At least everyone in the North East is getting it. But for some of us, it's just a nasty cold rain.

Crappy freezing rain last night...but this a.m. wasn't too bad. It's supposed to get up near 50 before it drops to twenty-something tonight.

Summer, get here if you can.

We've got about 8" on the ground right now. Pete had the XC skis out for a bit. I need to swap some bindings before I can play.

LOL! It seems many can't tell the difference between the weather and the climate and are too dim to realize colder winters is a sign of global warming.

So no, I do not subscribe to this left-wing shibboleth. If you've a lick of sense, do the same.

No hanging is called for, not by the knowledgeable. Only by the left-herdthink dildoes.

You know what a dildo is, right? It's a dick. A fake dick. A fake plastic dick with no balls. Leftists are why I'm not a leftist. I'm just not convinced they can achieve a coherent thought that is also grounded in the real.

Hey douchebag, each and every single American who had a conversation listened to by government, and their rights violated. Each and every single American who was stopped at an airport or told they couldn't fly because they were on a list, had their rights violated.

You want to know the names of Americans who were locked up without charges? Try Jose Padilla numbnuts. He's an American citizen who languished in jail for years without access to a lawyer, without being charged with a crime, while being tortured, etc.

Also, it doesn't matter if they are American citizens or not. All people are entitled to the same level of due process regardless of where they are from.

You are certainly no dildo. You are a real, genuine, dick.

Environment?? Hohohoho -- for all the yelling about it from anti-Republicans (so consider the source, always) you just don't see actual environmental degradation. The numbers aren't there, you know. Or you should. You do see some effort at reducing the cost of doing business, which is something that always has to be done. Particularly as a check and balance to the urge to micromanage and regulate and overregulate.

Debt?? Hahahahaha -- look at Bill Clinton. There is considerable doubt among the knowledgeable that the national debt improved, or that there was any actual surplus. Nongovernmental debt is of course not subject to government control, save of the crudest sort of intervention, which even with the Democrats rampant doesn't look to happen either.

Economy?? Heheheheheh. The kind of mentality that says "George Did It" is the same mentality that credits Bill Clinton with the boom years of the 1990s. Consider, again, the source -- is not the source the same antiRepublican dickheads I've already dismissed as unworthy of attention and unlikely to get it right? I am persuaded that there's very little a President can actually do that influences an economy, positively or negatively. The market, it appears, works to laws entirely independent of anybody's politics. So no, I'm too well advised to have that kind of mentality.

Three strikes to you, Bruce. Quit believing leftist shibboleths and your intellect will shine. Leftism is a bad religion. I don't whore after so false a god.

Still clueless after all these years. Stick to something within your grasp, like bagpipes and knives.

When you see a man who can better identify real tyrants and totalitarians than you can, you inform him he's a dick. Sooo mature of you -- and such brilliant advocacy of libertarian, democratic social orders. Well, Radar, your writings reveal a very evil, totalitarian-loving, domineering schmuck whose ideas should not even be accepted by himself, for their moral vacuity and misplaced concerns. When someone shows vertebracy and independence and good judgement enough to disagree with your ideas, you immediately and invariably get pissy. Not exactly persuasive of a first-rate mind at work, Paul.

The prisoners have POW rights. There's damned little call for anything else, and the present efforts at the anything else are ill advised. Not being American citizens nor, quite bluntly, charged with crimes under American law or committed within American jurisdiction, this leftist-originated legal theory seems to me full of holes. It originates, remember, from the people who don't want us to win this. People who would hand an undeserved victory to our opposition, some of the nastiest and most illiberal bastards this planet can produce, as anyone reading either the bastards or the anti-Republicans can see. So, keep them caged until the war's over. You may have noticed that, with zero antitotalitarian effort from you, that we're turning it around over there. Counterinsurgencies are always slow things, as they require demographic changes -- a people must cease to allow guerrillas to swim among them as fish in a sea.

Still dodging enlightenment, eh Bruce? You know, the only way you can continue to wallow in your present darkness is by pretending I'm either crazy or that I know nothing. It won't work, for I always think despite any pretenses on your part, and the day of enlightenment draws closer.

Can you really even call this a rebuttal? Manifestly you think it is... and once again I'm reminded of why I can't be a leftist. They don't think well enough.
