Brrrrrrrrrrr...
I remember my fair share of blizzards through the years. Once in a great while we'd get one or two (usually in February and March). But the really big storms weren't that often.
Anyway... global warming my a**.

SnowJobbed (aka, "Why I no longer live in Philly")...
My old home town region got slammed with 24 inches of the white stuff the week before Christmas (very unusual to get that amount of snow for that time of year). This past weekend, they got dumped on with yet another 24 inches of fluffy wooder (that's "water" to all you non-Philly types). And another storm is about to hit later this week. Possibly another 12+ inches.

Post #800... What Might Happen on Feb 11, 2010?
My 800th post on this fledgling blog. And the "I-uh-told-ya-so" of Iran has this to say regarding this coming Thursday:
Iran's Supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said on Monday that Iran is set to deliver a "punch" that will stun world powers during this week's 31st anniversary of the Islamic revolution, AFP reported.
"The Iranian nation, with its unity and God's grace, will punch the arrogance (Western powers) on the 22nd of Bahman, February 11, in a way that will leave them stunned," Khamenei, who is also Iran's commander-in-chief, told a gathering of air force personnel according to AFP.
The country's top cleric was marking the occasion when Iran's air force gave its support to revolutionary leader Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, a key event which led to the toppling of the U.S.-backed shah on February 11, 1979.
Meanwhile, the "Teleprompter-in-Chief" has this going for him.
God help us if Thursday turns out to be something big and ugly.

Mahony Balony to Change Soon, Too???
From EWTN:
Pope Benedict XVI will soon appoint a coadjutor archbishop of Los Angeles, according to an American Catholic blogger. Writing on the Catholic Vote Action blog, and citing “reliable authority,” Thomas Peters says that Cardinal Roger Mahony has approved the coadjutor, and an announcement is imminent. The coadjutor would succeed Cardinal Mahony when he retires.
Cardinal Mahony has enjoyed a remarkably long tenure as Archbishop of Los Angeles, having taken that post in 1985. However he is still well short of the normative retirement age-- he will not turn 75 until February 2011—and although bishops are obliged to submit their resignations at that age, the Pope frequently delays the appointment of a successor.
However, Cardinal Mahony, who has faced controversy frequently in the nation’s most populous archdiocese—particularly over his handling of sex-abuse complaints—has indicated that he neither expects nor wants to extend his tenure.
May we get Archbishop Bruskewitz from Lincoln, NE???
Let us pray!

Buyer's Remorse Redux... I told you so 14 months ago
On Nov 11, 2008, I wrote this:
I placed a comment on a RWN post asking when people will start realizing they might have made a mistake in electing The Obamessiah:Buyers Remorse will begin to kick in after about 6 months, with it hitting full effect one year into his administration. Just like the Clintons, he's going to try to ram a bunch of socialist policies down our throats early, and people will balk (just like they did in 1994).
Yesterday, we have this headline... from Frank Luntz, no less:
A Case of Buyer's Remorse

HOPE AND CHANGE!!!
When one of the most liberal of states in the country... with a 9-1 ratio of Ds to Rs in federal and state elective offices... loses the most liberal and political-family/dynasty-entrenched U.S. Senate seat... to a Conservative... by 5 points... because they already went down the very similar road of so-called "health care reform" at the state level and realized what an utter disaster it has been (financial-wise and care-wise)... and are also sick and tired of massive government taxing, spending, waste, regulations, and corruption... THAT gives me real hope for real change.
It almost happened in NY-23 last November. It just happened last night in Massachusetts.
Hopefully, more of the same will occur in November of 2010.
Makes me smile. :-)
