We had a brief respite from the horribly hot and humid weather yesterday (still too hot for me, though certainly better than it’s been), but we’re supposed to back up near 90 again today. :hot: Not 110, I know, but we spend years<\/em><\/strong> developing our winter skin up this way, and it’s not something you can shed in a day. So 90 here is probably the equivalent of 120 to all you warm weather people. I only wish I could spend the day at the beach checking out the bikinis without looking like a old, fat, and very, very white pervert. :hubba: Sucks to get old.<\/p>\n

I need to take the car in today, ‘cuz it sounds like it’s got a bad wheel bearing. I was gonna do it myself, but was talking to somebody who’s a much better mechanic than I am who said he had all kinds of problems with doing the bearings on a car of the same year, make, and model and wound up taking the thing in to a repair shop in the end. So, screw it. I’ll let somebody with a lift and all the right tools do it. It’s only money, right? Besides, did I mention it’s too damn hot? I just wish there was a single payer extended warranty plan.<\/p>\n

Speaking of single payer (or not), the Senate appears to be on the verge of splitting their version of health care reform and passing the “public option” stuff on reconciliation<\/a>. Unfortunately, they currently only have 46 votes in favor of a public option<\/a>, so they still have some work to do, even on that front. Harry Reid (he of the stainless steel spine) says they’re “…determined to get something done this year by any legislative means necessary.” Which, if you’re Jake “the mens’ room” Tapper, warrants a comparison to Malcolm X<\/a>. Yeah, when I think of Harry Reid, the first person that comes to mind is Malolm X (well, actually I think of Denzel Washington, ‘cuz I was only about 4 when Malcolm was assassinated, but I really liked the movie). <\/p>\n

Rush Limbaugh made a gay joke about Barney Frank<\/a> (one that we thought was pretty darn funny back in fourth grade or so, except it wasn’t about gay people, ‘cuz we didn’t know about that kinda thing; our version had something to do with comparing Klingons to dingle berries). I’ll bet Barney, at least, doesn’t need Viagra (though, I hasten to add, I have no personal knowledge in that regard).<\/p>\n

Gotta go bring the car in now, so will somebody please<\/em><\/strong> let me know when the big news breaks on the Today Show? You know, the results of the poll as to whether or not it was appropriate<\/em><\/strong> for Michelle Obama to wear shorts while on vacation. \ud83d\ude44 These people are really friggin’ nuts, you know it?<\/p>\n

Feels like it ought to be Friday, today, doesn’t it?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
