Monday open thread

As I noted in my prior post, I am buried under morning – not sure when I’ll be able to come up for air but hopefully it’ll be sometime in the early afternoon. Here’s an open thread to discuss what’s hot and happening in the meantime.

Update 7:17 PM: Ugh. Long day … be back to posting in just a few mins.

Hi there, Sis!

I’m buried under, too, but I wanted to say hi. It was great to meet you this weekend. I had so much fun!

I’m lucky enough to have the day off for Columbus Day, so I’m going out to celebrate the discovery of the New World by that evil white European male, Chris Columbus.

More liberal perspective from Flopping Aces

The Duke Lacrosse story has one journalist converted to a believer in the blogosphere.

Was NK’s blast nuclear?

The Labor Department released its September jobs report on Friday, and some wags are calling it the “whoops” report. The “whoops” is a reference to the upward revision of 810,000 previously undetected jobs that Labor now says were created in the U.S. economy in the 12 months through March 2006.

So instead of 5.8 million new jobs over the past three years, the U.S. economy has created 6.6 million. That’s a lot more than a rounding error, more than the number of workers in the entire state of New Hampshire. READ ON!

– Well to put it another way Bak, no one was hurt or killed this year from the “15” major hurricanes that weren’t. Happily the only people that got hurt, their feelings anyway, were all the Liberal global warming fearmongers. Since Bush is all omniferant, he’s to blame for everything according to the GP’s, where are their cheers for him stopping all the ‘canes. *snort*

Bang, haven’t you heard? Karl Rove stopped the hurricanes this year as an election ploy. Just like the falling gas prices. It’s all an eeevil Republican plot.

Personally, I want a president who can control the weather.

I just filled up here in Central Florida, premium (which my car needs) was $2.399 a gallon at the Shell station near the university. Regular was $1.999.
