Mindful,
I'm late to be back and sure you are asleep, but glad to have been helpful. Sleep well.

Back in to say...

OldDominionMom, found Clive Cook story on Rush. Not where I originally read it, but that's the story! Thanks!

Horde mind knows everything!

Good night for real.

Sugar Plum Fairy: ...I think he actually got mad at me for disagreeing and also not getting upset about his idiot opinion. I didn't even call him am idiot....

It's always a good thing to smile and be happy and strike fear into their hearts.

A salty dog reminds me of this. Regularly. It's good.

I'm tuning out, folks. Long day and early tomorrow.

Remember to love God and one another. But keep your sidearm loaded.

On the drive home tonight, we were listening to Mark Levin and he had a caller from W Virginia. He was a sharp fellow, but, oh! what an accent! The kind that some elitists would think he was a dumb hick.

Years ago, I started keeping my "blog heap o'links" (nic link) so when I read something I liked, I could link it, and search for it again relatively easily. A public personal bookmarks page.

Sometimes I read something and blog it.

But sometimes I read something I wish I had blogged, but I can maybe search my history and find it.

However, sometimes I read something in the newsfeed itself, not opening the page, and that doesn't get into the browser history. I think this last happened today. Or was it yesterday?

Anyway, I read somebody's blog post about someone who had a friend, from England, who moved to DC, and made friends with inside-the-beltway folks.

Then, he told them he was going to buy a house in (I think) W Virginia, and his elitist friends were saying things like, why would you move among those gap-toothed, shotgun-shooting, cousin-humping -- etc. -- people??

He was amazed, because the nobility in England didn't hold the ordinary folk in such disdain. (Which fits the description I recently read in Washington's Irving's Sketchbook. New-rich might have snobby attitudes, but not the true nobility.)

He moved, and of course found his neighbors to be salt of the earth folks.

Wish I could spirit up that post. That's the problem with subscribing to dozens and dozens of sites and reading hundreds of feed items a day... and not blogging one.

HI! HI! HI! HI!

How to Talk About the New Ghostbusters Movie...

Recently watched Ghostbusters again. Still great. Not Blues Brothers great, but great.

So, tonight, in honor of the new gals trailer, we started watching GB2. Unfortunately, we had a bad copy, and only got up to the river of slime. Re-copying, but it'll take a while. Just as well. It's late and we need to go home, not watch the inferior sequel.

♦

Just caught a minute or two of the debate tonight, but it was Ted sounding good and getting applause no less even from the stacked audience. That's all I needed.

♦

They put in the new Schmardt 'Lectric Meter on the office today, without telling us they were going to. By chance, we were late on a payment so they shut us off at the same time.

Which was actually fortunate, because that way we found out they installed the meter wrong, because some parts of the building are still live! Hoping the place doesn't burn up before they get back to (theoretically) fix things tomorrow.

Hoping the place doesn't burn up before then.

I think they send the "B" team to install these things.

With some extension cords and appliance shuffling, we were able to power the computers, the modem and router, and grill some burgers for dinner.

And, presuming this smidgen of usage was off-meter, the price was right. Shh.

Gonna go home, read the post, maybe check back in later. Say hi to me now anyway. Or please clap.

Ace: Did Romney give his largely ineffectual speech for a hidden purpose?

Surely, in 700 comments, someone has noted...

Yes. He's putting himself out there again so he can be the star selected in the brokered convention.

(In a quick scan of comments, I saw the Romney brokered convention possibility mentioned, but not directly in answer to Ace's question.)

* looks for mention I saw earlier today of Ryan meeting with Romney before Rom's speech, but can't find it *

No Ace yet and it's half past Noon here.

Time for me to quit lurking in this locker room and head out for the day into what passes for the "real world" for me.

Thanks for filtering the Romney Re-Run show for me, horde. Always the best way to catch things.

Onward, full speed, through the fog....

So, not watching the Mitt.

He's calling Obama and Hillary criminals and speaking up for tight borders and less government.

Right? Right?

Laurie David's Cervix: "I'm not here to announce my candidacy for office and I'm not here to endorse a candidate today," Mitt Romney says in opening.

Okay, then.

Scientific studies have shown that how much wood a woodchuck would chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood is the same, within the margin of error, as how much ground a groundhog would hog if a groundhog could hog ground.

piney puns: Can't we get something other that nature paintings?

You missed the lackadaisical ladies a few days ago? Or the cat in the messy room?

Kindltot: And the muscles of his brawny arms
Are string as iron bands.

Incredible String Band?

Didn't think anybody remembered them.

BurtTC: The problem Cruz has of course, is likability. Everyone can see that, whether they want to admit it or not.

Odd. I must be blind or in de nile. No matter how loud and long the weird hairpiece with the fifth-grader vocabulary and manners shouts that "nobody likes him," I don't see it. Of course me & my neighbors all liked him enough to hand him a win in this state.

Oh, well, unless you mean how lots of RINOs don't like Cruz for reasons similar to why they don't like Drumpf, or how the atheist left doesn't like him because religiosity, but those just make him more likable in my book (like how I liked der Donald because the enemy hated him back when he seemed bold and solid on issues like immigration).

Boy, was I willowed. That's what I get for going and feeding the pets.

Morning, Glories! Just hopped on this space shuttle. Where we headed?

Beautiful sunny day here in NE Oklahoma where Ted Cruz was the victor on Super Cruzday.

After a good night's sleep, I'm a little less stiff and achy than I have been in recent weeks. Hope that trend continues.

At least when I missed the morning thread today... so did everybody else! Caught up on Vic's news late in the ONT, and subsequent chatter, but just skimmed the headlines here and none of the comments. Just give me the highlights. Or lowlifes. Whatever.

Hey, thanks, L, Elle! "ppreciate it.

Sweet dreams yr own self.

They didn't have ADHD prognosis when I was a schoolkid. We just got paddled.

School is for the middle of the curve kids who can parrot and obey - not good for the ones outside that.

Squeaking of witch, this late night crowd is too intelligent for me. Heading for the comfy covers.

Good night, Gracies.

Maetenloch: I was special...so very special. :-)

Yes, we've always thought so...

School system can be nefarious. Kept our kids out. Never regretted it.
