And this is what it feels like outside.  BRRRRRRRrrrrrrr.  This new weather is just cruel. 

I always thought Igloos were made of snow blocks that resembled sugar cubes!

What shoe will fall this week in South Carolina?

    I seem to remember that justice Thomas said that he had not heard of or, at least, never
    formed an opinion about Rowe vs. Wade. True? Possible?

    @Cato the Elder
    Cato,

    Apparently, you are correct. SC will be an open primary. I had heard it stated in several “news” reports it would be closed, due to their pushing the date up in reaction to FL moving their date up. Guess I’ll have to wait till FL to do my analysis. One thing about SC. One thing about SC: they have a perfect record of predicting who the eventual GOP nominee is, going back to RR. On the “D” side, the only one they missed was picking Edwards. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/South_Carolina_primary

  3. @punchak, you recall correctly. Now how can that be?

    I seem to recall him lying about a few other things too. Of course we will never know for sure on that one.

  4. Perry dropping out!!!

    I am going to miss that dude. I feel like all these people dropping out are like old friends saying good bye…sort of like when Buffy was no longer on.

  5. If someone held a gun to my head and said I had to vote for Santorum or Rick Perry, I would vote for Perry 1000 times faster than Santorum.

    As much as I find his world view strange and not mine, I still sort of like him. He has kept me entertained and I think he is sincere. He also gets an A for showing the most improvement in delivery style.

    Governor of Texas yes. presidential–?? not even close.

    I haven’t decided…but I’m leaning to no on the deductions. Let’s streamline the entire thing. We need to do the same thing to gov’t and gov’t spending.

    1. I expect that will hurt the housing industry that really needs to recover. @cargo

  7. Here’s a question. Supposition has risen on Romney’s possible VP picks, ie McDonnell….

    So, who would Gingrich, Santorum, or Paul pick?

  8. Is anyone here enough of a hunter to name bird remains? Elena’s dog got hold of some bird that isn’t a vulture. She thinks it is a wild turkey. All that is left is feathers, head and leg with talon. If I post it, can someone identify it?

    What large bird has feathers that are gray with fairly large white spots?

    What large bird has feathers that are gray with fairly large white spots?

    Sounds like Caddigan, oops, white spots not liver spots, my bad.

    Moon – Elena’s dog might have gotten hold of the Cruise Ship captain – you the one, Chicken of the Sea.

    M-h, what color are the talons? Wild turkeys do have spotted feathers. Is the head pretty featherless? Buteos are somewhat spotted but much smaller than turkeys.

  12. @Moon-howler

    The talons are grey. Censored, want me to send you the picture of the headless horseman? I think it is a guinea hen. She called the owners and asked how many they had at the moment. I think the kid didn’t want to be bothered with going to count and just lied to her.

  13. Censored: guts picture on its way. Actually is it a faceless head and a leg with talon and a big pile of feathers.

    My dog tears faces off things too but so far he has only gotten hold of toys.

    @Moon-howler

    Looks like a guinea hen to me too.
