Something over 14" total snowfall here in Kearney. Espar shutoff at some point while I was sleeping ... it was 4 degrees outside when I got up and dang chilly in the van.

Still snowing (very lightly) in Kearney, MO ... probably have gotten a total of between 8" and 10" at this point.

Yup ... just another illustration of how someone else want to use the power of government to reduce other peoples freedom ... Left ... Right ... makes no difference ... it's a disease that is no respecter of political ideology.

Hunkered down in Kearney, MO ... looks like we've gotten about 6" so far ... and it's still coming down.

Looks like a possible FAIL for the anti-free speech thugs: Anti-boycott Israel bill halted in New York Assembly The hilarity of it all is that these putzes were decrying the inherent wrongness of boycotts ... and sought to deal with that horrible injustice by ... (wait for it) ... implementing...

Clearly, there is only one part of your anatomy which could be leaning towards Democratic thoughts ... Let us know if you require any assistance ... ;)

Bet they're hoping that ol' Pillow Lips and that Super Bowl ad will help - from Bloomberg: SodaStream Drops Amid Sanctions Over Jewish Settlements - Bloomberg

That largely goes without saying ...However, that really isn't the only question that deserves to asked and addressed ... another question is:Would they, or could they, be better off if they had the freedom to create their own SodaStream ?Is a man (or a people) better off with a decent paying...

Possibly ... but then it might also be that some believe (or would like to) that it is, when in fact it isn't ... ;)

Can't ever have too many dictionaries ... especially good ones ... ;)
