Yipee! It's another snow day!! The Krider girls piled almost every available flake in their front yard to build what Isabella commented on Facebook--A FREAKING HUGE SNOWMAN! (Photo by Kris online at www.DavidsonNews.net )Learned some new data, was entertained by and thoroughly enjoyed hearing/watching Eric Schlosser (Fast Food Nation) speak about his upcoming book on the prison system. Thanks to Carla for free tickets--and for a yummy broiled flounder dinner! Nothing like living down the street from a college like Davidson! And, despite their tough time adjusting from the sunshine of LA to this winter in NC, this morning Carla was waxing poetic about the magic of her late night after the lecture walk with Jim through the magic crunch of the inch or so of new snow.
The chill of this blustery winter has blown into to D.C. as CEO's are gonna have to cut back to $500,000 salaries? Cheers for the whistleblower in the Madoff case. I think HE should get a spectacular job ASAP. Markopolos, Harry Markopolos! Let his name become a household favorite!
How about Tom-who-didn't-pay-taxes going to have to work somewhere else? Probably we do need a smart, smart woman in that position anyway. Kathleen Sibelius from Kansas (and Cincinnati!) might be ok--or some super smart healthcare executive or a stellar human services professional who has a double degree in psychology and a Wharton MBA? Have you heard someone mention Dr. Howard Dean?
The worst worst chill of the day: listening to Dick Cheney's dark, dire, sinister, meanacing voice warning us --no, attempting to terrorize us--into believing that if we are attacked, it will be "all Obama's fault." He is evil incarnate. He speaks off camera--not in a face to face dialogue on subjects that reflect his total inability to recognize the horrors of the wars and destruction of human life, quality of life, and economic wreckage that are a result of the previous administration's arrogance, greed and absue of power. Cheney lies.
