Well, the temperature here jumped like it got a needle in the ass.

According to my car's thermometer, it hit 105 degrees at 2:45pm. That's a jump of about twenty degrees in about a day.

My Weather Channel Desktop thingie is also calling for some rain on Saturday.

Somebody tell Al Gore to quit messing with the planet's thermostat. It's called "Indian summer", and it happens every year.

Oh, and I got the empty wasp nest down safely. And the cats are back on the landing.

So THAT part is back to normal, anyway.

There's a book due out called "The Breakthrough: Politics and Race in the Age of Obama". The author is Gwen Ifill. The book is due out January 20, 2009 - the day the new president is to be inaugurated.

Big deal, right? Ah, but Gwen Ifill will be the moderator for the VP debate.

Now, why would they pick a moderator who will arguably gain financially if one candidate wins? Wouldn't that give her an incentive to make Sarah Palin look bad? After all, how many books will she sell if Barack Obama loses?

===

So this woman in Middletown, OH gets drunk. She starts chasing kids and pees on a neighbor's porch. When she's arrested, she tells the cop "fuck you" several times and, according to the report, will "raise hell at the jail when she gets there".

Why is this interesting? Check out the mug shot.

===

Time to get on with the day.

Be seeing you.

A nice theory about Gwen Ifill, except for the fact that her book was announced well before the Obama and McCain Campaigns sat down to arrange the debates. And, let's be honest - Sarah Palin doesn't need help to look bad. Her interviews with Katie Couric have been absolute disasters.

As for the lady who got arrested, I wonder if they read her her Mooranda Rights. Or if her story will change once she's before a judge and udder oath. Maybe it's not a cow suit at all, and just a jersey ...
