What is Justice Sandra Day O’Conner doing in this picture?

Is she…

A. Scolding her husband John Jay O’Connor III for wearing blue socks with his black tux?

B. Throwing a hex in the general direction of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg?

C. Cussin out George W. Bush for even THINKING about nominating Harriet Miers?

D. Doing her best ‘Grinch Who Stole Christmas’ impression?

Answer: ?

You Know…

If you look at this picture long enough, it will start to look like two people wearing Condi and Bobby masks. I mean really, their heads look huge.

Scary.

And while we’re on the subject of scary

And The Winners Are…

John Hawkins’ 4th Annual Warblogger Awards for 2005, the oldest and most prestigious awards for right-of-center bloggers, have been announced. With more that 225 bloggers invited to vote, only 50 responded. With that small a sample, the winners are easily predictable. Hail, hail, the gang’s all here – Reynolds, Malkin, Drum, Kos, Sullivan, Morrissey, Huffington, Hewitt, et al. 

Blanco Releases Documents

But if you want to view the contents of the government paperwork, you need to send a records request on your news organization’s letterhead along with all your vital statistics to the Governor’s Press Office. Oh, and you can’t just send the request, you have to GO DELIVER IT IN PERSON! After the letter is authenticated, then you’ll be sent an email giving you instructions on the next step necessary…whatever that might be, and you’ll get a personal pin number, which somehow provides clearance, to something, or somewhere.

If you ask me, Kathleen Blanco has something to hide…FROM BLOGGERS!

Don Singleton is on the story, with even more here.

Snow (Or Lack Thereof)

While the East Coast awaits a snow storm (the real kind), the Pacific Northwest is dealing with something we call snow.

If you look close enough, you can just make out the flakes of white. Under these conditions, conscientious drivers keep their speed down, ever fearful of that killer patch of ice. By now though, most folks have figured out that you can just drive around the single patch and everyone comes out A-OK! Took a few days to figure that out though, and wow, talk about some close calls!

Oh, and our county will actually delay the opening of schools an hour or so after encountering blizzard conditions like those represented above. Can’t be too careful you know!

All kidding aside, being close to the Canadian border, we can get some serious snow storms combined with a wind-chill that rivals our friends out East. The “season” only lasts a couple of days though, then the rain comes back and our tulips start to poke.

Washington State – we rock.
