Cher, Cher, Cher, you would like this story.

Pepe was pestered to build a “manger” on our property because it’s so cold and we have so many deer, so he built a crude little manger out in the back 40, and put some straw down, and we checked it for several days. Nothing. Then, one morning, I crept out there and what did I find…?

A bunch of ravens! They had crawled into the manger and had all huddled together for the night to stay warm.

DADT formally repealed 65-31!

I hope everyone enjoys this in the proper spirit. No snark intended.

It looks like DADT is passing! 🙂

Morning Blog

I should warn you, it’s a children’s film, well, at least for older children, preteens. But, I still found it charming.

Well, heck, I’ll mail you a DVD!

Hi, Kalima, we got a DVD of Summer Wars and are showing it to a bunch of kids in the neighbourhood tonight. It’s such a charming depiction of Japanese family life. It makes me want to live in Japan.

We’ve had snow flurries all day here.

About 200 people showed up for the Japan Red Cross fundraiser last night and raised about $3,000.

I hope you are OK, Kalima.

We heard from people in Maui who are OK.

Shooting Democracy in the Head

Latest Limbaugh quote:

What Mr. Loughner knows is that he has the full support of a major political party in this country. He’s sitting there in jail. He knows what’s going on, he knows that…the Democrat party is attempting to find anybody but him to blame. He knows if he plays his cards right, he’s just a victim. He’s the latest in a never-ending parade of victims brought about by the unfairness of America…this guy clearly understands he’s getting all the attention and he understands he’s got a political party doing everything it can, plus a local sheriff doing everything that they can to make sure he’s not convicted of murder – but something lesser.

Why are the right-wingers being so defensive if they have nothing to feel guilty about?

He looks so macho there!

This was on MSNBC this morning:

Playing the victim card when you’re not really the victim: What was particular­ly striking to us is how activists, especially on the right, were playing the victim when there are so many actual victims — the deceased, the wounded, the grieving — in Arizona. And here’s our point from yesterday: Although it appears that Jared Lee Loughner had nothing to do with mainstream conservati­sm or liberalism­, can’t we all agree to condemn violent, de-humaniz­ing, or de-legitim­izing rhetoric — “2nd Amendment remedies,” “Don’t retreat, instead reload,” “Gather your armies” “facism/so­cialism,” etc. — aimed at our politician­s and government institutio­ns? In today’s political climate, as we pointed out, opponents just don’t disagree, they de-humaniz­e each other; they just don’t question those in power, they de-legitim­ize them; and we in the media just play along, giving attention to the extremes and the shiny metal objects. It’s time for all of us to act more responsibl­y.

Really good point! He never pointed a finger at any party.

I guess all the right-wingers are going nuts over the sheriff’s statement.

I didn’t see anywhere in his statement where he specifically blamed the right-wing for what happened. He blamed rhetoric in general. I suspect at this point he is working with more information than the general public has.

If you don’t like him, fine, give money to his opponent the next time he runs, or move to Tucson and vote against him. Otherwise, shut up and let the man do his job.

Apparently, lots of commenters on Beck’s and Fox’s news sites calling for this guy to resign, etc.

As can be expected, HP is on total lockdown on this story.

One small comfort I take — a very small but real comfort — is that there are places where we can vent our very strong feelings in real time. Thank you for that. I’ve been flitting between four web sites reading the outrage, and I’m seeing that it helps to get it out there.

When Sarah runs for president in 2012, she cannot be allowed to hide from that Sarahpac “target” ad. That’s the message we have to take from this, IMO. It needs to kept out there. People need to be reminded again and again. She is a hate-mongerer. When you use the imagery of a GUNSIGHT in your ad, there are people out there who will see it as more than just “imagery.” She has culpability for playing around with that stuff.

Don’t let people forget.

Happy New Year From PlanetPOV!

Do you have any drinks that will keep you warm?

I actually hope the Republicans hold all kinds of silly hearings (about Obama’s birth certificate, Muslims, etc.) in 2011 just so people are reminded how ridiculous they are.

I think people need to be reminded how insane they’ve become. Voters keep forgetting!

It is supposed to be -13 tonight. We’re going to an old grange hall down the road. It’s an old-fashioned country grange hall, and a lot of older people go there for New Year’s. I just hope it’s heated well! It’s an awfully old building. I promise I won’t be dressing slinky.

Then we are hosting a brunch tomorrow for the Winter Classic. A bunch of hockey parents coming over.

I live such a glamourous life!
