Saturday

[nightdog_barks]

Warm and sunny -- 89 degrees (31.7 Celsius) and a bit humid. Temps have been above normal for the season the past few days. Need to run a couple of errands today.

In national news, I see that loon Christine O'Donnell has cancelled her scheduled appearances on Face the Nation and Fox News Sunday. Color me shocked, but not very. I imagine they had to cancel the latter to make it look good, because on the former they might have asked her about the mice with human brains and why it would have been wrong to lie to the Nazis, even if you were hiding Jews. No, for real. Of course, she said that way back in 1998, so maybe she's gotten smarter since then. But I doubt it.

Otherwise ... here's a pic of a cute kid on the back of a giant ox. Honestly, it looks like this should be on a postcard. *g*

It's hot and sunny today, but not steamy, thank goodness.

I managed to get to the grocery store before most of the Saturday crowd hit, then went to the Latino produce market and got the most beautiful sweet red peppers and sweet potatoes.

After lunch, there will be lots of housecleaning. I've been a bit slack lately and it shows.

Heeee. That mice thing is...special. And someone (don't remember who) on Rachel Maddow's show said that there has never been that much talk about masturbation in the news on politics. Made me grin.
On a more serious note, that whole "principles before people and rationality because God would have told me if it was otherwise" attitude is very sad.

And in completely other news, it's entirely fall here now, 15°C and a lot of wind. Beautifully coloured skies, though.

The Tea Party candidates all are tied in to their ideology that they can't see their own stupidity. Ideology wins every time with them and that's why they are so scary. They actually believe the idiocies they spout. It's why so many of them are not being touted on tv. Whoever their handlers are all know that if they actually are seen saying this stuff repeatedly some of those who voted for them in the primaries will wake up.

So many of those Tea Party candidates leave me with the feeling: "Wait, are we being p'unked?"

The Tea Party never ceases to astonish me. It's like a Monty Python Sketch ("The Idiocracy") except not funny. The photo on the other hand is great. I only wish that they had also identified the dog. It looks like a Tamaskan, but it could also be a Czechoslovakian Wolfdog, or Utonagan. No way it's a Saarlooswolfhound based on its' evident relaxed temperament. This dog fanatic would like to know, though.

What's-her-name needs to re-read that part where Rahab (who was ... *gasp* ... a prostitute) hid the Jewish scouts and lied about it.

I skimmed the comments thread over there and someone said that the Democratic candidate is now substantially in the lead, where he'd been behind against the non-Tea Republican. I guess the saner conservatives are bailing just like they did when it was Palin.

Ringo is stoned out of his mind.
