There's a lot in the news I could be writing about. I could write something at least semi-intelligent about Obama. I could write something snarky about how apparently no one involved in running a Middle Atlantic state can keep their pants on. I could write something bemused about how some billiard champ in England got caught blood doping (really?!)
But mostly all I want to say is that I take it back.
It's not spring. Not after I just got snowed and sleeted on this morning. [insert a bunch o' profanity here]

That's funny, cause walking to work this morning I was totally thinking of re-commenting to your spring! post on the sudden lack of same. :)
Besides the new governor of New York (who shows that men don't need "visual stimulation" to be horn dogs), and that bisexual-American (or would that be group-sexual) ex-governor of New Jersey (I really loved that one), are there more recent pants-less revelations I haven't yet been enlightened with?
And you've got to post a link on the blood doping billiards player... WTF?????
As for Obama--I haven't heard the whole speech, but the long excerpts I have heard... It seems to have been really, really good and way outside of the pre-defined identity politics/politics by excerpted soundbite box. Interpersonal realities, not media-defined surface purities.
Actually, I guess I misheard it on the TV... he was a German billiard player. :-)

And, it was just the two NY stories plus the NJ one that I was talking about. Absent late-breaking news from PA or DE, I guess I kinda unfairly slurred the *whole* of the Middle Atlantic!
Well, there was that Delaware former state prosecutor, Tom Capano, who offed his secret mistress Anne Marie Fahey--the appointments secretary to the Governor--and dumped her in the ocean.
So Delaware does have a juicy sex/murder scandal with a Governor's connection, but the Governor himself wasn't involved (so far as we know...). Though I still think that's really not as good as the Governor having bisexual threesomes in the Governor's mansion.
As for the billiard's player, what would a billiard's player possibly gain from additional oxygen capacity in his bloodstream? It's not like he's running the ball into the pocket.
Now if he was taking something to steady his hands and breathing (as I've heard that archers/shooters/biathletes sometimes do) that would make some sense.
You do have good lines on the news that really matters, though. ;)
I didn't think Delaware had a government: divided between corporations with postal boxes in a usury-allowed state and Perdue chickens, when last I looked.
Where I come from, this sort of snow was called "manure." That sort of fits, doesn't it?
And I thought Obama's speech was something on a level we don't get to hear more than once every 75 to 100 years.
