Bushman of the Kohlrabi said...: RV,while most Robbins do migrate, it is not uncommon for individuals to spend the entire winter in northern locations. Their diet consists of fruits and berries when the ground is frozen.; 3/12/12, 2:47 PM
edutcher said...: Out strolling?

Good for you.

Warmer than usual, I hope?

WV "romstor" The Conservatves' Lovable Liberal's pet name for the front-runner.; 3/12/12, 3:01 PM
ricpic said...: The ground is soggy the ground is wet
With hummocks still frozen hard,

Cause she ain't no ways tard.; 3/12/12, 3:15 PM

Lem Vibe Bandit said...: From Drudge..

FINALLY! Michelle Obama challenged over gov't food policing -- by an 11-year-old reporter!

Remember the blowback Tipper Gore got when she spoke out about obscene lyrics?

Michelle has been telling people what to eat and the press has given her a free pass.

That little girl is my hero.; 3/12/12, 3:32 PM
Petunia said...: The state basketball tournaments are the next two weekends in Madison, possibly for the last time. Tradition says that there is often a blizzard during the tournament. Not sure if that is actually confirmed by weather records and I'm too lazy to check.

But my snow shovel will remain out until April 15th, so as not to anger the snow gods. In the meantime I'm wearing shorts and putting together my new patio furniture. The cats LOVE the box it came in.; 3/12/12, 3:34 PM
Lem Vibe Bandit said...: Specter says Obama ditched him after he provided 60th vote to pass health reform

RINO upset that hyena laughed at him.; 3/12/12, 3:37 PM

Because every kid in the state aspires to play in the Resch Center.

This year, for last minute filers, keep your snow shovel out through the 16th.; 3/12/12, 3:53 PM

We are going all the way baby!; 3/12/12, 4:00 PM

I,very much, agree with this.; 3/12/12, 6:08 PM

Hillary Democrats like myself are not going back even if she is on the ticket. Let me rephrase that, unless she is the top of the ticket.; 3/12/12, 6:35 PM
shiloh said...: 2012 Rep convention ~ Aug. 27-30

2012 Dem convention ~ Sept. 3-6

Obama announces Hillary as v-p replacement for Biden the week of the Rep convention.

As Judy Tenuta would say ~ It could happen! :-P

All's fair in love and politics ...; 3/12/12, 6:52 PM

HT said...: can someone just let me know if the comments section is ever going to go back to the way it was?; 3/12/12, 8:02 PM
Chip Ahoy said...: Frog.; 3/12/12, 8:26 PM
edutcher said...: The CBS poll was taken with a sample that was 3/4 registered voters and the rest non-registered, so it's not worth much, but, yeah, GodZero is losing with women.

O! The Humanity!

Even better, under the Just Because You're Paranoid heading comes this happy note:

The Fed will be stress testing banks for 13% unemployment (in Zero's U3, of course - probably 20 in the real world), 50% drop in the market, and 21% drop in housing prices.

Yeah, worst case scenario, but you always have to wonder do they know something?

PS Prolly, HT, but Blogger is apparently trying to do too much with too little.

PPS pm, I don't think it'll happen. Keep in mind, Willie and Hilla have scores to settle.; 3/12/12, 8:53 PM
Nichevo said...: Hillary! for VP or anything? Let me be charitable and hope she survives Obama's term! Did you see her at the latest presser? She looks like she's got cancer or something. Just awful. Actually though I despise her politics, it is quite shocking and even sad.

Maybe it is the stress of working for this jackass? Or more immediately the AF soldier shooting may be just right up her ass and down her throat.; 3/12/12, 9:51 PM
