6. Too funny!
Did you catch Nancy's show today? She'll be on again tomorrow and then next Monday-Wednesday. If you saw Hardball, that crazy Stephanie lady was also on Nancy's show today and they really got into it. Hard to believe Uncle Pat is on our side on this one. Nancy would have been on Hardball if Pat hadn't been available. She actually gave them that crazy lady's name.

16. The UAW workers
Crazy lady is on the side of the southern senators. If you get a chance at another airing of Hardball, watch. It's during the second half hour.

18. Thanks.
And that's rather surprising, having Pat on our side. Like they say, though, even a stopped clock is right twice a day.

22. I didn't -- either of them
But that's pretty funny. I'll set the DVR; I won't make it until midnight tonight. I'm tired. At least tomorrow is a really short day.

Stay warm.

4. Hi, SG
We got hit again today -- I left work at 4 and am going to work from home again tomorrow.

8. We've got another sh*tload coming in tonight after midnight.
Had MrSG drop me off at the drug store about a mile from the house, on his way to work. I walked home, and it's pretty much uphill all the way. I know, sounds like that old, "I walked 6 miles to school and back, barefoot, in the snow, uphill, both ways." That's sure what I felt like when I finally did get back home!

12. You're a better woman than I
I would never have attempted that. I'm bad on hills even when the weather is good.

We didn't get that much today, but on top of what we already had, it seemed like a lot and the roads weren't totally clear when I came home. It snowed, then stopped, then started again. I think it's supposed to go up to 46 tomorrow.

15. Sounds like here: snow, tamped down snow, more snow, etc.
The worst part of my walk (well, aside from the uphill part) was getting across parking lots and streets. Like walking on an ice rink! :scared:

19. I used to live on Capitol Hill
and work down by the waterfront. I remember the few snow days we did have... sliding sideways into a Mercedes on the Olive Way/Denny Hill. Oh yeah. Snow in Seattle!

This is definitely not a snow-friendly city!

14. The very same
The day he dropped the f-bomb, I just sat there on the couch and kept rewinding it -- watched it over and over. I was late for work, too.

I used to live on Capital Hill too; I live about 8 miles south of there now. I really really miss living up there.

by any margin, but I'd really like him to win by the 27 vote margin Nate Silver predicted -- just because.

25. That's good enough for me.
Funny story -- someone I know in our Minneapolis office posted on facebook today that she saw Coleman in the parking lot when she went to get coffee and she almost hit him when he bent down to pick up his glove. She said "That would certainly end the recount."

Nixon looks like a piker next to Cheney.

Funny; I never thought I would use that word in connection with Nixon.

:hi: Sorry to be late--as it turned out, the sis and family had to postpone dinner and cookie-baking until tonight, which was actually better than Friday anyway as that was our last night of live Keith.

I'm glad Tamryn Hall got the chance to warm the chair for the Big Guy tonight. I've had a soft spot for her ever since I caught her on MSNBC one afternoon during the height of the Jeremiah Wright garbage last spring and she gave the lowdown to whoever was anchoring at the time about the situation for African Americans who move to Chicago seeking a church with a social life as well as a spiritual one. Made me understand the whole Wright/Obama thing a lot better. You can read the gist of it a little into this blog:

http://blog.reidreport.com/2008/04/wright-controversy-comes-full.html

I'll have to catch her on the flip-flop. All I got to see was the opening and I decided I had to tune back in later to see the man-crushing on Keith. :loveya:
