No Runny Eggs

The repository of one hard-boiled egg from the south suburbs of Milwaukee, Wisconsin (and the occassional guest-blogger). The ramblings within may or may not offend, shock and awe you, but they are what I (or my guest-bloggers) think.

BORGHOFF

R&E (2:48 pm 6/12/2008) – Storm passing north. Things got real quiet, almost clear to the southwest. Weather Underground isn’t showing a vortex signature.

R&E part 2 (2:55 pm 6/12/2008) – That was close. The warning’s cancelled, but the cancellation message included something ominous – trained spotters observed a rotating wall cloud about 1.5 miles west of the airport. That would be too close to comfort.

The Morning Scramble/Open Thread Thursday – 6/12/2008

I wish the weather weren’t going to be changing for the worse, but you know what they say about sticking one hand under the wish fountain and the other under a faucet…

  • Dad29 has the latest piece of evidence that Red China is not our friend; they’re hacking into the federally-owned computers used by Representatives that see through the facade.
  • Ace and Slublog proudly present the Obamination High Ground-Clearance Bus SluShop.
  • Jim Hoft dips into the memory vault to catch what Jimmy Carter said about Barack Obama before the Peanut Farmer endorsed the Bus Driver.
  • Josh Schroeder came up with the perfect slogan regarding Obama – “Chance We Can’t Afford To Take”.
  • Stephan Tawney caught Obama with yet another flip-flop. I wonder what his Appeasment-At-All-Costs base will do once they catch wind of this one, especially since they rejected Hillary Clinton as a Joanie-Come-Lately.
  • Plebian introduces Candidate GPS.
  • Mary (and Mark Belling) catch Gov. Jim Doyle golfing at his personal annual fundraiser yesterday as towns wash away and freeways are threatened. Doyle essentially treated the flood as an inconvenience, starting his day at the outing, bailing for a short while to hold a press conference, and then returning. No wonder why his full title here at NRE is Jim “Craps” Doyle (WEAC/Potawatomi-For Sale).
  • Bruce thanks the last ‘Rat President for $4/gallon gas. That’s right, even the USA Today admits that ANWR oil would be flowing now if Bill Clinton hadn’t vetoed the authorization to drill back in 1995.
  • Second dose of the Gateway Pundit; he notes that the gas-price protests in Europe have turned deadly. And yet the ‘Rats want to emulate the European level of taxation.

    One more thought on that; I guess it isn’t all the collapsed dollar’s fault that gas prices are high here.

  • JammieWearingFool has some good news for those headed south of the border. From the halls of Montezuma….
  • James T. Harris runs the Chicago carnage during National Bike to Work Week. 2 dead so far this week, 5 since October. That allows me to break out my favorite movie question, “Is it safe?”

So it’s a bit longer than the usual bare-bones Thursday. Don’t let that stop you from contributing.

Oak Creek flood closures update – 6/12/2008 AM

by @ 7:50. Filed under Weather.

As of 7 am this morning, there are only two roads closed in Oak Creek with either flooding or flood-related damage:

– E. County Line Rd. between 10th Ave. and Nicholson Rd.
– E. Drexel Ave. between Clement Ave. and Quincy Ave. (crews were working on repairing the damage a bit before 7).

Since 1-3 inches of rain is in the forecast for today and tomorrow, expect some roads that were closed and reopened to be closed again.
