We had a second severe storm in 3 weeks here Wednesday night.Our power went out about 9:30PM and didn’t come back on until late last night.After my first real cup of coffee and a hot shower I jumped on to see what was going on. Ironically,the Rockford City Council had a meeting with ComEd people to ask why it took 3 days for some residents to get their power restored.
PS-ComEd raised their rates 30% 2 months ago to finance their new ‘smart grid.’They said it would save customers money in “the long run”.Trust us,heh heh.

HAS A MORE DISGUSTING WHORE EVER TAKEN UP OXYGEN?
HOYER ENDORSES 14TH AMENDMENT AS LAST-RESORT SOLUTION
Last resort my butt;his plan was to pull this if he didn’t get what he wanted all along.
Like Slick Willy said ‘let him do it and let the courts try to stop him.’
This would be an impeachable offense for any other president but him,and he knows it.

Scheiffer wrongly claims social security checks can’t go out without debt resolution.
I had a couple women in my van the other day who were terrified they wouldn’t get their checks.I pointed out August checks have already been cut and there’s nothing Obama can do to stop them.I went on to explain its just scare tactics,the oldest trick in the democrat playbook

Hey Pete,
It sounds like you may need to clear your internet cache and/or reboot (if you haven’t done it in a while). Usually, one of those two things (or both!) will work when everything starts going crazy like that. If you delete all your cookies and such, you’ll just have to go to http://wordpress.com to log in.
BTW…Did you see my comment the other day on the open thread about fixing your links? I think if you get your post editor into visual mode, your links will start working the way they used to. For more details, see my previous comments here… https://polination.wordpress.com/2011/07/25/the-monday-grudge-7/#comment-3616

Same here. Whenever that happens I clear the cache, restart, and then log in again. I followed Chrissy’s advice (I think it was Chrissy), and bookmarked the WordPress log-in page, then put the link on my toolbar right next to my blog links so I can get to WP quickly and easily whenever I need to.

PICK THE REASON…
by Joanne Emanuele Zabielski on Friday, July 29, 2011 at 4:13pm
WHY DID YOU VOTE DEMOCRATIC?
Top 12 A List That Explains Most Everything…
When your friends cannot explain why they voted for Democrats, give
them this list. They can then pick their reasons from this “TOP 12″…
1. I voted Democrat because I believe oil companies’ profits of 4% on
a gallon of gas are obscene, but the government taxing the same gallon
of gas at 15% isn’t.
2. I voted Democrat because I believe the government will do a better
job of spending the money I earn than I would.
3. I voted Democrat because Freedom of Speech is fine as long as
nobody is offended by it.
4. I voted Democrat because I’m way too irresponsible to own a gun,
and I know that my local police are all I need to protect me from
murderers and thieves.
5. I voted Democrat because I believe that people who can’t tell us if
it will rain on Friday can tell us that the polar ice caps will melt
away in ten years if I don’t start driving a Prius.
6. I voted Democrat because I’m not concerned about millions of babies
being aborted so long as we keep all death row inmates alive.
7. I voted Democrat because I think illegal aliens have a right to
free health care, education, and Social Security benefits.
8. I voted Democrat because I believe that business should not be
allowed to make profits for themselves. They need to break even and
give the rest away to the government for redistribution as the
Democrats see fit.
9. I voted Democrat because I believe liberal judges need to rewrite
the Constitution every few days to suit some fringe kooks who would
never get their agendas past the voters.
10. I voted Democrat because I think that it’s better to pay billions
to people who hate us for their oil, but not drill our own because it
might upset some endangered beetle or gopher.
11. I voted Democrat because while we live in the greatest, most
wonderful country in the world, I was promised “HOPE AND CHANGE”.
12. I voted Democrat because my head is so firmly planted up my ass
it’s unlikely that I’ll ever have anything but a “shitty” point of view.

Hoots been hanging around teens all day.

Not to mention homemade lasagna, with homemade noodles makes me happy! (And I did have coffee into the evening, too!)
