GE is to this adminstration as Volkswagon was to a prior German one.

Doesn't that pertain to the former Preds player, Martin Gelidas?

Martin Gelinas, one of my favorites and a good guy. We kept him in the organization though, for grooming younger players.

We are anxiously waiting for reports about the beat-down they so richly deserve.

Great word for this balmy, shorts-and-sandals winter we are having-

Despite this gelid winter
The envirowackos scream-
That mean old natural universe
Stole their cherished dream

Of human control of weather
By just turning off the lights
Making everyone walk everywhere
Wearing sweaters and tights

Now, instead of growing warmer
We’re buried in snow and ice-
Before they start whining yet again
They really should think twice

49 and rainy here, but supposed to be closer to normal highs tomorrow...

OK, so I can't actually work "gelid" into this, but here is the rant:

Have any of you noticed TheOne has been making commercials extolling the virtues of fatherhood?? OK, that's a good thing, but pay attention, because there's a nice official gubmint website referenced at the end of it...
http://www.fatherhood.gov

Surely I am not the only right-wing crazy who sees the extrmeme irony in this.
A government who has spent the last 45 years and gazillions of our dollars DESTROYING the role of the father - especially so in minority communities - by pushing a welfare system that actually discourages the presence of a father in the home has exactly WHAT moral authority to now tell us that maybe a 2-parent family just might be a good thing?

And if we have degenerated to such a pitiful condition that we need the Big Brother Nanny State to share such wisdom....well, good God!! Just beam me up NOW!

HOLY COW!

SHEILA JACKSON-LEE GETS BOOED in the HEART OF HER OWN DISTRICT!

See the blog post at 8:24...keep in mind that she is on the campus of TSU, a predominantly black university. Apparently, her self-promoting appearance was NOT appreciated.

Looks like the atmosphere in sunny California is getting more gelid by the day:

(BTW, I’m from L.A. originally. The decline is very sad.)

A+ for you! We’ve had rain all day and more is predicted for the next couple of days.

A+ for the rant of the gelid-hearted government, stepping in to be Big Daddy.
