_______

Reading that makes me smile much more than I probably should.

Vic, the demolition link goes to the boardwalk hit and run article.

Good morning, revolutionaries. I see we didn't get attacked yesterday. Did we?

(realize I'm not kryptonian, go on home to Uncle Ben and Auntie Em.)

OH NO! I KILLED THE BLOG! (crawls off in shame, opens the lead-lined box with the white kryptonite...)

My arch-nemesii are threatening to wreck havok. Does that seem cliched?

Does this cape look ghey?

Seriously, you guys. I have come to oppose weasels, weiners, trolls, hobos and commies, and fight for truth, justice, and... wait, what boobies? I didn't see any boobies except the cosplay jailbait's.

It's midnight in the middle of America and that means it's time for the... oh, forget it.

bummer. sorry.

One last time, in honor of the award-winning Hellin Thomas's birthday, and with special sentiment for Preznit Birthday BuryO, I link to a graphic in my nic which I don't recomment clicking. (You were warned. NSFEyeballs.)

I've enjoyed hovering over you all tonight looking down, like a near-death out-of-the-body experience, but now I must leave you to your little gray boxes and go close my eyes and watch for meteors.

Y'all keep watch over things for me tonight. I don't want to wake up hearing that San Francisco is a smoking crater. Got a nephew there.

Good evening. What am I doing here? Has my life really come to this?

More importantly, which moron was this? (h/t Drudge)

Man arrested for DUI after driving burning truck 15 miles with no tires...

(Link in nick, if you really need it.)

When we were kids, Dad would take us out to the country place (where we now live) to lie out under the stars to watch the Perseids. Forty-five years he's been gone. I sure miss him.

I did the same with my kids, after we abandoned the orange glow of Windy City; but not since they growed up. We do have a pretty good viewing spot, but, not as dark as it was fifty years ago. The neighbor across the road with the giant spotlight on his roof? If shooting it weren't immoral, I'd... think more about it.

Several years ago, I remember the winter storm (Leonids?) was impressive, they were coming down so bright and heavy, not those tiny "was that one?" peripherally-seen scratches. I didn't want to go to bed, but it was cold and I had to anyway. During the night, there came a blast of light so bright that it actually woke me up, inside, in bed, on the other side of the curtains, and I had my eyes open in time to see the light fading. Now that was a showy year. Stop me if you'd heard that one.

Thanks for the reminder, CAC. Now if the clouds will cooperate, and all this rain we've had doesn't rise up and cloud the night sky....

The scalpel is useless. Fire up the acetylene torch

Happy Birthday, Mister President.

Preparing a unique reception for you here. Don't be late.

moving sucks. That is all. -Tami

Each one harder than the last in my experience.

Al Quida does not suspect my 3-D chessmaster plan to lure them out and fill them with unwarranted confidence and supply them with faulty weaponry and bad ammunition, and now they will face our network of military might hidden around the world.

Stay strong, citizens! God bless the United States of America!

It is not enough to train men for work; in a complex society there must also be provided efficient methods of place finding. Before training citizens in the highly specialized techniques of earning a living, they should be trained in one or more methods of commonplace labor, trades or callings which could be utilized when they were transiently unemployed in their specialized work. No civilization can survive the long-time harboring of large classes of unemployed. In time, even the best of citizens will become distorted and demoralized by accepting support from the public treasury. Even private charity becomes pernicious when long extended to able-bodied citizens.
