WTF Is It Now?!?

It's a foggy, miserable morning with a chance of rain, which will probably do away with what little snow is left out there. At this point I'd really rather have the snow - it's covering up all the dead leaves I never raked up.

We spent yesterday Christmas shopping, which means I got a whole lot of stuff for myself, though we did pick up a fruitcake for my sister and a farting Santa for my niece. There's still time to get Maru the GW Bush is an idiot calendar! LOL.


A big to Atrios at Eschaton for making John Podhoretz' column in the NY Post!

"An enterprising leftist blogger named Atrios (atrios.blogspot.com) spent the weekend digging up interesting tidbits about Trent Lott's home state of Mississippi and its record on the matter of segregation. That included the official 1948 Mississippi Democratic Party sample ballot, which asked residents of the state to vote not for Democratic nominee Harry Truman but rather for Strom Thurmond. A vote for Truman, the sample ballot reads, "means...anti-lynching and anti-segregation proposals will become the law of the land and our way of life in the South will be gone forever." By Monday morning, the blogosphere had gone ballistic."
