Wait, they could try to what?

-8.3°C last night at Murkworks North (about 17°F), making it the lowest low for the winter so far. It hasn't gotten above freezing for over three days at Murkworks North. And oh look it's a special weather statement! Yay.

In other news, the chief executive, Mr. Bush, is now ranting like a second-rate Bond villain:

"I fully understand they could try to stop me," Bush said of the Democrat-run Congress. "But I've made my decision, and we're going forward."

"They could try to stop me?!" Where's the Muah-ha-ha!!!? Isn't it obligatory after a line like that? Shouldn't it read something more like, "I fully understand they could try to stop me, Mr. Bond. But I've made my decision, and we're going forward. Nothing can stop me! Muah-ha-ha!!!"

This is actually kinda creeping me out here.

I had a thing for next about fucked up television commercials (a woman giving a burrito a porno-movie blow job, a short video essay about how using cash instead of a charge card to buy fast food destroys the world and makes everyone hate you) but I just can't seem to make it fit with the rest of this. "They could try to stop me..." Hopping christ on a pogo stick, how did we get here?

Brrr! Cold! I don't think we've had a single day (or night) that cold this year. Seattle is supposed to be warmer than here, surely...

Great. Norwegians are telling us it's too fucking cold where we are. We're all gonna die now. Or something.

It was a little warmer low last night. -7.6°C. YAY We're supposed to get above freezing today. I wonder whether we will?
