Today is Beethoven's Birthday
I dedicate Ode to Joy, to my daughter Joy and all the joy she is.

Who is O’Reilly’s daddy?

Bill, snorkleman, sponge meister, O’Reilly last night was spinning parents’ rights to listen in on their kids’s telephone conversations. Guess he’d give his old folks an earful, wouldn’t he.

“Dear, why is Billy talking with that girl about showers? What’s a luftaffa or whatever he’s talking about?”

“I think it’s some kind of washcloth, honey. Now get off the phone and stop eavesdropping on Billy boy.”

How old is that producer he paid the big bucks to shut up? Just a kid reporter, I think.

If you voted for Bush
you made a huge mistake

Let me know when you’ve heard enough. We can talk.

Looks like snow, Atlanta

Big storms out there, fronts and such. Weather Channel said North Georgia has better than 50 percent chance of snow showers Saturday. The temperature dropped below twenty again last night. I shut the fireplace down. When it gets this cold we loose more heat up the flue than we gain from burning wood. Fires are better on normal days, when it’s high thirties, forties.

I’m a Florida boy, born in PA, worked in NH for a couple of years. This is still fun, though, especially when you work at home. Had quite a blizzard our first year in the house, drifts of a couple of feet on April 1, 1993. Snow’s always fun in Hotlanta.

Crossfire’s hot topic yesterday

Cleveland Clinic wants to kick out McDonalds. They should kick them out, but come on now Begala and Carlson (Mr. Bow tie, and he’s thirty?) Jon Steward was right. What are these guys afraid of? Why don’t they talk about what really hurts? The media is hurting us; please stop. Stop being so stupid.
