The clouds are circling and what is left of Fay is going to drop some needed rain here on Shopping Mall USA. Accordingly, the S.O. finally found that she could no longer stop me from going to the NASA museum here-so off we go there today. We both were slow

What we have here,
Is an interesting way to thumb your nose at people overseas. H/T to Japundit who found this picture of a snazzy van in Australia: Can’t read Katakana? It says “Riku mai kannto”. When you sound it out in Japanese it sounds just like “Lick my C-Word.”

Personally I kind of like Biden’s candor and the fact that he talks long is not such a bad thing. But in an election like this one, where the electorate is stupid challenged to understand the issues-it does not buy Obama a thing. In fact it undercuts the whole change
