Oh what a beautiful fall week! Record highs,  beautiful sunshine.... but now we prepare for a drastic change in weather....

FRANKENSTORM.

Just in time for Halloween. It's exciting. Now instead of the endless election horse race stories, we get treated to something new.... endless storm track speculation and hype! Complete with colorful maps with loopy colors going all over it in a swatch of thousands of miles. Obligatory storm supply prep stories...(get your milk batteries generator canned goods water...CAT FOOD,)  This is GREAT. It gives the media's 24 hour news beast something  to feast on other than that chucklehead Donald Trump. Or it gives Fox News something to do besides endless Libya scandal mongering. (Colbert will explain it to you if you don't have a crazy uncle who watches Fox news all day who is drooling on himself over this.Just follow the link. It's funny. it is also a good primer on how to make your own scandal should you ever need to.)

Until the power goes out. Then...no internet....no FRIDGE.  Back to books and candlelight. Hmmm. And warm beer.

A shout out to Bruce Springsteen in Pittsburgh last night for an Obama rally. Screw the haters out there.  They can have that other chucklehead, Ted Nugent.
