Yahoo … RPE is home!

Kudos to Obama on an excellent (and politically astute) choice.

I do not like Giant Forest Hogs (think Rush Limbaugh).
Nor do I like the Black Mamba Snake (think … hmmm … Mitt Romney?)
RPE will have to tell the tale(s).

I DO like Safari Lager … will have to see if HollyCornblog and CharlieHopbrew [...]

Good morning and happy Memorial Day 2009!
I got back from HollyCornblog and CharlieHopbrew’s house yesterday afternoon after a wonderful visit. We got the dock in up at the lake and even had time to catch a few rays on a lovely warm Saturday afternoon. I thought about going swimming — but then thought better of [...]

Yup, it’s Mother’s Day. Hope yours is a good one, whether you’re celebrating someone or being celebrated yourself. The universe has been kind enough to send sun, a steady breeze, and cooler temperatures — hopefully making relatively pain free outdoor work a possibility for the hordes of mothers in New Hampshire who will be out [...]

First off, our friend Alice (who suffers good-humoredly my unrelenting pressure to become a JordanCornblog contributor) is off to tour Florence today.  Happy travels, Alice!
Happily, she will not have to leave before the USWNT faces Iceland in their second game at the Algarve.  She (and the rest of us) will be able to follow it [...]

This morning it is NOT snowing – but there’s still plenty of digging out to do here in NH.  It’s nice, light, fluffy snow – the kind where the rewards of shoveling far outweigh the costs.  (Only challenge is finding some place to PUT the stuff – the mounds are so high.)
I find myself thinking [...]

Wow – it’s been a busy first part of the day, between working on the snow … and recovering from an afternoon/evening of beer-tasting, chiminea-watching, and hanging out.  Paula LR and HollyCornblog discussed the finer points of ffootball … and we marveled at the intricacies of the game.  We all reminisced about growing up years, [...]

So far, on the beer-tasting front HollyCornblog’s brews are standing up very, very well … especially her smoked porter and her “Lay-Off IPA” … a name that we think (unfortunately for many) may have some legs.  There was also unanimous agreement that McNeill’s Champ Ale was NOT to our liking.  “Barnyard” was a descriptor I [...]

Happy Saturday everyone! Looks like it’s going to be one beauty of a day. HollyCornblog and CharlieHopbrew should be on their way in another couple of hours and if I disappear for a while after they arrive, well, you’ll know what I’m up to!
Let’s see what’s happening in the world of soccer, first. I see [...]

Spoken like a true Phillies phan, I know. 
There’s lots of news this morning on the Boston Breakers front, starting with the fact that an agreement has been reached between the Boston Aztecs and the Boston Breakers. Under the agreement the Aztecs will become the reserve team of the Breakers. Seems like a positive [...]

Okay, checking out the scene here on a Thursday morning. I am (of course) in a hurry. So here are some quick updates:
HollyCornblog and CharlieHopbrew will be here this weekend! Hooray! Hopefully the snowstorm/rainstorm that appears to be brewing (get it?) won’t interfere.
The reviews of the new WPS uniforms have been decidedly mixed. Here are [...]

So here we are back at Tuesday again! I managed to get myself onto the treadmill this morning, and so am feeling quite cocky and proud of myself!
Let’s see what’s out there in the news this morning. We’ve got polls showing that the majority of Americans are supporting Obama’s decisions on the economy — and [...]

Saturday morning … and please remind me to not eat handfuls of chocolate-covered cherries while Watching Rachel Maddow … and before going to bed!  And I don’t mean the sweet syrupy kind – but nice tart ones – delicious, for sure – and probably marginally good for me (yes, I do believe I could make [...]

With Stevens now officially out (congratulations to Mark Begich), the chances of Sarah Palin continuing to grace the news pages as she had to this point are significantly diminished.  Buh bye, Sarah … it’s been real.
Lieberman has been forgiven … in a move that seems at once practical and deep … and that leaves me [...]

I got home yesterday afternoon (early) after a wonderful visit with HollyCornblog and CharlieHopbrew and am now watching the sun rise from my desk in Canterbury.  Catching up is the order of business for today … and I’ll be posting more about my visit as I savor it in the days ahead.  For now, as [...]

I’m hitting the road after a great visit to the lake and to HollyCornblog and CharlieHopbrew.  (Since this is being written by JordanCornbot, actual details about the visit are not available at this time … but should be forthcoming shortly – like in a day or so.) 
While I travel the back roads of [...]

It’s day two of what continues to feel like a new era.  Obama faces a plethora of daunting tasks, and we are on notice that for hope to burn bright, we need to roll up our sleeves and help.  That’s the difference.  Obama’s no white-haired GOP fake Father-Knows-Best, but a competent and inspiring leader who’s [...]

This video by the other Sarah is to die for!  (Jimmy Kimmel, what were you thinking????)

And here’s another offering (thanks for this, too, BJE), on the ultimate cruelty of the Palin pick.  It’s a good read — and the links are awesome.  But, my stirrings of sympathy for Palin are quickly quelled by remembering her [...]

I’m very excited to be heading over to HollyCornblog’s house today for a weekend visit. We’ll be doing some chores at the lake like bringing in the dock, bringing in HollyCornblog’s sailboat, etc.
I’ll also be inspecting the amazing and gargantuan work that she and CharlieHopbrew did on the new woodshed up there.
As you can see, [...]

Yes, it’s true.  Turdblossom (aka Karl Rove) has spoken out about the excesses of the McCain campaign ads.  To my mind the fact that he would do this publicly speaks, not to any new found sense of decorum or fair play in the doughy sleazeball, but to the fractiousness and internecine warfare within the Republican [...]

This morning’s post will likely be quick, as I’ve gotta make 2 dozen sandwiches for some soccer-game tailgating by 7:30 AM.  But enough about me!
On Truthdig I came upon this Palin Perspective from John Dean (yes, that John Dean).  Basically he argues, rather damningly, that were a sitting President in the position of having to [...]
