Another side of Bob and more!

One more night, I will wait for the light
While the wind blows high above the tree.
Oh, I miss my darling so,
I didn't mean to see her go,
But tonight no light will shine on me.

Weather ...3:19 pm

While some of us bask in unseasonably mild weather (like here in New York, where frankly I have no hesitation in hoping it lasts all winter), others in the U.S. have had it very tough indeed. And from John McCaslin in the the Washington Times today (tks to MW) there is this pointed observation on how they’re handling it:

“Weather Bulletins” from both North Dakota and Colorado are making the rounds on Capitol Hill, about how the regions are recovering from 90-mile-per-hour blizzards that dropped upward of 44 inches of snow, broke trees in half, knocked down utility poles, cut power to tens of thousands, closed roads and stranded motorists in lethal snow banks.

Nevertheless, say the creators of the bulletins: “George Bush did not come. FEMA did nothing. No one howled for the government. No one blamed the government. No one even uttered an expletive on TV. Jesse Jackson or Al Sharpton did not visit. Our mayor did not blame Bush or anyone else. Our governor did not blame Bush or anyone else, either. CNN, ABC, CBS, FOX or NBC did not visit — or report on this category 5 snowstorm. Nobody demanded $2,000 debit cards. No one asked for a FEMA trailer house. No one looted. No Larry King, no Bill O’Reilly, no Oprah. … ”

It goes on and on and on, but you get the message.
