Nightly Ramble: Got a Second?; Another Surge?; Oil Down Again; More

  • A second place at the OTB Sheep Off caption contest.
  • So, the Democrats are almost to a man, includng Obama, claiming that the Surge didn’t work. So why, then, is Obama proposing another surge, this time in Afghanistan?

  • Oil is down again today [1]. As this is written, about 2pm Eastern, oil is at $121.45/bbl and still falling.Remember, dear reader you heard it here first… last January.

  • Former Ref Tim Donaghy  caught 15 months in prison [2], three years supervised probation. He says there’s more than just him involved. He’s likely telling the truth here, but don’t expect the NBA to follow up with an investigation or anything.

  • You know, I can recall when listening to radio stations from around the country was a hobby that reqired some fairly interesting equipment.  Now, all you need is an internet connection [3].

  • If you’re a fan of the Bennigan’s resturant chain, or “Steak and Ale”, find a new place. They all went bankrupt this morning [4], except the independant sites. We have one here in town. It’s not bad, but I don’t know as I’d go out of my way for it.

  • AlGore’s about done, along with the carbon craziness…. so suggests Simon at Classical Values. [5]I hope he’s right of course, but remember, this is a resurection of the nonsense in the 70’s. It’s come back to life once before.

  • Still working on converting some of the vid files from the weekend. Perhaps I’ll get one up tonight.

  • Presidential polling [6] is back and forth and very close thoughout.  I have to tell you, anyone who tells you this is going to be a Democrat cakewalk is whistling past the grave yard.
