it is holding a “jobs fair.” A co-worker was browsing the title offerings and came across “tree artisan.” a title neither one of us could interpret. I thought maybe it had something to do with topiaries, not that the city maintains any topiaries, So we had to open up the job description – requirements are experience in pruning or removing trees, removing stumps and general landscaping…. So a job as a tree pruner but to call the work Artisan… That’s weird.

So Ted Nugent called the president a “subhuman mongrel” and later apologized to all the subhuman mongrels he’d insulted by comparing them to the President. Conservatives are complaining that liberal’s are giving Nugent a hard time but won;t admit that they’ve insulted conservatives like Sarah Palin just as badly. I’ve heard Sarah Palin called many things – quitter, half-term governor, ignorant, a demagog, a gritter and maybe even “ignorant slut” but perhaps I’ve missed a few. As anyone anywhere called Sarah Palin a word on par with “subhuman mongrel”?

Sarah Palin is a sometime celebrity and sometime TV commentator. Mr. Obama is the President of the United States. I think there is a difference.

basset – of course you’re right; except that Ted Nugent – who has essentially threatened the life of the president of the United States (a criminal act) – was an invited guest at the last State of the Union address before the Congress of the United States, plus the Supremes.
Like it or not, our gaze should turn toward what this man says, and (indeed) why some elements of the elected (presumably therefore ‘main-stream’) Republican contingent within the United States Congress feels the need to cater to nihilistic hate-mongers

It’s that Nugent is the invited speaking guest of the Republican gubernatorial candidate for Texas. People are talking about what he’s saying because he’s been designated a spokesman from the Governor-wanna-be.
