Bloggin Alive

Record setting snowfall in the eastern US.

Fox News this morning did a fast showing of some of the Mohammed cartoons, which were also on a blogspot I saw the other night and forgot to bookmark; the guy with his eyes blanked out with 2 women in burkas behind him, the Arab with a bomb in his turban, and the suicide bombers lined up at the gates of Heaven as Mohammed or the gate keeper saying " we've run out of virgins, " the star and crescent moon in a guy's face. I wish someone showing the cartoons would interpret them so we could know what we are seeing.

(The rest of this blog is being typed on Love Day Fed 14, because I had to leave the blog the other night, and then I got partially sick with the flu which is going around the heartland, and I still have some of it. Sinus plug-up and drainage and a woosiness and total tiredness.)

The Saturday snowfall on the east seaboard dumped 26 inches of snow on the Big Apple--an all-time record. (Wonder how it compares with the blizzard of 1888? ) Airports totally shut down in DC, and about every other metroplex in the east, but at last report things were getting back to the normal routine. It is supposed to be 50 degrees in Des Moines today, with heavy snow and nasty winds tonight. Very clear sky at 3 p.m. as I type.

Iran and everything else has taken a backseat to Cheney spraying a guy with buckshot on a quail hunt in Texas Sunday. Drudge now reports that the old guy has had a mild heart attack. The media has gone nuts over this affair because Cheney waited a day before calling W to tell Him what had happened. Jokes all over the place about Cheyney and Quail and every angle you could think of. More as this goes along.

I watched some of the Olympics last night, but have not been able to get fired up about the thing. Did catch a womens' hockey match between Finland and Switzerland, and the women were very rough to each other. This evening I may watch more stuff and eventually I will fire up and get absorbed in the games. (Later: Bodie messed up and got disqualified from the skiing.)

This will be all for right now. I am going to smear me with Vicks and take a nap. I know you wanted to know that. Di di mau!
