These Buffalo   live near Roanoke.  These beasts simply amaze me. 

They just seem so primative.

What about that mini blizzard this afternoon?

So far contraception has been our favorite topic to fight about in a long time.  I find that amazing also.

    Gabby Gifford aid, Ron Barber, is running to fill her seat. He has bi-partisan campaign co-chairs, and one is my former Air Force colleague, Col (ret) Terrie Gent. I know AZ is a long way from NoVA, but those who share an interest in keeping a little common sense in Congress might want to consider supporting Ron. http://goo.gl/YVu2O

      Moe, can you find out where this team stands on the immigration issue as it relates to the governor. Does this person think that SB1070.

    Anthony Shadid, NYT reporter, dead at age 43 in Syria. Asthma attack. Next time we are tempted to blow off environmental/clean air issues his death might be something to think about. Many middle eastern countries are filthy and have horrible air quality.

    One of my Brit friends nearly died in Egypt. Asthma. Triggered by the filth there.

    Next time you are tempted to politicize clean air and act like only sissies care about such things, think about Shadid and my friend Roger. It is actually a very serious matter. Right now the Shenandoah Valley is suffering because of the toxins coming down from Canada. Trees on the Skyline Drive are dying off. So what other countries do is a serious matter.

    Yes, companies will go cheap when it comes to taking care of air quality.

    “Anthony Shadid, NYT reporter, dead at age 43 in Syria. Asthma attack. Next time we are tempted to blow off environmental/clean air issues his death might be something to think about.”

    But his father said that the attack was caused by horses that he was allergic to..

    “Shadid’s father, Buddy Shadid, told The Associated Press on Thursday his son had asthma all his life and had medication with him.

    “(But) he was walking to the border because it was too dangerous to ride in the car,” the father said. “He was walking behind some horses — he’s more allergic to those than anything else — and he had an asthma attack.”

    I also don’t know where “Syria” is on the map. I just now that it ain’t AMERICA so I really don’t care. 🙂

    It seems that there are 2 Just the Facts on the dark screen–a real one and a fake one.

    One of them still wants to bury the hatchet right in Martha Hendley’s back. John Stirrup doesn’t fare much better. Given the venom involved in attacking Ms. Hendley, it is pretty obvious that the fake Just is a Leopard Skin Liar. That’s too bad. The election is over and has been.

    If I were the real JTF, I would be furious.

    As the Republican nomination battle — which once looked to be a Romney rout — has devolved into an ugly, lengthy struggle, Obama has opened up his biggest lead in months over his potential GOP rivals.

    Obama now leads Romney, 52% to 44%, in a potential presidential matchup, according to the Pew Research Center — his largest lead over the ex-Massachusetts governor since June.

    The President also has a 10-point lead on Santorum in the survey.

    Obama, who now has comfortable leads over Romney (7 points) and Santorum (8 points) in a similar Rasmussen Reports tracking poll, has seen his popularity rise amid a series of political victories and encouraraging news about the economy.

      I find it scary that that many people would vote for someone who is that far left. I am not exactly a glow in the dark liberal.
