My brother sent me this from Virginia’s Northern Neck.
We used to get these down on the farm.

Elephants Can Forget 0
Reg Henry comments on convenient conventional lapses:
(snip)
This is a truly inspired type of forgetfulness, because it makes Mr. Obama responsible for everything. Republicans are blessed because they can’t remember the deficit when what’s-his-face was in the White House, suggesting to them that it probably didn’t happen. Nor can they remember Rep. Paul Ryan’s part in supporting the huge spending by whoever was doing it.

A letter to the editor of the Philadelphia Inquirer reminds disaffected lefties that creating change takes work, not magic.
Here’s a nugget:
This is what change looks like: Forty-some millionaires and billionaires fund the flood of negative ads across the airwaves. Romney approves flat-out lies – in three waves of welfare attack ads, despite independent fact-checkers and Mr. Conservative, Joe Scarborough (“Morning Joe”), discrediting his claims. No shame – the ads continue!
Read the whole thing.
Then take his advice and grow up already.

Yes, really.
I’m Back 0
Spent yesterday trying to get my new modem on line. For some fool reason, it and the router would not talk.
I actually arranged for my ISP to send out some techs. They walked into the room, looked at the modem, and it starting talking to the router.
As we used to say in tech support, FM.
Now to catch up on the old RSS feeds.

Down at the Farm 0
The cable modem is celebrating the birthday of this blog by going to that big recycling bin in the sky.
It’s not completely gone, but goes in and out.
The regularly scheduled insanity will resume when the connection does.
Meanwhile, visit some of the fine blogs in the blogroll, over there, on the sidebar.

Happy Birthday to Me 0
Celebrating seven years ofuninterrupted drivel unleashed
on the innerwebs!
Every time I think I’ve run out of blogging juice, Republicans do something to re-energize the outrage.
I shall celebrate by taking it easy today.
