edutcher said...: Well, the day dawns and 2 things to note:

Pam Geller is putting together a people's 9/11 commemoration with clergy and cops and firemen invited;

Irene (not the one pictured elsewhere here) is wussing out. I'll bet Little Zero wishes he stayed to get in one last day of golf on Maatha's Vineyard.; 8/27/11, 6:00 AM
rhhardin said...: Irene is going strong on NYC WABC radio.

The big news is shutting down all mass transit and airports.

It's a new news ritual.

It used to be called a roust.

You can't do anything so you make the biggest inconvenience you can instead.; 8/27/11, 6:20 AM
rhhardin said...: It may not be come as a hurricane but it's really big, is the 8am NYC news line.

As big as California, "Some say as big as all of Europe."; 8/27/11, 7:10 AM

7. Learn when to take vertical pictures

With a little practice, switching from horizontal to vertical will come naturally. If the subject you are shooting is taller than it is wide, turn your camera 90 degrees to maximize the area of the subject in your camera viewfinder.

Step 2 - Review Natural Frames

If you leave an entire piece outside of the frame it does not look odd, but if there is only part of an object in the picture it looks like something is missing and can be very distracting."; 8/27/11, 7:12 AM

They told me that the press has so much dirt on Perry that it is being held till next year. In sum: I was told that if I do not calm down or relax, they would do to me what Obama will do to GOP. So there you have it. The GOP is becoming blue and soon it will be dark - lights out. I cannot believe that Perry is edging towards nomination with so little to show for. Let's face it: There is no way voters will not with great passion support the re-election of their beloved POTUS, Obama. It is given. The press has already committed and that is what sways the voters. You better believe it. This is straight from the super K-streeters.; 8/27/11, 7:31 AM
Curious George said...: About time AP rolled out the really super K-street consultants. I was getting tired of the "b list" shit.; 8/27/11, 7:53 AM

AllenS said...: Maybe you can't go into the Blue Door Café. Maybe the door's been super glued shut. It's been known to happen in Wisconsin.; 8/27/11, 8:03 AM
