নামহীন বলেছেন...: I voted for Romney. Why? One word: Benghazi.

" You keep lyin' when you oughta be truthin' "

(from Nancy Sinatra, These Boots Are Made for Walkin', an apparent reference to Obama's cowardly acts to not help the US Ambassador in Libya)

NB: Please vote early. If you have voted al-ready, please call or help someone to get to the polling station. We need to win this thing before Tues.; ৩/১১/১২, ৮:৩৩ PM
Sorun বলেছেন...: Is it only mid-autumn? So, the leaves are off the trees and Halloween is behind us. What are we supposed to do until winter shows up?; ৩/১১/১২, ৮:৩৪ PM
Unknown বলেছেন...: Eat turkey.; ৩/১১/১২, ৮:৩৮ PM

Lem Vibe Bandit বলেছেন...: That's a very lovely paint job.

I second that.; ৩/১১/১২, ৯:০৮ PM
Dante বলেছেন...: This is a political blog. Are you showing the contrast between shadow and white? Is it racist?; ৩/১১/১২, ৯:০৯ PM
ricpic বলেছেন...: November

Let's put on our sweaters and go for a walk in the park,
Where the leaves that are left are yellow and the day's neither bright nor dark,
Where the world is sadly muffled but the feeling's not really sad,
Out in the gently subsiding day feeling peaceful not feeling bad.; ৩/১১/১২, ৯:১৯ PM
bagoh20 বলেছেন...: In L.A. Autumn is one month (November). That's how long it takes all the leaves to fall off the trees that do that. It started last week. It's gonna be around eighty for the next few days and then I'm sure it will be winter by end of the month with some rain and temps down to 60. It's almost unbearable. Send supplies.; ৩/১১/১২, ৯:২৮ PM

mesquito বলেছেন...: Autumn ends for mesquito when they set the clocks back, after-work bike rides end, and seasonal affective disrder sets in.

:(; ৩/১১/১২, ৯:৪৩ PM
Guildofcannonballs বলেছেন...: If not responsible for the deaths of very individual American SEALS, what does the term "indirectly" mean with regards to Althouses culpability?

Sorry to break the news, ignorance has never been an excuse that passes muster.; ৩/১১/১২, ৯:৫৯ PM
Ignorance is Bliss বলেছেন...: Ann Althouse said...

Meade did that painting with great care.

And, I suspect, no small amount of love.; ৩/১১/১২, ১০:০০ PM
Ellen বলেছেন...: That's a lovely plant job, too. Cercis canadensis, no?
The lovely pink flowers in spring will be brilliant on Meade's canvas of cream.; ৩/১১/১২, ১০:৪০ PM
Chip Ahoy বলেছেন...: Meade did that painting with great care.

Riiiiight. Mead did. Care. Great.

Oh I am sorry. I do apologize. I'm wrong all over the place. Boy, do I ever have egg on my face now.

Freeman Hunt বলেছেন...: Headline on Drudge:

"MOTHER OF SEAL: 'I BELIEVE OBAMA MURDERED MY SON'... "

How I read it initially:

Very puzzled for a moment.; ৪/১১/১২, ১২:৪৮ AM

Freeman Hunt বলেছেন...: Seal has a mom?
I guess he'd have to.
Why would she think Obama had Seal killed?
Crackpot relative; what can you do?
Wait, Seal is dead?
And someone killed him?!

One should always read the following headline right away, before pondering, to clarify.; ৪/১১/১২, ১২:৫২ AM

Fprawl বলেছেন...: Going on my fall canoe trip on the Suwannee in Georgia . Tupelo trees are great in the fall.
You all know the song but i bet you've never seen a water tupelo.

Bigger around the trunk than a cypress, great fall color, if you can call 76 degrees in Fargo Georgia Fall.; ৪/১১/১২, ৫:২৩ AM
AlanKH বলেছেন...: Apparently Bloomberg is refusing Nat'l Guard help due to the fact that they carry weapons.

http://www.humanevents.com/2012/11/03/bloomberg-refuses-national-guard-entry-into-brooklyn-because-they-carry-guns/

If the looters should get out of hand because of a lack of armed deterrent that National Guardsmen could have provided but didn't, the Drudge headline will read: BLOOMGHAZI.; ৪/১১/১২, ৫:৪৪ AM

Economics permitting I'll be visiting my daughter at Christmas in Huntington Beach. Last year I'd get up early to walk to the beach, about a mile away. It was always around 34-36 deg. Walk through the cold fog in a shirt, a sweater and a hoodie. By the time I got back it would be 75 and clear and I'd be carrying my sweater and sweatshirt.
I love the weather. Hate the congestion and expense.; ৪/১১/১২, ৫:৪৫ AM

Molly বলেছেন...: I know Althouse blog is interested in the semiotics of Drudge. Here's an interesting juxtaposition of headlines:
