Speaking of republicans, is there a way for a political party to declare intellectual bankruptcy?

Mediocre white men think RFK Jr’s pathetic midlife crisis is inspirational. The bar is set so low for them, it’s subterranean.

When someone says they “love freedom”, rest assured they don’t mean yours.

So many bastards, so little time.

Authoritarian republicans are opposed to freedom for the rest of us.

    Dang it! We were supposed to visit my aunt and uncle in Beckley, but she called Thursday night and told us about the forecast, so we decided to stay home. We live in SW Ohio and we got a stunning one and a half inches of snow Friday night. But they were expecting fourteen inches overnight there and an additional 3-5 today. Is that still holding up, John?

    My folks left early Friday to get there and they made it before the snow started, but by three o’clock the snow was rolling in. I wonder if they’ll be able to leave Sunday…

    How does Lily like it?

    Calling for 12 to 20 here. And it’s really coming down now.

    The retailers must be freaking out – the last weekend before Christmas and the east coast is going to be completely snowed in. The War on Christmas continues unabated! Apparently even the Baby Jeezus doesn’t want us to shop.

    I still want my snowball fight at the Capitol. We can re-enact the health care debate. I figure there will be some observers catcalling, a good intra-mural set of snowballers, and a whiny kid that will get picked on.

    I had an awful dream that it turned to rain. If (like me) your mental age is 12, you won’t be surprised that I scrambled out of bed and you can imagine my relief when I looked out the window. Still can’t find the fucking snow shoes though.

    This is awesome. Fuck shopping, go sledding.

    and a whiny kid that will get picked on.

    Someone tell Joe “Stage Slut” Lieberman that a camera crew is on the Mall interviewing people about health care. When he comes scurrying out you’ll have your whiny kid.

    So it looks like about 6 inches so far, but it is coming down in those little itty flakes that just never stop, so I would not be surprised if we get ten inches or so.

    Lily loved it, ran all over the place, and then, after about 5 minutes, decided her feet were cold and ran to the door and waited for me to let her in.

    Feh. I’m scheduled to fly to Boston this afternoon to visit the parents, and a late afternoon/early evening snowstorm hitting the area is *not* what I wanted to hear about. 6 or 12 hours later, sure. But not right at my estimated arrival time.

    Betsy the cocker spaniel and I just came in from a long walk in the hills. The problem for me is not getting up the hill, but getting down. She’s 12, but acts like 2 when the snow gets above her toes. I had a heck of a time keeping pace with her. Lots of snow still coming down.

    It’s impossible to know what’s already been scanned. This sort of broke in late October of this year, depending on what blogs or feeds you read. (There was also a boomlet in mid-November.) I discovered it today.

    But I thought in light of this week’s contentiousness, it would lighten up the mood.

    @The Grand Panjandrum: The temperature here (Atlanta burb) is 40 degrees higher.
    @John Cole: Maybe Santa will bring booties for her to wear outside in the snow.

    Miss Moxie has been hyper since I put up the tree. She’s about ten years old and has been behaving like a pup. As I wrap a package she gives it a sniff and walks away. The other day I went to my closet and had purchased a sweater for my son and a stuffed animal for her. Both were in a shopping bag. The bag with the sweater was on the floor and the stuffed animal was missing. She found it and hid it in the guest bedroom..

    North Carolina got hit hard and 78,000 are without power. You are misssing all the fun.
    The weather jerks crank it up to eleventy eleven and just about everyone goes to the store and buys things as if they will be snowed in out in the wilderness for the duration.

    Quite chilly here with white sky. Some old snow still on the ground. Stay safe everyone in the storm areas.

    Unbelieveable how people run to the store before storms. Once you’ve been hit, wouldn’t you prepare for the possibility to have it happen again?

    The big “take your leashed dog shopping” store has a brand of shoes for dogs called Mut-Lucks, that work very well. They close with velcro & the bottoms have something on them for traction.

    My German shepherd got a nail fungus that went on for 4 months. Her feet (all 4) were in bandages due to the nail loss & we had to use them. She eventually learned to take them off, but tape cures that. They are very sturdy & will keep ice & snow from Lily’s delicate feet.

    A relative is supposed to fly to MN from NYCity this afternoon. I hope his flight is still on schedule.
    Searching for a dog toy. Years ago we bought 2 basketballs on a tug rope for our large dogs & now we can’t find this toy. It’s a full size basketball with nylon band surrounding it & a rope at each end. I have found the Kaiser Action Ball offical size basketball w/tug rope online on uk or au sites but so far no dog toy sites here that carry this anymore. This has been a toy that has held up for at least 10 years outdoors through MN winters & vigorous dog play. The basketballs are still fine but the ropes & nylon band surrounding them are finally wearing out.

    One wonders what happens when Nelson says he’ll support the reconciliation, and Holy Joe says he objects to not allowing insurance companies being allowed to sel insurance across state lines.. (Which he didn’t two weeks ago.) And then Nelson says there are problems with not giving enough money to insurance companies, so we gotta pay extra.

