    Think I just heard Obama on his way to visit flooded Paterson. The Garden State Parkway runs just past my house and there was a cavalcade of sirens going by a few minutes ago.

    @freelancer (iPhone):

    Yeah, what’s up? I’ve got the usual dismal Nationals and Orioles games, golf and U.S. Open tennis, and there is a Colts-Bengals game on the NFL Channel, but it’s not clear that it’s live.

    Oh, yeah, Mexico and Chile are playing soccer on Univision.

    @Steeplejack: I think JC just wanted to change the subject. Or something. Since I’ve been labeled insufficiently pure now I guess all I can do is pick on border collies and play with horses. Have fun, I’ll check in later.

    Those are purty. But they look hungry. Someone will identify them within 10 posts. I’m not an entomologist but they resemble a butterfly caterpillar I’ve seen.

    @jeffreyw: They look like the tomato horned worms that destroyed my tomato crop 2 years ago.
    Mine were green but the exact same structure as those.

    @jeffreyw: nice pic. I’m pretty sure they are the caterpillars of the black swallowtail butterfly. They like everything in the same family: fennel, carrots, parsley and dill. I’ve had some luck planting a patch of parsley just for them and moving the little guys out of my veggie garden to the butterfly patch. They are pretty when they grow up

    Maybe they could project an image of the butterfly on the scoreboard at the WV game and the Eer fans could help identify it?

    Goodbye to All That: Reflections of a GOP Operative Who Left the Cult
    Saturday 3 September 2011
    by Mike Lofgren

    I found that via Benen. It’s long and I’m half way through. Pretty damning coming from a 28 year GOP operative. Too long for the attention span of most but lotsa juicy quotes that should get circulated.

    @Omnes Omnibus: Your lack of purity on some level will be sussed out. My guess is it will relate to you still supporting the Kenyan usurper in the White House. Because that’s really what it’s all about amirite?

    @Corner Stone:

    Read them or get out!

    Hey, I’m busy reading the original source article, so back off!

    This sort of begs the question if the GOP has been as evil and undemocratic as he says, and for so long, why has he worked for them for 28 years.

    And I apologize to everyone if that was already mentioned in comment #238 4 posts back.

    Two new conferences for the BJFL!

    One on Yahoo, will follow rules similar to last year’s leagues and this year’s Elitist Meritocracy Conference:

    Password is alsotoo

    Another league on ESPN.com, will use an auction draft (don’t ask me, I’m not the commissioner there!) and maybe some other different rules:

    No Such Thing as UWV. It’s WVU, has been since foundation of school. Although I have seen the un-informed call it UWV.

    You’re allowed to hate it, if you’re from Pitt, PSU, VPI… South Carolina, whatever.
