From Frank at IMAO:

So Obama is whining about how FOX News is against him, which seems an odd complaint on a day when we find out ABC will turn its news program into an infomercial on his behalf to sell the public healthcare. Also, Bush had to deal with CBS, NBC, ABC, MSNBC, and CNN against him, and he didn’t whine. Then again, you have to remember things are much harder for Obama. He has absolutely no idea what he’s doing. And not like he can turn to his VP for wisdom. Thus Obama needs constant encouragement for all television channels to keep doing his job.

Maybe we should take some time to offer our own words of encouragement to him.

Obama, I know things have been difficult for you, but so far you haven’t accidentally cut off any of your fingers. That’s a victory right there. And even though you’ve been president for a few month, we haven’t had a nuclear attack. And though 10% unemployment seems like a lot, that is 90% employment which seems like even more. So just buck up and read whatever is on your teleprompter and I’m sure you’ll get through this.

Media Skeptical of Obama Stimulus Claims

In New York, Senate Coup Takes Down Dems

This one is actually pretty wild.

During the coup, Democrats fled the chamber, turned out the lights, and cut off the Internet feed of chamber proceedings, leaving Republicans and their two Democratic friends to take the vote in the dark.

EPA Proposes Tax on Cow Farts

And some fluffy entertainment news:

Katee Sackhoff Joins Season 8 of 24

But first, a helpful tip:

They are speed bumps, not land mines. Unless you are carrying hazardous chemicals or an Ace of Cakes cake in the back of your minivan, you do not need to slow to -15 mph before going over a six-inch hump in the road.

Anyway.

I was going to post about this this morning, but I ran out of time before my doctor's appointment.

I woke up last night around 2:30am and there was this insane storm going on. Keep in mind that in this part of CA we don't get serious thunderstorms in the late spring/summer very often. Maybe 1-2, would you say, starfinn?

What was wacky about this storm was that there was no rain and very little wind, but tons of clouds and tons of lightning. I couldn't hear much thunder, either because of wind or altitude or the fact that my windows really shut out the noise. But there was soooo much lightning... like, a pulse every few seconds, and then once a minute or so a stronger bolt of lightning. I've always been fascinated by thunderstorms rather than scared by them, but this made me feel a little bit of both. I opened up the curtains in my room and watched it until it stopped.

On the way home today there were so many clouds in the sky, and all different species... it was like a huge cloud orgy -- fluffy clouds and dark clouds and clouds that look cut off at the top and feathery ones and clouds that are stretched out in stripes. I'm sure kismatt could tell us all the technical names ;)

A few random notes:

1. 300 wins for Randy Johnson! Yay! (Cain calls him RJ, that is so cute *G*)

2. Steven Crowder does Keith Olbermann! (Eww, not like that)


3. skydiver119, I can only speak for myself, but personally I never found disagreeing with Bush to be unpatriotic. But sometimes the same people who were doing the complaining were, in the next breath, saying other things that came off as sounding unpatriotic.

4. Jacqueline Carey is going to be in SF again this June! I got to see her last summer when she was signing for Kushiel's Justice and it was pretty awesome. seldear, I wish your visit coincided with hers :(

5. Okay, I think that's it.
