Brrr. 45 degrees here this morning. On the plus side, I got to try out the heater in my new car.

When the guests on Hannity, or OReilly, break down into brabble, I switch the channel to something else.

Seldom. That is why we normally watch only Greta.

the eastern european stoicism of my beloved disco dan has been sorely tried of late. the time for brabbling is past, they better buckle down and play.

Used to be, the media scrambled for the “honor” of being first with the “news” - with information. Ripping down barriers and exposing errors and scandals.

Now, they are fighting to put stretch up newer and higher brabble-wired fences around their precious administration to protect and defend the illegitimate led by the unknowing in pursuit of the great unwashed .....

Game 1 looked like 08 against Detroit. Just being outhustled and not getting any lucky bounces.

Last night was just desperation feeding on desparation. Rask is doing a superb job and the Pens are playing panicked.

Now a goalie question as well. I say Vokoun.

Bob Beckel the big dope
for him there is no hope.
His brand of brabble
sounds like the devil’s babel.
With truth the man cannot cope.

your goalies are both iffy. if they get spooked they are done. Marchand did an excellent job of spooking MAF right out of the box there. Vokoun is not a world beater, in our experience with him, anyway. They are both going to have to dig deep and find some grit somewhere.

Jay Carney brabbles on with reporters as he works to protect the Brabbler in Chief.

Barack lives by lying and brabble
A demagogue stoking the rabble
Gives Matthews a thrill
But he evokes Dr. Phil
With his meaningless, trite psychobabble

Vokie is much more reliable. And we like him because he's a great guy.
Here's another song that you could sing as Brabylon.
