Look on the bright side, if she was caring about her appearance, it would be evidence that she might be running for President with the near endorsement of Dick Cheney.

The big fat Greek default

Followed by cascading defaults, exploding credit default swaps, runs on banks, financial meltdown.

Should make for a good day for Glenn Beck

You know what I see is an angry guy about to assault an ederly gentleman after declaring social security a ponzi scheme. “I’m telling you its a ponzi scheme you old coot”

And then it’s a direct mail piece to every senior citizen in America next October.

It’s almost too easy for Team Obamanation.

I think her hair looks nice. It’s washed and brushed, which is a change for her.

Wasting money on direct mail to entitlement voters is fine by me.

It’s more than offset by the under 30 votes Team Obamanation loses by defending it.

The numbers in the race are straightforward.

Without Max turnout, Max Minority turnout, it goes the other way.

Unemployment alone kills that.

Well, if you batten down the windows at the bottom and add a few pairs of animals, you’ll be ready for the next 1,000,000- year flood...

Well, batten ‘em down again.

That’ll show them hatches.

Are you in NY State? Your name says that to me. Possibly VT?

I’m over in NY visiting and I’m astounded at the flood damage here. Roads are closed and bridges are washed away. Creeks are filled with dirt and yards are filled with river rocks. Huge trees are still in the creek beds.

Glad your power came back on finally!
