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.
Quiet Riot singer Kevin DuBrow is dead at 52. I can’t find an actual video of the quintessential “Bang Your Head (Metal Health)”, so this will have to do.

Bang your head!
Metal health will drive you mad!
I’m too wiped to find a better source than a column in the online version of the Telegraph by Christopher Booker, but there’s a couple of items you probably haven’t heard from the Gorebal Warming crowd (who are still crowing over the state visit Algore Goracle had at the White House today):
– Earth’s temperatures as measured by satellites have been falling since 1998, dropping to 1983 levels this year.
– Speaking of 1998, recalculated surface temperatures from the 1930s now indicate that 1998 was not the warmest on record, but 1934. Also, the 1930s boast 4 of the 10 warmest years of the past century.
When will the Nobel Committee realize it fucked up and demand the Peace Prize back from Goracle and company? Oh, that’s right, it never did from Yasser Arafat, who was a warmonger up until the time he died.

A blog set up by Algore Goracle to promote The Convenient L…er, An Inconvenient Truth has been hacked by hawkers of online “pharmaceuticals”. As someone who has to routinely clean that kind of trash out of the spam traps, I feel for the web monkeys who now have to reseize control of their blog. However, I just can’t stop chuckling that a domain registered to the self-proclaimed inventor of the Internet got PWN3D.
I hope they weren’t running the setup I’ve got.
Sean Hackbarth’s birdie told him last night, and everybody else is catching up this morning. The word on the street is Lott is leaving before the end of this year to take advantage of the fact that new prohibitions on the ability of departing Senators to lobby their former colleagues for 2 years after departure don’t take effect until 2008.
Maybe he’ll get the band back together (as JammieWearingFool suggests), or take up baking lessons (after all, Slublog points out he’s asked us to eat cake).
Revisions/extensions (3:46 pm 11/26/2007) – Got a few of them here:
– First things first, that prohibition mentioned above is also in current law; it just is for one year instead of the two it is going to be soon.
– I wonder just how gold-plated Sean’s source is. The Washington Times says that this came from the White House. (H/T – JWF)
– The Washington Post says that the special election will be with all the other ones in 2008 (they earlier speculated that the 90-day rule would have to kick in if Lott left this year), and that the leading candidate for the appointment is Rep. Roger Wicker. MKH touched on the larger money issue already today, so let me continue. The WaPo notes Wicker has $569,000 in the bank, which makes it seem that the reason Lott acolyte Pickering won’t get the nod is the money. Odd thing is, Pickering has $761,000. The only good news is the prohibitive favorite on the Dem end, former AG Mike Moore, will be starting from scratch.
