Cold Thursday P.M. Musings

Not an attention-grabbing title, but it sets the time and climate. Cold and windy all day and into the night, but the weekend may produce temps in the 70s; shorts and sandals time, maybe.
I have not blogged for a couple of days while Kerry has the center of contention, but he did "apologize" and now we all can move on to Sy Hersh's speech in Canada (on Drudge), in which he trashed US troops in Iraq as being the most violent in American history, and they deserved to be called baby killers when they get home. (There was more in the same vein.) Apparently his listeners at McGill U. lapped up what he said.
Not a great night on TV. Earl was more silly than funny (even with Rosanne as a mean old lady who thought Earl was the voice of God), The Office was not very funny (even with being about diversity clashes between Americans and Hindus), and OC was a droop. And the political adds are getting meaner day by day.
On to Kerry! If he had said the college kids he was talking to that they should study, and then do something for the country, even to joining the military and taking their turn on the line, instead of planning to spend their lives in cubicles, I might have forgiven him, but he fell into the Dems' vision of going back to some warm fuzzy peaceful Clinton-style era. (Jack and Bobby-for all their faults-were about doing something outside of yourself). (We cannot go back to the mythical Clinton age if we wanted to; the Moslems are not done planning to kill everyone on earth.)
I should more to opine about, but my lower back to starting to hurt again, as it has been doing for the last several days. Everyone at work is wheezing and sniffling with the first winter colds, and I may be getting one. Aint this a cheerful blog tonight; nothing but moaning. When things get a little more cheerful tomorrow maybe I will give a more cheerful blog. Take care. Di di mau!
