Thoughts on the Day

• I'm glad to see that Qaddafi has been rousted from his compound in Tripoli.  Hopefully the shooting part of the kinetic action ends soon.  I look forward to the victory parade for President Obama in the press over the next couple of weeks.  But someone needs to tell the guys looting in Tripoli that what comes up must come down, and friendly fire isn't.  Also, someone needs to make sure that President Obama isn't handed an AK near anyone with a camera for the next few days, or he might just crank off a few rounds at the sky in celebration.
• I'm glad that everyone on the East Coast came through the trembler today with no casualties.  No word from President Obama as to how many billions of federal dollars will be spent on shovel ready projects in response to the earthquake.  
• The Atlantic coast from Washington DC to Key West is bracing for a hurricane.  I suggest that in addition to the canned food, plywood, bottled water, and batteries that are being bought in prep for the storm, that the hardy souls who are going to sit out the storm add a bottle of good bourbon.  Do it for the children.
• Coming home in a filthy mood is not good for domestic tranquility.  That's all I've got to say about that.
• There is no such thing as a BooBoo proof gate latch.  Luckily he only went as far as the neighbor's pear tree before we noticed he was gone.
