Snow job in DC

Excuse me for laughing my head off, but weather predictions indicate 20" to 30" of snow for the Washington, DC - Baltimore area, with blizzard conditions. That is, winds up to 50 mph, causing white-out at ground level and making travel impossible. Thousands of flights in and out of area airports have been canceled. So not only is DC getting dumped on, but the congresscritters and White House staffers have nothing else to do but watch. As LBJ once said, "Like a jackass in a hail storm. All you can do is sit there and take it."

Think God is trying to tell Washington something about climate change? After all, this is the second bad winter storm DC has seen this year -- and typically they never have to suffer through stuff like this. So how does it feel to be on the other end of a massive snow job?

Cloudy in Chicago, a little windy. No snow.... Matter of fact, I can see actual pavement over the entire area of my driveway.  That hardly ever happens in February.

In other news.... Greece is apparently tottering on the brink of financial collapse. Overleveraged. That is, they borrowed w-a-a-a-a-y too much money and probably can't pay it back. On top of that, they can't just print more money to cover the debt because Greece's currency is the European union's euro. So now the rest of Europe will have to bail out Greece or all suffer the consequences.

Socialism doesn't work. All you need is one screw-up to ruin it for everyone. And socialism promotes those kinds of screw-ups by relieving individuals and individual nations of the burden of accountability and responsibility.

That's all for now.
