there was a strong storm front all across the Mississippi. Unfortunately his plane got through.
...nope I gotta rearrange my sock shelf
Hes A’ Community Organizin!
Is he being paid for his speaking appearance at this for-profit corporate conference?
What about Mrs. Obama who is giving a speech there next week,
Even the access badges are ‘compensation’ as the ‘get in any show’ badge runs $1000 while the peons’ wristbands (that don’t guarantee admission) are $200.
Has any other sitting president made such a speaking appearance during his term? This is different than a college graduation speech.
What’s an “SXSW?”
Well at least he’s not at Nancy Reagan’s funeral, FWIW. Unfortunately, we do know who is going in his stead.
While the World burns.
“South by South West” is a music and art festival that happens over several days in the (keep in’ it weird) Austin area.
Maybe I’ll see if I can get my colonoscopy moved up.
Austin is infamous for its nightmare traffic . O will only make it impossible . The Mayor is asking people not to go to work today .
Who wants Jell-O shots while you wait?
Already had a visit by the Secret Service yesterday. Didn’t announce themselves, but due to circumstances, pretty sure it was his pretty boys. Looked at everything in the office. They know who posts here and what we think. No problem. Even the emperor would not be able to stop the hand from writing on the wall.
33 miles north of ABIA. Heavy cloud cover.
Big plane flew over at 07:20 this morning.
Low and slow.
Their advice to work-a-day Austinites: stay away from the city’s core Friday, at least between about noon and 8 p.m. The city itself will have many of its employees telecommute or take that day off, and the Austin school district will let out students for the day just after noon (and right before the president’s arrival) at 15 schools mostly in Central and South Austin.
Also, everyone along the motorcade has been advised through the media to NOT be on their balconies (high rises), not be out in the front yard or on the porch, not to look at their windows or get on rooftops. Sounds like Moquetezuma passing through town (You could not look at him, you could not touch him, you could not turn your back on him - that leaves only bowing down very low to the ground.)
I will be no where near Austin today .
I was there a couple weeks ago to see my sister’s bands gig. Traffic was pretty bad Fri afternoon but we had a blast. 50 to 80% chance of rain today. Austin will come to a standstill this afternoon once the Presidents motorcade winds thru town.
Schools and businesses are closing, people are leaving Austin in droves…no one wants to hang around with the exception of the young Leftist geeks who are expected to give him some big checks for his library. Then he heads to Dallas to pluck cash from some aging Democrats there. Obama hates Texas except it’s the only place outside of CA that he can still scam some folks out of their dividend money.
“Well at least he’s not at Nancy Reagan’s funeral, FWIW. Unfortunately, we do know who is going in his stead.”
Unfortunately, I read that Moochell is going. I wish that neither one of them would taint Mrs. Nancy Reagan’s funeral with their presence. Nancy Reagan showed her love for her husband each and every day and I have nothing but the utmost respect for her.
