70% Chance of Wednesday

And look! The Weather Service was even nice enough to put "Wednesday" into the headline on their map. It's blog-ready!

---For the first time in over a year, they're shoveling something else these days in Washington, DC.

---Must have been a real bitch for the President over the weekend. Looking out the window and seeing all that white.

---Undoubtedly, it was no bargain for him being cooped up in the White House. The wife was home.

---Probably putting those two kids on the scales in her raging fight against American obesity.

---Here's my note to the First Lady: I'll put down the Hershey bar when you tell me how you keep your hair so straight.

---FLOTUS wants healthy snacks in school vending machines. Frankly, I can't see some kid scrounging around for two quarters so he can buy himself a carrot.

---New York is getting socked with the snow today and I don't miss those days.

---Here, in Los Angeles, we're getting mud. And the President actually may like that. Looking out the window and seeing all that brown.

---Yes, I am aware that it's Black History Month.

---Looks like the next politician to go down will be the optically challenged New York Governor Patterson. There are all sorts of rumors around.

---So far, they are nothing but blind items.

---No, it's not Blind Black History Month.

---I'm really not one to spread malicitious gossip.

---But...

---Allegedly, the good Governor was using state troopers to cover up some involvement with cocaine and prostitutes.

---But, I would never cast stones.

---Yeah, right.

---Meanwhile, Michael Jackson's doctor got arrested finally for unintentionally killing his client. The good news is that he's out on bail and you can still get an appointment.

---I am guessing the mornings are wide open.

---I am guessing the afternoons are wide open.

---Some day, you won't be able to say the same about his jail cell.

---No, it's not Horrible Black Doctor History Month.

---If you're willing to get a prescription from that guy, you might also be willing to renew your marriage vows with John Edwards.

---And that dirtbag will not be honored during White History Month.

---Oh, wait, there is no such thing.

---I was talking to a writer-friend over the weekend who has friends in the late night world. The word is that we should believe all the "nice guy" stuff printed about Conan O'Brien.

---The lovable redhead is apparently a creep to work for. Really mean to the staff.

---Also not due to be honored during White History Month.

---Oh, wait, there is no such thing.

---My streak is intact. Once again, I did not watch a single second of the Super Bowl.

---Which means I was totally perplexed by all the Sunday night Facebook entries. "Who dat?"

---I had no clue. I wondered "what dat?"

---Then, I realized it was all about some New Orleans slang and I got it. No English spoken there.

---"Where my FEMA?"

---"Where you at?"

---"When da hurricane?"

---And Michelle Obama is worried about candy machines?

---I have one last question for her.

---"Who do ya hair?"

Today would have been my mother's birthday. On second thought, it still is. :)

Dinner last night: Salami sandwich on bread made with sundried tomatoes and a side of onion soup.
