Hey Ginny, I’m disappointed you couldn’t find anything more inflammatory and one-sided than your link on Daleiden’s bust. In that spirit let me counter Ministry of Truth with Poster Child of Anti-choice Sleaze.
Panama out, Omaha in.
Ethics reform out, lobbyist spending in.
Tax reform, foreign tax shelters out.
Tax attorneys, US tax shelters in.
Middle class out,
income gap in.
Hot cars on display for federal folks and friends in DC:
Tysons Corner mall…
Telsa store…..from $90k to save the planet….recharge centers on tap
Affordable car lease display; Maserati Ghibli S $569 mo
I drove a Tesla a while back. It literally threw me back in the seat as I accelerated. The baddest assed car I’ve ever seen. I’ll say this, the guy who makes a battery that will last days instead of hours will be richer than Bill Gates ever dreamed of.
It was sad seeing Arnie yesterday. He looked very frail. I know time marches on but this is just too much. Jack is the best golfer to ever breathe, but there’s just something special about Palmer. Can’t put my finger on it other than to quote a line from one of the many specials I have seen about the two men. “People respect Jack; people love Arnie…” To see him yesterday in a weakened condition literally brought a tear. To quote Royal Marshall, “Just damn!”
Yes, Arnie’s appearance yesterday broke my heart. He is such a gracious man and true champion of the game.
An era is coming to a close.
Arnie was just too damn exciting on the golf course for me to be saddened that he’s old and frail. Maybe this Dan Jenkins article on the occasion of Palmer turning 40 will turn you guys around. “Hit it hard, go find it, hit it hard again.” Words to live by.

I thought the snowflake link might have been to something useful…which isnt something any of these links achieve. So in the spirit of being useful I will warn people who might have been a bit quick in planting their gardens or have annuals or any other plants susceptible to frost/freeze to protect them as best you can because this weekend we will be getting very close to freezing in the Metro (worse farther north you go). Also, expect to be paying more for peaches this year…a lot more.
