Oh, God. Oh, God. My hair. My hair! The government gave me bad hair!

Well, it's all relative. I mean, if it's 5 times as much snow as they've seen in almost two decades, it's going to be a big deal no matter what the actual amount.
DC, OTOH, gets at least one big snowstorm EVERY FREAKING YEAR, and has no excuse whatsoever.

The NEW MUSEUM is searching for women between the ages of 18 and 40 to take part in an installation by contemporary artist CHU YUN (b.1977, Jiangxi, China)
During the exhibition the museum will present Chu Yun’s artwork This is XX (2006), consisting of a female participant sleeping in a bed installed in the museum.
Women aged between 18 and 40 who are willing to come and sleep at the Museum during its opening hours to the public. Volunteers who can make a long-term commitment and who have current valid health insurance will be given priority.
The New Museum will cover the cost of a visit to each participant’s regular doctor as well as a prescription for a sleeping aid. Participants will have to come to the museum by 11:45 am, consume a sleeping aid, get into a bed installed in the exhibition space, and sleep as many consecutive hours as possible.
Ideally, we expect each participant to sleep for 6 hours.

Art Crawl!!!
I know! I thought it was Snowcapalypse: London - but really - not so much.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Best job posting ever!
Oh my. Paid to sleep! Plus free drugs!

Yeah. I was hoping to find lots of pictures of huge snow drifts and whatnot, so I was rather disappointed.

If anything, I am OVERqualified for this position.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Do I have to take the sleeping aid? I bet I could sleep there without it. Will they wake me up if I oversleep?

My BiL took some pictures of the Londond Snowpocalypse. It looks pretty snowy, but nothing a few snowplows and a truckload of salt couldn't fix:

Poll: Republicans Want Party To Be Like Palin
Huh.
A new Rasmussen poll further demonstrates that the GOP could be in for a long stretch in the wilderness: A majority of GOP voters now say that the party should be more like Sarah Palin.
The numbers: 55% of Republicans say the party should be like Palin, compared to 24% who say they should be like John McCain.
As I've previously noted, poll data like this could indicate that the Republican Party is getting ready to relive the classic cycle of ruling parties who get turned out of power in a landslide: With the party base itself shrunk down, the people who are still around are the most hard-line members, and are really the least fit people to fix the situation.
