1) I was checking out the weather section of today's paper and I happened to come across the snowfall totals for the region. What I see leads me to believe that Lakes Erie and Ontario should be filled in. Of course seasonal wind direction plays a big part in this but these totals are interesting as of yesterday:
Buffalo - 29.9"
Rochester - 46.1"
Syracuse - 71.7"
Albany - 4.2"
Toronto - 3.8"
What stands out the most is Toronto's total of only 3.8 inches so far. With their location, even though they are right on the lake, they almost never get any lake effect snow. We would be right on par with Toronto if Lake Ontario was filled in.
2) Well we got our tax bill signed despite the best efforts of the GOP to keep this stalled until their millionaire and billionaire buddies got their cuts too. This bill also had relief for the unemployed as it extended their benefits but the GOP held out. Here is an 'interview' with Senator Mitch McConnell-R, Kentucky courtesy of the Moronica AP:
"Senator, why are you holding up the bill for tax relief from the poor and middle class and assistance for the unemployed?"
"We are not supporting this bill until they include tax relief for my millionaire and billionaire supporters. Those poor souls need it too."
"But Mr. McConnell, what about the poor and unemployed who really need this relief to survive?"
"Are there no prisons? Are the workhouses out of business?"
"Sir, the prisons are full of convicted criminals and all of the workhouses are now in India and China."
"Harrumph. This interview is over."
He then stormed away from our reporter. Senator Harry Reid was heard mumbling as he walked by: "At least we now know what GOP stands for: Greed Over the Poor." (Remember, my GOP friends, that this is just a blog of moronica)
3) It is now only a week before Christmas and, lo and behold, I have seen the first vestiges of Valentine's Day candy now making their appearance at the local Wegmans. It was just a small little display but c'mon, Valentine's day is in February. We still have two weeks of this miserable month to get through. Let us at least make it to the new year before we start seeing valentine candy. Jeez.
4) I do not know what is more moronic, T.O.'s mouth and TV show or Ryan "Grizzly Adams" Fitzpatrick's beard. We have come to expect anything from T.O. as his team stinks and he is not afraid to place the blame where it belongs. I will give T.O. a break on this for now but that beard of Ryan's has to go. My god, from what I have heard the beard even has a twitter account. If he lets it grow any longer he can dye it white, put on a red suit and be a department store Santa. It is beginning to get comical to watch his interviews from week to week just to check on the beard. He is supposed to shave it off at the end of the year but he may have to put that on hold as a pair of robins have built a nest in it.
Well it is almost time for my weekly torture of watching the Bills play and lose again at the last minute. This is your King wishing you a pleasant day.