    And the White House will says that’s too bad, but you know, no big thing, here, let’s cut out all the states, and allow insurance companies to sell insurance across states lines. And throw in increasing the Medicare age and reducing the subsidies and allow recissions.

    Eventually it’ll be the Republican bill they proposed back in September, except that they’ll add a provision allowing all little kids to get free care for their hamsters. And everybody will vote for it anyways, since it doesn’t cost anything.

    Anyways, exactly 11 1/2 inches of snow and still snowing. The fun part was find the shovel and the rake, which were in the back, under the snow.

    They can now, through the FEHBP. Considering the exchanges are based on the FEHBP, I’d figure they probably will be able to in the exchanges.

    Not that it’s an issue, since even with the skullfucking Lieberman’s given it, the new federal regulations (particularly on insurance plans on the exchange) will be stronger than existing state regulations. Minnesota had some strong regulations on the money insurers spent on care, but Franken’s put in an amendment to bring the national plan up to the same level. Selling across state lines won’t change the game much.

    In certain ways it will help, because it means the exchange will work from a single risk pool rather than a whole heap of small ones. But don’t tell Lieberman that.

    I have a question for all you doggie adopters out there:

    Is it normal for a dog rescue organization to-

    Charge nearly 200 dollars for a dog?(not a purebred)

    Require me to give not only two personal references but also give my neighbors’ contact info(I don’t deal with my neighbors because they all go to the local GOP/Fundie megachurch and they won’t talk to us. This year they put up their Nativity scenes BEFORE freaking Halloween with all kinds of Bible verses about Satan plastered everywhere. I stuck a pumpkin in their manger,heh),and fill out a three page application that looks like I’m applying for a high level government job?

    I realize they want and need to find good homes for these dogs,I totally get that,but is this a normal thing or am I surrounded by freaks?

    You can’t really stop lemmings from running off the cliff. The polls say a bill like that will stink on ice with democratic voters, but it’s obvious they’re going to do it anyway. I think the Democrats are in for a surprise next year when they trot it out as a victory, but we’ll see.

    No snow here…kinda cool that has to be specified for Houston this year…but for us, a little chilly (in the 40s). When it is chilly, the Lab turns very puppyish, both outside and inside the house. An 80 lb “puppy” with a strong tail can do a lot of damage to the decor, as well as the children.

    @A Mom Anon: There are several rescue operations. Most dogs are already spayed and there shots are up to date. Last time I checked at the rescue that was set up out side of Pet’s Mart, the fee was $350. Not sure why though. Most places you pay just the fees incurred and some over head. I’ve always had full bred dogs and I have to admit the mutt sitting next to me is pretty special. You definitely want a rescue that has been seen by a vet to insure good health.

    There’s a really big snowstorm coming to D.C.tonight. It would be unsafe to ask all the staffers and Hill employees who’d be needed at the Capitol if Congress stays open all hours this weekend, as Harry Reid intends, to drive to and from work–especially since many will have to do so at night, and they won’t be well-rested. So from the point of view of public safety and personal well-being, Ben Nelson can do everyone a favor, announce today he won’t vote for cloture, and let everyone stay home this weekend.

    Hmm. Well, if Bill Kristol is always wrong, does this mean that any Senator who stays away from the Capital is doomed to be hit by an asteroid or choke to death on a latke?

    What I do know is from a friend co-worker when she got into the adopt a pet rescue organizing about a year ago. She goes to the homes of the adopters to evaluate if the home and residents are up to having a pet inside and outside. She has asked me on several occasions about a neighborhood I would be familiar with. I know she has only driven through a street and rejected the adoption right away.

I chanced a heart attack* shoveling what has fallen since it started before midnight (it’s noon as I write this), and as I finished the single-width track across the front of the house, I looked back to see a good half-inch covering where I started. We’re planning on hitting it about once an hour, to keep up.

    The TV weather reporters are using skis while doing on-the-spot reporting, and the cameras have melted snow drops running down the lenses. And the wind is starting to pick up.

    We’re staying in this evening (duh!), and plan to decorate the tree and start the annual Christmas cookie production line. We had planned on going to (and helping run) a Nowell Sing We Clear concert this afternoon, but that’s off (thank God!), so it’s a low-key weekend for us.

    i forgot, drivers in northern virginia don’t know how to drive when the weather’s nice, add 2 feet of snow and it becomes a hot mess. had to dig out some young israeli dudes who didn’t know that laying on the accelerator only gets you stuck more. ugh.

    @valdivia:

    WMATA now saying they hope to have everything back to normal by rush hour Monday morning, but there is some hedging in their verbiage. I think it’s just too soon to know. It’s still snowing hard (1-2″ per hour) and is supposed to continue all day. So at this point we don’t even know how much snow we’re going to end up with, but everything has already shut down.

    It’s starting to snow in NYC. The wind is picking up. (I forgot to buy myself some chocolate this morning… do I dare go out now?)

    I just spoke with my mom who is in Beckley, WV. They have twenty inches of snow on the ground with a chance for more. The bad news is that there are thousands of people without power and some folks have been stranded in that area of the Turnpike for twelve hours.

    I am SO glad we decided to stay home instead of trying to drive there!
