Of this frigid friggin’ weather, that is. Or so they say. Tomorrow back up into double-digits and all the way to 24° they say. And then up into the 30s for Friday and the weekend (with the tradeoff of maybe some snow, which is a fair deal as far as I’m concerned – snow doesn’t bother me all that much, but I’m getting too damn old for it to be this cold). So far this winter has been a throwback to the days of my youth, when it was really damn cold all winter long (and I had to walk uphill both to and from school, of course), and I’m getting just a wee bit tired of riding the polar express.<\/p>\n

I did not watch the SOTU last night, and I haven’t been able to get interested in reading the post game wrap-up (I tried to read Howard Fineman’s column on it<\/a>, but only managed about three paragraphs). I did enjoy this photo, though:<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The sense I got from those three paragraphs and from the headlines I scanned that it was your basic SOTU speech – lots of talkie-talkie, not much walkie-walkie.<\/p>\n

The only other mildly interesting thing was that some redneck<\/del> leatherneck NY Congresscritter (Michael Grimm, who I hasten to point out is from downstate around Sue’s neck of the woods – Staen Island and part of Brrokly, though luckily for her, not Red Hook – and not one of ours) got all pissed off and threatened bodily harm<\/a> (“He threatened to throw him over the balcony and then said ‘I will break you in half…'”) when a reporter asked him about the criminal investigation into his campaign finance “irregularities.”<\/a> <\/p>\n

Touchy, touchy.<\/p>\n

So, anyway, that’s about all I know of what the Prez had to say. Oh, except that “he had a spring in his step” seems to be the meme this morning. So maybe he got laid right before the speech. In which case, good for him.<\/p>\n

If I missed anything important, let me know.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
