Been away a few days ...
... big caucus this week at The Ponderosa to determine how to spend our tax cut -- we are, after all, among the valued 95% (the other 5% are second class citizens) due a tax cut ... though for many, who pay no income tax, that will amount to a welfare payment.
Anyhow, the consensus was to pool our windfalls and forward the sum total to the Flyers to put towards a UFA goalie next July.
Other time was spent developing a contingency plan for January 20, when the water in the crappers of The Ponderosa are said to be set to recede.
So, here's a quick digest of stuff that caught our funny bones this week:
Another Brick In 'The Wall'?
Janet Reno was incompetent but there's no evidence she was corrupt.
While the former is certainly true as regards Gorelick, the latter cannot be stated with any certainty.
Obama apologizes to Nancy Reagan for seance remark
Classy as ever, Barry!
Once again, people who are not funny should steer clear of humor.
Further, as silly as astrology is, is it any sillier -- much less dangerous -- than the blatherings of Saul Alinsky or 20 years of exposure to the anti-American rantings of the Rev. Wright -- both of which informed the worldview of our Oracle in Chief -- or sitting in the same room with unrepentant domestic terrorist William Ayers and not being man enough to slug him?
Scratch that last bit.
We've seen Obama's arms.
Send Your Children to D.C. Public Schools, Mr. President-Elect
Transcedent? Post-racial? A healer?
Nah, just another limo liberal beholden, as even he has admitted -- search for "I owe those unions" -- to the teachers' unions.
But where will his little sweeties go?
Hey, we can't blame the guy, though Sidwell -- if memory serves that is where dear Chelsea, daughter of two other friends of public education -- attended, is just a touch nutty.
We seem to recall a class trip to Cuba for precious Chelsea.
Mine went to Quebec City!
So, the Obama's would not be the first anti-choice (like that?) parents to deprive middle to lower class parents the opportunity to choose their kids' schools.
Better they be victimized -- er, indoctrinated -- by disciples of Bill Ayers than taught the literary canon, math, science and the true history of the Republic they are so fortunate to live in.
Obama's record on education reform -- essentially his time at the Chicago Annenberg Challenge where he and a guy in his neighborhood palled around -- er, collaborated -- -- is dismal.
No reason to expect any better now.
No teachers' union hack left behind!

The lesson here: If you're going to blaspheme, choose a true religion of peace to victimize.
Advice to Bash Back!: Don't try this in your local mosque.
You might leave minus your favorite organs.
Obama Planning U.S. Trials for Guantanamo Detainees
Ah, the fruits of Boumedienne!
Justice Kennedy's savage chickens coming home to roost!
It has always galled us that Kennedy occupies the seat that rightfully belongs to Robert Bork, one of the greatest juridical talents this Republic has ever produced.
And who helped keep him off the Supreme Court?
Your vice president-elect, a man with half the intellect and a quarter of the integrity.
Bork has more real hair on his chin than Biden has on his head.
And more smarts than the both of them.
Welcome to 9/10/01!
Red, white and true blue: City hoists Old Glory
In the Summer of 2003, we visited Seattle.
This was at the start of the incursion into Iraq.
We looked down from our swank room at the Westin and there were no American flags as far as the eye could see.
It's comforting to know that the election of a guy who tried to lose that war has spurred such patriotism in the hearts of Seattleites.
And the re-election of Baghdad Jim McDermott stirs in us a warming of the cockles not felt since we read McCullough's John Adams bio!
Funny how they needed to add these little tips at the end:
"RESPECTFULLY DISPLAYING THE FLAG"
Welcome to what all of us have known since we were five!
Hoss and little Joe want to head to the saloon in Virginia City for a bottle or two of whiskey.
Looks like I'm the designated wagon driver!

Another Brick In 'The Wall'?
Not many people can claim to have been at the center of arguably the greatest financial disaster and greatest national security disaster in American history. But Gorelick, said to be on the short list for attorney general by the New York Times, can. Surely that qualifies her for further government service.

Nah, just another limo liberal beholden, as even he has admitted -- search for "I owe those unions" -- to the teachers' unions.
But where will his little sweeties go?
When Michelle Obama visited Washington this week, she toured only two prospective schools for her daughters: Sidwell Friends, where lower-school tuition is $28,442; and Georgetown Day, where tuition is $27,445 for grades 1-5.
Hey, we can't blame the guy, though Sidwell -- if memory serves that is where dear Chelsea, daughter of two other friends of public education -- attended, is just a touch nutty.
