The things we pay for

Local radio is running a somewhat breathless report from the DNR. The conservaton bureaucrats  revealed that the ice on the lakes is getting thinner. After a careful study, they attribute the cause to spring. They say you should be careful out there.

Oh, shut up.

People I'm tired of:

Charlie Sheen

Kate Middleton

Programs! Get your programs here!

Five of them are in Iowa tonight. They make up about half of the crowd  of Republicans who think they know how to regulate you and will say anything, promise anything, for your agreement.

Reporters are estimating the attendance in a Waukee church at some 800, not counting hundreds of big-city journalists functioning this evening as ethnologists examining the rustic tribes of Bucolia.

Tonight's five are paying obeisance to the sponsoring  "Iowa Faith and Freedom (sic) Council," one of the several  political/evangelical operations which rule the Iowa poitical roost.

They are:

--Herman Cain, The Godfather. Widely suspected as the perpetrator of the first pineapple pizza.

--Newt Gingrich who, in the absence of Sarah Palin, is functioning as Rock Star pro tem.

--Tim Pawlenty, successor to Jesse Ventura, believer in small government except for free stadiums for professional sports moguls and tax-financed light rail systems.

--Buddy Roemer, a plantation-raised former Democrat and  Louisiana  governor. He decides things after snapping the rubber band on his wrist. cf. Marie LaVeau

--Rick Santorum of Pennsylvania who, however sanctified, is just plain weird, a living lesson in the harm done by sniffing the Pittsburgh coal dust.

It's going to be a long eleven months

TBC.
Damn, but you have to love living in a country where people like this still exist. I refer to the South Dakota sheriff with nobly-acquired buffalo shit on his boots --  not the Florida ass who won't take care of his own animals.
