Good evening!
The news & commentary continue to track yesterday's murders in Arizona. For some of the participants, it's not their finest hour, it's safe to say.
Meanwhile a strong, winter weather system moves across the Southern U.S. bringing snow and ice to places and people unaccustomed to such things.
Hope our ATRWers are safe and can keep their power. Folks are urged to stay home and not venture out.
A winter evening “hello” to everyone.
Thank you for getting us started.
FYI, no precipitation yet. Slight wind, but nothing. That is a good thing.
I'm sure this is lo cal hot chocolate...
there ya’ go. I was hoping to fit it into my diet. Thanks!
The snow has started here. I am really Really REALLLY praying our power and cable stay on.
Good evening everybody. Has there been any word on whether Congresswoman Giffords had security with her (I assume she did!) ....and if so, were they involved in the take-down of the perp?
Were they even armed?
MIDNIGHT A good 5 inches in Scottsboro AL and still snowing hard.
hello
The Arizona Tragedy and the Politics of Blood Libel / Glenn ReynoldsTo be clear, if you're using this event to criticize the "rhetoric" of Mrs. Palin or others with whom you disagree, then you're either: (a) asserting a connection between the "rhetoric" and the shooting, which based on evidence to date would be what we call a vicious lie; or (b) you're not, in which case you're just seizing on a tragedy to try to score unrelated political points, which is contemptible. Which is it?
We have maybe 2-3” on the ground and more coming......my company is opening 2 hours late....but I bet they close.
Contemptible is really a good word for this---as it has moved the news from what actually happend to this contemptible political agenda
And there is more coming
Reynolds makes a whole lot of sense. Hope there are many who shout his words loud and clear.
Who’s surprised about McCarthy? Not one of us.
Good morning, Rav. Thanks for the WSJ article.
Hope your company closes so that you don’t have to go out.
What is the weather doing there?
Weather doesn’t sound good in AL!
Hope y’all are doing okay.
Go Tigers!
>>What is the weather doing there?
Snow, and more coming.
I’m going to venture out (the newspaper came) and see how bad the local road is shortly - there are no plows in the South-—they just wait until the sun plows the roads.
0540 and the poweer is on. I can’t tell what happened overnight. At the moment we have no rain and the weather map gives me hope that the worst is over. I am cautiously optimistic.
How pretty. Thanks for getting breakfast for us.
