Dixcus said...: Over 1,000 people are missing and still unaccounted for in North Carolina alone and the media couldn't be bothered. The entire northwestern part of South Carolina and most of western North Carolina are untravellable. Media couldn't care less. Can't make Kamala look bad right before the election.

This is Kamala's Katrina.; 9/29/24, 6:02 PM

tim in vermont said...: The sunset today was a dead ringer for the sky during the total eclipse. I guess it was the clear skies to the west.; 9/29/24, 6:19 PM
tim in vermont said...: Thanks for the heads up.; 9/29/24, 6:23 PM
The rule of Lemnity said...: A Google Maps refrain these days; "Your route may be affected by Georgia Floods".

If Kamala or Trump were driving: "Your route to the White House may be affected by... "; 9/29/24, 6:26 PM
Narr said...: The silver-tongued devil is dead. RIP Kris Kristofferson at 88--older than I would have thought.

Played opposite whatzername in A Bore Is Star'n'.; 9/29/24, 6:33 PM
paminwi said...: Saw that a congressman was on X asking for generators for constituents on ventilators. Guess that’s how people are getting their vital needs these days. AndJohn Kerry says we need to get rid of that pesky 1st Amendment because there is so much misinformation out there. Is this Congressman posting misinformation? I mean we could all think FEMA & local , state governments will take care of citizen’s needs.; 9/29/24, 6:37 PM

Well... first, you have to determine whether or not they're Democrats and likely to vote for you. That takes time, you know.; 9/29/24, 6:41 PM
tim in vermont said...: Just goes to show that good looks aren't enough to be a movie star.; 9/29/24, 6:47 PM
wildswan said...: I feel very curious about what's coming next in the Mid-East. Israel has just struck terrifying blows against the terrorist groups which were Iranian proxies. And Iran seem ready to retaliate and order a fight to the last member by Hamas, Hezbollah and the Houthis. This is an attitude towards others which the Mid-East well understands. What will the terrorists do? - especially since they realize that they are literally in Israeli gunsights and that Israel is - choosing its next target. Who feels lucky?; 9/29/24, 6:52 PM

It will be faster once they're able to force us to wear badges.; 9/29/24, 6:55 PM

tcrosse said...: The Harris campaign TV ads seem to be getting more and more panicky. They are preaching to the choir rather than trying to persuade.; 9/29/24, 6:57 PM
tcrosse said...: You rang?; 9/29/24, 6:58 PM
Original Mike said...: There's an ad where she says when she was a prosecutor, she never asked if you were a Republican or a Democrat. I actually find that quite shocking. What kind of mind goes there? I would have assumed it, until she apparently found it necessary to say so. But now, I don't believe her.

The ad runs a lot in Wisconsin, and it grates on me every time I hear it.; 9/29/24, 7:03 PM

Aggie said...: No, it isn't and never will be. She's just the VP and not in charge of anything related to disasters. All it is for her, is a missed opportunity.

I do notice, as I'm sure many others do, that nobody is stepping forward with a helping hand, from the Federal Government. Nobody taking ownership. They're plenty willing to work up mischief behind closed doors and spring it on the unsuspecting public, but when it comes to being constructive, it goes against their grain.; 9/29/24, 7:11 PM

Big Mike said...: Also a US Army helicopter pilot and he completed Army Ranger training, though I don’t know whether he actually served in Ranger unit.; 9/29/24, 7:13 PM
tim in vermont said...: I am just so happy to spend my time in states that are not in play, VT and FL. Nobody wastes too much money on either state. But the one ad I did see, it seemed like she was running for Santa Claus's job.; 9/29/24, 7:13 PM

