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.
Pleiban ran with the multitude of Democratic plants in the Republican CNN/YouTube debate, and delivered a stunning story. It’s just too good to swipe, and I can’t add anything, so head there to read (sorry; Pleiban has comments turned off they’re now on as of 6:16 pm, and since I don’t feel like handling overflow, I’ve done the same shut them off here.

I’ve got a ticket into BlueHost to help me figure out how to get that fixed.
I was away from the computers much of the afternoon, so I’m behind the curve. I’m following this on Fox News. Those of you who have a visceral hate for that network can follow along on CNN or MSNBC.
Prayers that all the campaign workers, other innocents, and police come out of this safe and unharmed post haste, and that the perp with what has now been described as road flares strapped to him doesn’t do anything stupid that would cause him harm.
Borrowed from Tom McMahon’s 4-Block World…
Blegging R&E (6:21 pm 11/30/2007) – While I did ask for unanimous consent, it’s Tom’s work. Give him some comment love, please.
If you want to see the special page I set up for you, just be a Class A asshat like the dearly-departed eastriver. Just don’t go home and whine to mama when I send you there.
Bumped to the top (3:16 pm 11/30/2007) – Please refer to the General Policies page. The bottom line is this is my yard, and while I will take a fair fight, even if vulgar, between you and me, I will not take either asshattery or personal attacks on other commenters.

If anybody thinks that putting a headrest above a urinal is going to keep one from doing a messy and embarrassing faceplant into the business end of said urinal, I’ve got a bridge to sell you.
The current (as of 11:38 am) forecast from the NWS (which includes a winter storm watch Saturday afternoon through early Sunday morning):
Saturday: Occasional snow, mainly after noon. The snow could be heavy at times. High near 30. East wind 6 to 9 mph increasing to between 20 and 23 mph. Winds could gust as high as 33 mph. Chance of precipitation is 100%. New snow accumulation of 3 to 7 inches possible.
Saturday Night: Periods of rain, freezing rain and sleet before midnight, then periods of drizzle. Low around 29. Southeast wind between 20 and 24 mph, with gusts as high as 38 mph. Chance of precipitation is 90%. New sleet accumulation of less than a half inch possible.
If it’s December, and it’s Wisconsin,…. Of course, given this time of year, a very minor shift in the track of the incoming low can throw this way out of whack, leaving either mostly rain or even more snow.
At times like these, I’m thankful for my snowblower and all wheel drive.
Revisions/extensions (6:09 pm 11/30/2007) – Change the winter storm watch to a winter storm warning effective noon tomorrow through 6 am Sunday (expected), change the snow accumulations to 3-5 inches (good), and add in 0.1-0.3 inches of ice accumulation (ouch). Throw in the possibility of thundersnow, and if things don’t shift, it’s going to get ugly. Where’s Mike Seidel so we can give him a warm welcome like last year?
Sometimes, it’s a good post that gets you noticed by a good blogger; sometimes, it’s the inane. In this case, it’s the beer that got me a trackback from Blue Crab Boulevard. Read, drink, and be happy.
Jim Lynch at bRight & Early reports on the coup of the campaign season. I’m not going to steal his material, so get over there to read it.
*For those of you that are humor-challenged, that is humor. Also, don’t bother trying to comment on that here; I can’t claim that as my own.
Word of warning revision (2:50 pm 11/30/2007) – The free-fire portion of the discussion is to be between each individual commenter and me, not between commenters. Just in case you forgot, this is my place; I pay the hosting bill.
A pair of updates that I waited until midnight to fly with (well, actually, I prepped this before midnight, but thanks to the magic of WordPress, they’re going out at the gong):
– When I last left this, we were at 8 plants. Well, Michelle’s upped the count to 9, though I don’t know whether to classify CAIR’s Yasmin as simply a fresh species or start a whole separate genus for groups merely aligned with the ‘Rats. Ah, tahellwitchit, since I call them DhimmiRATs, it counts. Since I remember 30 questions, we’re now at a full 30% of the questions being plants.
– Duncan Hunter, bless his soul, has a heart of a lion (and the money and support of a flea). My mailbox has a copy of a letter he sent head gardener Hillary Clinton:
November 29, 2007
Dear Senator Clinton,
Regarding the “plant”, retired Brig. Gen. Keith H. Kerr, that you sent to ask me the question at the CNN-YouTube debate last night in Florida "¦
Send more!!!
Merry Christmas,
Duncan Hunter
UUUURRRRRPPPPP!!!!!!!!!!!
Revisions/extensions (11:20 am 11/30/2007) – Seems this place piqued the interest of a bunch of Salon types. If this place loads a bit slow; sorry about that, I don’t think I’ve had a serious crush of traffic before, so I don’t know exactly how my host handles a crush. Disagree with me all day long, but do try to find another line besides Jeff Gannon. Also, don’t piss me off. While I do enjoy the back-and-forth, I do have a hair-trigger.
