--- It's snowing here.

They're estimating six to ten inches by the time it's all over with tonight.

So, what I want to know is where are the news crews? Eh? I mean, it's a blizzard...right? If every blizzard is such a big damn deal, well then we should be getting 24 hour news coverage, too, correct?

Oh, that's right. We're not on the east coast, therefore it doesn't matter.

Just once I wish the news people would realize that HELLO the United States has a whole heck of a lot of square footage that isn't
on the Eastern seaboard. And most of us don't care if NYC is snowed in.
It would behoove them to stop being so fricking lazy.
Then again, if you're a pretty UND student and you're abducted from the
mall while chatting with your boyfriend on your cell phone, chances are
high that you'll probably pass the litmus test that the national media
has established for actually sending reporters to gasp North Dakota.

There's just no telling, is there?

--- So, ya think Joe Lieberman is
kicking himself in the ass right about now? Poor Guy. You could tell he
didn't want to have a damn thing to do with the Florida brouhaha in
2000. You could tell that the nastier it got, the more Lieberman just
wanted to slink away from the whole mess. You knew he thought it was a
lost cause, but that either way it split, he was going to benefit from
it so he'd just put up with it. If they won the recall, he'd be Vee-P.
If they lost, he'd be the frontrunner for the nomination in 2004. Well,
Gore just shot that all to hell and Joe is probably a wee bit upset
with his former running mate. It's understandable because, honestly, he
just got the shaft. Almost makes you want to vote for him, eh?
--- Confession for the day I am a big idiot when it comes to HTML. This
is the lovely computerese-y stuff that gives "the extras" on this blog,
like italics and bold print. I know the basics, but if you want
something fancy, I'm definitely not the girl to kick the ball to, ya
dig? Because I will undoubtedly drop it.
If there is a cartoon on the site, or a photo or anything like that, I
ask the husband to post it for me. Now, I'm generally covered on this
one in the "asking of favors" department because we have to put this
stuff on his
server, and he doesn't want me to have access to that because I'll
probably screw it up. Fair enough, but it does get me off the hook for
having to learn how to do it, too. My knowledge is lacking, in
other words, because I've never had to do it.
Such is the situation we have today. Found something funny on the web
yesterday, wanted the husband to put it on his server and asked him to
send me the link to it so I could put it up here. This is nothing out
of the ordinary, mind you. He sent me back a link, but it didn't look
like all the links he's sent me in the past, so I ask him, very
politely, to send me the correct link.
Obviously, he now has reason to doubt my intelligence, but I don't know
this. I'm blissfully ignorant. This is what he sent back: This is the link. When people click on it, they should get
an option to download the file...unless they have their Windows Media
Player settings to somewhere between "I don't care how MS plans to
monitor my pr0n habit" and "Allow Bill Gates and his minions to examine
me rectally at any time without notice", then, of course, it'll stream
to their desktop.

{Insert much mirth here}

Anyway, here's the disputed link.

I hope you're in the mood for some Bert and Ernie.

--- I'm off to fire up the snowblower! YEE-HAW! Ride 'em Toro!
