Once again, the weather gods have decided to miss us. We got a dusting of snow last night, and it was snowing lightly for a while this morning, but things are brightening up out there now, and it’s supposed to be kinda warm this weekend. That’s a good thing, because the St. Patrick’s Day Parade is Saturday. Why is it on Saturday March 9th? I have no idea. I mean, this year, SPD is on a Sunday (not even this Sunday), so there’s no reason not to have it on the actual day. Kinda dumb. Even dumber, they’ve scheduled the parade for the exact time that the final regular season Big East meeting between SU and Georgetown (noon tomorrow, for the vast majority of you who didn’t know – or care).

Speaking of SU/Georgetown, the Washington Post has a nice piece on the history of the rivalry (with video and pictures) for anybody who’s interested. If you’re not interested, there’s no reason to mention that you’re not interested, because I already know you’re not (which reminds me of WKRP when Herb accidentally spray painted his daughter’s frog – named Green Peace – pink, and while trying to get some help from his co-workers he kept telling everybody before he showed them that they didn’t have to tell him the frog was pink because he was telling them ahead of time that he was pink, and of course the first ting they said was, “he’s pink,” except for Andy who said, “shoulda named him Pink Peace”).

But anyway….

Speaking of stupid, Governor Snotball is looking to cut $120 million in aid for the disabled – a 6% cut in reimbursement rates for non-profits that provide services including a local organization named Enable, which has had an incredible affect on the life of my stepson. Thanks to them, he’s got a job and his own place to live. It’s gonna be OK, though, ‘cuz the Governor has a plan:

“So we’re going to tighten our belt, but we’re still going to get our job done.”

Well alrighty, then.

Oh well, back to work.
