THE WEEKEND IN PREVIEW Longtime readers of this blog and my former one will know that I am not above blogging about the weather, and this weekend I may just sink into that self-indulgence this weekend. Here's what Drudge reports (with a non-trivial assist by AccuWeather):  The Washington Canard may be stuck in the eye of the storm — to be meteorologically incorrect about it — but at least it looks like we'll just miss the eye of a 50-mile-wide capital letter R. Weather.com tells me the two-triple-oh-nine area code could get as much as nine inches. But because Capital Weather usually aims high in the over/under and they say it'll only be 7" maximum, I'm guessing we'll get four. But if I am stuck inside this weekend, there just might be a flurry of blog posts. That's not a promise... more like a weak ploy to get you to click back again over the weekend just so someone will notice if I do go all out, which as I said is not a given. Excited? P.S. — You know those stupid ads that are designed to look an awful lot like real headlines on the Drudge Report? For some reason, they're running in the UK Guardian (hit reload if you get a different ad) as well:  This one I think is so stupid it's genius — obviously we're to draw the inference that the POTUS himself is sitting there in the Oval personally conducting surveillance. Whatever he's listening to, it sure must be interesting. Is that the look of a man listening to you rant on C-SPAN about the Zionist Occupied Government? Well... Anyway, the poll goes to NewsMax, which claims it "will provide the results of this poll to major media." I am sure they will, and I am equally sure Bush will be moonlighting for the NSA before it appears in the Washington Post. And I know the Guardian has a significant American readership, but isn't it a little strange for a right-wing U.S. site to be soliciting opinions from readers of a left-wing UK paper? (Note: I'm not sure why I'm compelled to put periods after the U and the S above but not after the U and the K.) Just asking. P.P.S. If this was Sesame Street, I would (and even though it isn't, I still will) add that this post has been brought to you by the letters R, U, S, and K. I don't know about you, but I'm inspired to learn more about former U.S. Secretary of State Dean Rusk. |
