Looks like we have another good day for melt, and thank heaven for it.
Even with last week’s relatively mild weather, we still have a foot or more of snow in some places.
Mother and Father of the Year, Part I
Read this, but only on an empty stomach.
Oh, and this Lexus-driving pair, aptly named the Dollars, are the adoptive parents of the 5 abused kids, ages 12-16.
Imagine that.
Foot In It – Again
Seems like the Bush Administration has some serious holes in its vetting process.
First, there were the embarassing revelations about Bernard Kerik.
Now, the President’s aides have egg on their faces once again in the person of Willie Dunn, former felon, who was honored at the State of the Union for his recent anti-gang work.

Snow, More Snow
The Boston area has broken records going back over 100 years for total snowfall in a single month.
We hear that somewhere in Eastern Massachusetts, people are frolicking under a sunny sky. But here in Mudville, or maybe it’s Siberia, it is STILL SNOWING, and there is no joy as a result.
American Dream?
Well, FINALLY, the rest of the world has caught on to something we’ve known for a long time: the American Dream is an illusion.
While half of the country – the “Red” half – still seems to be asleep, most of us have woken up a long time ago, around the time of the Reagan presidency in fact.
A thoughtful article from Newsweek does a very good job of describing the House of Cards that used to be the US.
