For dinner?

I mean, HURRAH!! What a gorgeous baby!!

Ten posts, people? I do a site visit way on the other end of Manhattan, get back to work, and it's just ten new posts? Do I have to carry ALL the weight around here?

Yay! Good news crosspost!

Just for Jesse: Why McCain Will Win

The polls are wrong this year, very wrong. I have been saying this for months, and I have backed up my claim with both statistical and anecdotal support. The claims I have made have inspired some, caused others to laugh in derision, and brought others to test their assumptions and revisit the hard data. Along the way, there have been a lot of questions about how and why the polls could be wrong. The most common complaint, is that for all of the polls to be wrong, there would need to be some sort of conspiracy, or else an incredibly stupid decision made across the board. Well, I am not a big believer in conspiracies, but I do think that the polling groups have fallen into a groupthink condition.

...

I wrote earlier about the fact that of the major polling groups handling national and state polls, all of them are based deep in pro-Liberal, anti-Conservative territories...

As I wrote then, it needs noting that all of the major polling organizations are based in locations where liberals are strongest and conservatives weakest, where 'democrat' and 'republican' take on meanings wildly different from the rest of the country. The people making the executive decisions at these polls, most likely including the wording and order of polling questions, whether to focus on urban or suburban areas, the weighting of political affiliation, and the definition of 'likely voter', are most likely in regular contact and association with the most liberal factions of politics. It does not mean that they have deliberately skewed their decisions to support Obama, but it is obvious that there is an apparent conflict of interest in their process modality.

I just got back from the doctor. I don't have strep throat, which is good. But I still feel icky, which is bad.

I'm cheered by the thought of a cute Hannigan-Denisof offspring.

I wish I know how three flies got into my house and also where the kids put my fly swatter.

Do I have to carry ALL the weight around here?

Yes. You can start by reminding me that trying to argue sense with the craxyheads that post to the online version of our local newspaper leads to head-to-desk-banging and the pulling of hair/gnashing of teeth. Go on - remind me, cause I can't seem to quit posting.

To quote Debetesse, as she once said, "But there are people who are wrong! In the backyard!"

I don't have strep throat, which is good.

Yay!

Do I have to carry ALL the weight around here?

Yes. Yes you do. If you post then I can be entertained and NOT work. Got it?

So get on the posting, lady!

In other news, Noah ate the hugest breakfast today (a packet of instant oatmeal, a cupcake sized souffle and a small bowl of roast chicken, some graham crackers) and he was STILL hungry. It's going to be a nightmare when he's a teen right?

Also, I roasted a butternut squash and some sweet potatoes. mmm... dinner!

Aims, back away from the small minds. Banging your lovely head or pulling your gorgeous hair is bad. The backyard craxies won't matter.

But they're WRONG LIKE WRONG THINGS!!!!

happy place, happy place, happy place....
