Well, firstoff, this usually happens once in February/March, once in March/April, and once in October/November, and that is that I get sick as a dog. I’ve been fortunate this year to have missed out upon the latter two last time around, but I knew I was in trouble the moment I woke up yesterday.

Some of you may be aware of the current Detroit debacle. The city’s foundering financially, literally on the brink of bankruptsy in a way that looks bad even from Flint, and in the midst of this, Mayor Kwayme Kilpatric is taking a lot of (well-deserved) flak for covering up a loadedluxurysuv the city bought for his wife.

This is the second time I’ve posted this comment, which irritates me, because it was a long comment. Grrrr.

Anyway, Punxsatawney Phil saw his shadow today, which of course means we should expect another six weeks of winter.

The New York Times, however, had the audacity to posit a conflicting view vis a vis Staten Island Chuck.

Two links I’ve been remiss in adding:

Word Gets Around at http://www.wordgetsaround.blogspot.com/ is blogged from the UK by Esmeralda who, in addition to having one of my favorite names, has put together a real “PageDowner.” The blog is more personal than political, but when she does bring her opinion to bear on a situation, the moment is spontaneous and fresh and crystal clear.
