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 [...]

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 [...]

Before I head out to the lake this morning, a fond review of some favorite spots to visit … just to see what’s up one more time.  (You’d think I was going off for a month, wouldn’t ya?  The way I go on and on and on …)
Oh, and before I forget, we watched a [...]

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 clip of Charlie Gibson’s interview with Sarah Palin pretty much says it all.  McCain may be channeling Bush, but Sarah is pretty much the real thing … never EVER letting her ignorance stand in the way of her swagger and bellicosity.

Here’s a bit more from the interview …

Pressed about what insights into recent Russian [...]

Other than football, what’s up today?
Well — here’s an excellent site that a friend sent me last night .. and I’m adding it to my blogroll.  It’s Worse Than Bush — and it’ll help help keep you motivated!  First off, from the site, this video …

There’s plenty more where THAT came from!
On the wardrobe front, [...]

This post is mainly a test of an edit I made to the post template — so that the author’s name is included (now that we have more than one).  Others?  Alice?  CB?  Chris?
From the Washington Post, more detail about Troopergate.  This sounds very messy.  Stay tuned.
And here’s a bit more about baby Trig’s birth [...]

This is a photo of a recent sunset at the lake, sent my way by HollyCornblog (who is also the provider of some of the juicier Sarah Palin news and punditry).
On the Palin front, the plot, as they say, thickens.  If you’ve read Stephen’s comments, he’s onto the whole Troopergate thing like a good sweeper [...]

To my mind, this was one of the finest moments in quite a collection of ‘em over the past couple of days.  Bill came through last night, too.
The historic milestone that Obama’s nomination represents is both cause for celebration and cause for sadness … because in 2008 we should be well beyond celebrating this as [...]

Still away … and here’s where I am …

The general plan is to read, swim, kayak, walk, eat, sleep.  The simple life.  We’ll also be sampling some single-hopped brews that HollyCornblog and CharlieHopbrew have been concocting.

Yup, that’s six in a row – and 8 out of their last 10. They lost to the Athletics last night 5-2. Anyone who grew up in Philly – or has spent any amount of time there – probably knows the feelings of panic and depression that are beginning to rear their ugly heads right [...]

Unfortunately, USSF is not exactly being forthcoming on news of the USWNT vs. Brazil game. What I’ve been able to cobble together is that the USWNT won 1-0. The goal was scored by A-Rod. Abby played an awesome game … as did Boxx (based on some of the comments I read on BigSoccer). It sounds [...]

I’m doing some catching up here this morning, so bear with me.
Barack Obama gave a great Father’s Day speech … and here’s Naomi Klein with an important piece questioning where he’s headed with his economic policies.
The USWNT came away from their first match of the Peace Queen Cup with a 2-1 win over Australia on [...]

According to this brief piece on the Peace Queen Cup site, Pia and the USWNT have arrived in Korea. Tournament play starts on the 14th, and the USWNT has its first match on the 15th. (Note how the flowers kinda match her eyes!)
And just so HollyCornblog doesn’t get jealous at the attention being paid to [...]

First the Phils, who’ve scored 35 runs in their last TWO GAMES and yesterday routed the Rockies 20-5. It’s early in the season – but great to see them scoring so many runs (and with Howard still not up to speed).
On the McCain front, here’s a good piece from Ariana Huffington about his abysmal and [...]

I woke up this morning to the sound of Willie retching and then puking.  Ah well – must’ve been the grass he was eating yesterday down at Myosotis.  The next thing I became aware of was the wind and the rain in the dark.  An indoor day. 

 I love that I can sit here at [...]
