It is the second week of June, and the weather has been SNOWING since about 8:30 this morning! I was afraid the newly-leafed branches on the trees might break, it was so heavy at first, but it didn't stay that way for more than an hour -- I swear it was like slush from the skies.

Electoral Madness: Just before this snow knocked out our local transmitter, Barack Obama was on National Public Radio, contrasting his own direct observations of America's problems against John McCain's lobbyist-supplied talking-points. Sen. Obama fares better behind a lectern with a crafted speech, but he is still able to think on his feet, and I think he was sharpening his skills on news-oriented public radio instead of rushing to battle the cultural scavengers on info-tainment TV.
Even the pathetic US-backed puppet government in Iraq is condemning Bush/Cheney's latest proposal to establish 58 permanent US bases in their country. They are showing us those purple fingers again in a whole new way. First thing to do:
Support our troops -- bring them home.
