Some odds and ends from around the intertoobs before I head out in search of the perfect snow shovel in preparation for the Great Texas Blizzard of '09:
Someone put the G-nO-P on suicide watch, unemployment is coming down.
What a shocker, Sarah Palin is a birther.
Speaking of Sarah, she's set to be the keynote speaker at the 2010 International Bowl Expo. Gutter ball, anyone?
WWJD? Cut the estate tax. So says Louie Gohmert.
Health care reform. For left-handed, near-sighted, red-haired lion tamers, born on odd-numbered days in even-numbered years in months ending in -er only.
And on a lighter note to end the week, (some of) the best of Groucho Marx.

Artemusg, well done, young grasshopper!
Carol - you will appreciate it that I just emailed Sparkle to take it all back, all of the nasty things I have said about her over the years. She is NOT the dumbest Republican I have ever heard of, though the competition is intense. The mayor of Arlington TN wins the award.
I know why you used Christmas lights, but it still made me smile, the thought of those decorated plants . . .
Bobo, I covered mine with some Christmas lights and then sheets, but I don't have a great deal of hope for them.
Artemusg, WTF? I am more concerned that this idiot is a parent and is spouting this shit - I am quite certain - around his children! And he certainly does not speak for me. What a jerk!
Big white fluffy flakes in southeast Houston.
But back to the topic of stupid Republicans"
Here's another GOP small town mayor (obviously VP material) via DailyKos:
"The mayor of a suburb of Memphis, Tenn. has accused, via Facebook, President Obama of deliberately timing his speech about the war in Afghanistan this week to block the airing of the "Peanuts" Christmas TV special. The Commercial Appeal found that Arlington Mayor Russell Wiseman posted the statements on his Facebook page, limited to friends viewing only, and said the president was Muslim. UPDATE: In voting at the Commercial Appeal site, 52% of the readers have said they agreed that the mayor "speaks for a lot of Americans."
Here is one key quote from the Facebook posting: "Ok, so, this is total crap, we sit the kids down to watch 'The Charlie Brown Christmas Special' and our muslim president is there, what a load.....try to convince me that wasn't done on purpose. Ask the man if he believes that Jesus Christ is the Son of God and he will give you a 10 minute disertation (sic) about it....when the answer should simply be 'yes'...."
Serious blizzard in Spring Branch. Houston gardening question: what is the affect of snow on tomato plants? :-D
The great blizzard has already hit my neighborhood Des.
I uploaded some pics to the local paper -- labeled southeast Houston. I also posted some to my Facebook Page.
You may not need a shovel. It's sticking on the ground, but not the sidewalks, or streets.
And, it's still coming down.
About Sarah - somebody make her go away -- Please.
And, maybe she could take Gomer with her???
It's enough to deal with the snow.
In the same conversation in which she rejects crazy conspiracy theories, she lends credence to the crazy conspiracy theory about Obama. The distinction she tries to make is that she doesn't believe it, but other people do, so it is fair game.
So, in that same light, ex-Governor, please show up Trig's birth certificate. Far more evidence that he is not her child than there is supporting evidence suggesting Obama is not a citizen. And she is still talking about running in 2012!
