liberal media

On Meet the Press, Bob Novac whines about the liberal media making “the conservatives” uphappy with George W’s unconservativity.

getting ready

Porter prowling with puppy dog eyes,
Bill preparing for an evening out.

torture the neighbor cats,
trot the stairs,
gaze out the windows,
like I can when you’re here.” He says.

With his puppy dog eyes.

Up may be down, but the world is still spinning.

The combination of high humidities… light winds… and wet ground conditions will lead to dense fog development tonight. Visibilities have already lowered to around 1/4 mile along the Upper Texas coast and Galveston Bay. Fog is expected to become widespread across southeast Texas tonight. Visibilities will drop to below 1/4 mile at times creating hazardous travel conditions.

Motorists are urged to drive with extreme caution. Use low beam headlights and leave plenty of room between you and the vehicle in front. Give yourself plenty of time to reach your destination.

Stay tuned to NOAA Weather Radio or other weather news sources for further updates.
