Yessah! (4.00 / 3)

Couldna said it better myself. Just come in from the first round of snowblowin'. Right back out in a minute for an hour or so of roof rakin', just having a hot cuppa coffee.

That Frost fella just about nails it every time, if you ask me. Most of us natives think he's pretty good, especially for someone from away.

The Math (4.00 / 2)

I don't think I'm the first person to assume that the five states in which Democrats have the best chance of a Senate pickup in 2008 are New Hampshire, Ohio, Missouri, Florida, and North Carolina. All have a Republican Senator, 4/5 are retiring. The other Senator in all five is a Democrat, and 4/5 of those took a Republican seat in either '06 or '08. All five voted for Bush in 2000 (except Florida, kind of), and 4/5 voted for Obama in 2008.

Of these five Senators--Gregg (R-NH), Voinovich (R-Ohio), Bond (R-MO), Burr (R-NC), LeMieux (R-FL)--guess which was the only one to vote against the jobs bill.

Because he' no longer not from the Granite State, (4.00 / 2)

and resting in peace here was his final fate.

Everybody Tells Me Everything

I find it very difficult to enthuse
Over the current news.
Just when you think that at least the outlook is so black that it can grow no blacker, it worsens,
And that is why I do not like the news, because there has never been an era when so many things were going so right for so many of the wrong persons.

Mr. Nash also followed up (4.00 / 2)

an observation about "recipe" and receipt" with a confession that he liked Lake Osseipt.

A one-l lama is a priest
A two-l llama is a beast
But I will bet my silk pyjama
There's no such thing as a three-l lllama.

Nash footnoted this with a correction. A reader had written to say that her husband was a fireman and had been to a three-l-lllama just the previous week.
