Good Lowrd

Below, in its entirety, is an email message I just received from My Senator, Patty (D-Taliban-Daycare) Murray.

Dear Ms. Chase:

I hope all is well in Snohomish.

What a scintillating intellect. Summon the meteors!

I served in the 2% battalion, myself

You may have heard that we in the soggy corner of the map are having a spot of bother with snow and ice this week.  It's all very well for you folks used to that kind of weather to point and laugh--we aren't used to it, and more to the point the five union snowplow drivers aren't either.  The concept of "plowing a road so people can drive on it" was apparently introduced in an upper-level course they got a waiver for.

But have no fear!  Govenor Christine Gregoire (D-Voter Fraud) issued a Declaration of a State of Emergency, calling out the National Guard, even!

To help deliver milk.

I understand milk can spoil.  Those of us with room temperature and higher IQs recall that milk kept in a refrigerator spoils much less rapidly, and, oh yes, it was BELOW FREEZING all week.  Freezing milk might be a problem, but spoiling not so much.  Oh, they also mention the economic impact of losing all those milk deliveries.  What, pray tell, is the economic impact of hundreds of thousands of people unable to drive to the stores to pick up milk (which, unbought, will...spoil)?  What about the economic impact on people unable to drive to work and also unable to work from home?  They will now have less money with which to buy milk, whenever the roads clear up.  Probably in April.

I don't get it.  If a Governer were to, say, make sure the roads were driveable for everyone, the milk truckers would *also* be able to drive on them.  Strange, no?  Why all this concern just for milk deliveries?

I speculate the Dairy Farmer's Association of Washington State has some pretty compromising photos of a certain Governor ...

Hmm, I wonder what those black helicopters are doing ...

...over my house.

If I disappear, start a bail fund.  I checked my Sitemeter stats for fun today.  Guess who came to visit yesterday?  Someone from the originating site of senate.gov, that's who.  And not just any schlub, either.  According to the IP address, it was the US Senate Sergeant at Arms.  And what, pray tell, was the good Sergeant interested in?  Why, this post.  Now, some nit-picky people might allege that our Congressional Betters are a bit slow on the uptake.  First, the title of the post, "A Day in the Life of an Evil Conservative" is what's known as sarcasm.  Look it up, Congresscritters, and be informed.  Secondly, if you are going to hyperventilate about some of the words I chose to use that made you feel frightened, try and pick up on the alleged threat closer to the point of the post going up.  It hasn't been February 2008 for a long time now.

Since the Sergeant at Arms only looked at the page for a grand total of 3 seconds, (or his webcrawler did), maybe he figured it out.  And is now trying to explain to some dimwit in the Senate that yes, I AM allowed to do that.  For now, anyway...

Snark Dim Sum

Dim Sum, I have been informed, translates as "little treasures" or some such.  I have a valid Literary License, so don't judge me!

-Signs of Real Hope: At a bookstore, prominently displayed for sale, a "NoBama" 2012 calendar.  In SEATTLE!  I swearz! If it can happen here...

-Signs of Continuing Idiocy: The initiative to assimilate my neighborhood into the Greater Co-Prosperity Sphere of the nearby town was defeated.  However, some dim bulbs think they want to try again THIS year, because obviously we didn't understand the issues.  (The only issue I need to understand is the neighboring town wants my money.)  I think it is time for some pitchforks to come out for cleaning.

-Signs of Spring: I have a primrose blooming in my yard.  Actually blooming, in January.  If I can get home during the 3 hours of daylight, I will photograph it as proof.  If this be Global Warming, bring me more!

-Signs of Apathy: Why are all the top Republican candidates various shades of vanilla-flavored styrofoam?  (I don't count RonPaul, only humans are eligible to be President).  I want more shin-kicking and less bloviating.  That applies to you too, Speaker Boehner.
