Unfortunate metaphor

Okay, so (paraphrased), our new Fearless Leader-Elect says, "It will take us a long time to dig ourselves out of this hole..."

One of the basic rules of life, taught to me by Dad many years ago, was, "You find yourself in a deep hole, son, the first thing you do is STOP DIGGING!"

Drizzle

Part of the continuing "November in Maine" theme.

At least it is (relatively) warm, 50 F right now.  As I have been known to opine before, "A degree-day saved is a degree-day earned."

The difference between Republicans and Democrats . . .

. . . lies mainly in which rights they think we can get along just fine without. 

The other side of the coin, counterpoint to all the unconstitutional excesses of the Bush Debacle:  Gun shops experiencing an uptick in sales, in the face of a bad economy.