Josephbleau said...: The last of the red hot Scandinavians. Seems to me that the average life expectancy (if you live to 70) is pushing 90. My Mom lived to 100, and decided she wanted to die due to lung necrosis. Don't depend on social security, buy Berkshire B shares if you are an optimist, buy gold if not.; 9/29/24, 7:14 PM
Josephbleau said...: Government functionaries are there to tell you no, so that your congressman can intervene and be your hero.; 9/29/24, 7:20 PM
The rule of Lemnity said...: Is this true?: "Harris / Walz Campaign BUSTED for using 2 paid actors to pretend they were former Pennsylvania Farmers & Trump Voters who switched to Kamala. Turns out the 2 were not only actors but democrat donors for years."; 9/29/24, 7:21 PM
Josephbleau said...: In my opinion, this is where the little kid punches the bully in the nose. The bully is nonplussed and demands it little kid be punished.; 9/29/24, 7:23 PM

The rule of Lemnity said...: "I will miss being your eyes and ears, but 42 years, all I can say is, can you believe it?"

Joe Castiglione, long time voice of the red sox on the radio retires.

If you ever watched "In the Bedroom" (2001) he's the one doing the game play by play.; 9/29/24, 7:30 PM
Josephbleau said...: Just saw a vid of Walz flipping the bird to a student at the Michigan game who yelled Trump 2024. That's what happens when you are elected to high office in a one party state.

Why not smile at him and move on?; 9/29/24, 7:31 PM
tim in vermont said...: OK, I flipped on a weather channel to check in on the Carolinas, where I have many close friends, and the forecast for the high temp for Boston was 67° F, not C, but F, and the color to indicated it was orange.

They just lie and lie and lie and repeat the lie and repeat the lie and repeat the lie. Is a high temperature of 67° hot? No, it's a lie. But if they repeat it enough, you will come to accept it.; 9/29/24, 7:34 PM
Josephbleau said...: That also makes me really wonder about him as a CSM E-9 in the Minn NG. Is that how he treated his enlisted folks?; 9/29/24, 7:34 PM
Sprezzatura said...: "I actually find that quite shocking. What kind of mind goes there? I would have assumed it, until she apparently found it necessary to say so."

You do assume this? If so you are very different than a lot of people that go on and on about political "lawfare."

DJT first ran w/ promises of "locking her up."

And, DJT fired Comey because Comey (registered R for most of his adult life) overly used the government to go after HRC before the 2016 election.

When you put these things together you get DJT promoting the investigation of HRC, and Comey did do that, but it turns out Comey investigating HRC was not legit (you may call it the deep state run amok attacking HRC), so DJT used Comey's having gone after HRC as the official reason to fire Comey.

Anywho, I don't believe you when you say you don't know anything about politically motivated prosecutors.; 9/29/24, 7:42 PM
rehajm said...: Is that the last of the batch of respected Boston game callers? Who’s left? I still consider Sean McDonough Boston even though he’s national now…and because of his dad…; 9/29/24, 7:48 PM
Breezy said...: Harris ad this evening in NC claimed Trump was anti IVF. Despicable lie.; 9/29/24, 7:48 PM
Mason G said...: DJT first ran w/ promises of "locking her up."

I don't remember hearing that. Do you have a link to back up your claim?; 9/29/24, 7:50 PM
Original Mike said...: A while ago somebody put together a side-by-side of 2 UK national weather service temperature maps. One was from like the 1970s and the other was recent. Both temperatures for the days in question were similar (maybe it was in the 80s in the south and 70s in the north). The old map was rendered in pleasant greens and yellow, the new in scary red and orange. Same temperatures, very different impression.; 9/29/24, 7:51 PM
Original Mike said...: anti-de Sitter Space, right?; 9/29/24, 7:54 PM
Eva Marie said...: With candidate Kamala replacing candidate Biden, are the Democrats training, brainwashing us, to think of the Presidency as purely a ceremonial position?The permanent bureaucracy takes over the actual functions of the Presidency and every four years we pick a ceremonial head of state.; 9/29/24, 8:07 PM
Sprezzatura said...: Yes OM, I've used that name and many others.
