Hey, it's snowing like a MoFo here this morning. Anybody else feel like Liam today?...yeah, I thought so.

Cruel Winter
I know that I often post a lot of junk out here but some of it has real meaning and depth. This Op-Ed from today's New York Times is such an animal.
A must read and a beautifully crafted bit of writing.
Luckovich
Goodness knows Obama must be feeling this way by about now. What else could possibly unravel at this point?
Counter Point
Well, I found a nice rebuttal to my previous post. Go sign up and do something. I've signed up to donate blood at one of the numerous drives slated for the 19th.

Steven Waldman
This is a completely correct observation. Why is this not been mentioned in the planning that has been announced?
Just Say No
As many of you know I am a big fan of the squirrel. I find it wholly unacceptable that this is a burgeoning trend among the gourmet set in the UK.
No to squirrel feasting!

Wish List
Our less-than-two-weeks-away President Elect would do well to have a gander at the ideas espoused on the link to The World Question Center's website this day.
There appear to be some big ol' friggin' brains out yonder in this land.
I will show you these Stooges
Lance Mannion echos the sentiment of every American boy I know as it relates to the The Three Stooges. I must say though, I do know one woman who likes the Stooges and I happen to be lucky enough to be married to her.
Regardless, Lance ties his theme up nicely with some pithy observations of today's economic crises and its relation to the zeitgeist of Larry, Curly and Moe.
And for what it's worth, Shemp was always my personal favorite.
Wheel keeps spinnin'
Apple Introduces Revolutionary New Laptop With No Keyboard
LOVE this clip from the Onion. My fave quote is, "it has features that customers don't even realize they want yet".

Krugman
Since everyone else in bloggytown is linking to this article, I may post it here as well.
In his first column of the New Year, the Shrill One lays out the philosophy that been ruining this Nation for nearly 30 years and, if I must say so myself, I've been de-crying for easily as long.
Bush is just the end result of the Atwater strategy. He's Dan Quayle writ large. He's the perfect faux poster boy for their wrong headed perversion of government. Don't blame him. Blame all of the Grover Norquists and Jack Abramoffs...they're the scoundrels. Bush is a patsy.
He just happened to be at the controls when the plan flew into the mountain.
RIP G.O.P. May you rest in turmoil.
Business Time
