[PassedOut]

Reminds me of something that happened during my college days. A winter storm prevented me from flying to see my girl friend of the time, so I decided to have flowers delivered and to send her a Valentine's day telegram.

Two very nice ladies at Western Union offered me a little book of sample telegrams for the occasion--all of them sappy little romatic poems that I wouldn't be caught dead sending. So I composed my own prose message, thanked the ladies for their help, and paid.

The next weekend I got there and my girl friend was all smiles about the flowers and telegram. "I didn't know you were so poetic," she said, handing me the telegram she had gotten. My message was on top, but the nice ladies had appended one of the poems free of charge. They definitely knew something I didn't.

When I was 18 or so I explained to my girlfriend why Valentine's Day was a really stupid idea. She continued to go out with me. It was the beginning of my understanding that women often just let guys talk and don't really hold them all that responsible for what they say.

The smart ones (like my sweetie) don't listen. Ever see the cartoon, "What he said" vs. "What she heard?" which is blah, blah, blah.......

My wife is out of town for 4 days. I'll put some bacon on the front porch and see what happens.

"What makes everything better?" was not asked on this episode of Jeopardy.

I have some space in my freezer if you catch more than you can handle.

There were no posts in the water cooler for the entire day of January 22, 2011. What does this mean?

This just happens another time. Did the entire WC get to a Black Hole? Am I in now too? Is there anybody out there???

Nope.

So. I assume they all are busy with making cheese cakes with cherries, or are there other possible activities in winter time?

Looks like a tea party rally, but with different signs.

[PassedOut]

Or maybe not.

Inside Capitol, Wisconsin protesters create a city

Quote

A sign declares on the second floor of the Capitol, where protesters have asked the protesters to sleep, declares: "Our principles: 1. The Capitol is our house! Treat it as such and clean up! 2. Non-violence: stay away from debates! Don't hurt others! 3. No drugs or alcohol. 4. Keep noise down past 1 am. 5. Have fun."

Hundreds of police officers from all over the state have been deployed as a precaution and dozens stay with the protesters each night.

But the protesters have shown remarkable restraint and respect, not only to the armed police that surround them but to the 100-year-old granite building itself. Reports that they were defacing the capitol with graffiti and engaging in other forms of vandalism have been flatly denied by the authorities.

There's a help yourself commissary of sorts in a hallway near the office of Terese Berceau, a Democratic representative from Madison, with bottled water, bags of sandwich bread and bagels, jars of peanut butter and all kinds of other non-perishables donated by businesses in Madison.

It is impossible to walk around without bumping into someone handing out bottled water or pizza -- all donated.

There are places to recycle trash, a lost and found where protesters can retrieve items they have misplaced, a medic station for protesters who feel unwell and a charging station for the cell phones and laptops that many are using to keep the wider world up-to-date on the protests through social media.

The perfidy of the democrats knows no bounds. One of those villains phoned Wisconsin Governor Walker impersonating billionaire oilman David Koch, and then released the content of that call knowing full well that the governor meant the discussion to be private and confidential: Call fallout stokes Wisconsin union fight

Quote

Walker said he would tell the wayward Democrats, whose absence denied the Senate a quorum needed for a vote on his proposal, that he was "willing to sit down and talk" with them but "only ... if they came back to the Capitol with all 14 of them."

Walker said on the call that his legal advisers believed the presence of the 14 in the Capitol building alone, but not the Senate chamber, would allow the Republicans to declare a quorum in the chamber and pass the measure.

"If you heard I was going to talk to them that's the only reason why," Walker said, according to a transcript of the telephone call posted on website Wispolitics.

Okay, time for Plan B.
