It's raining, in a good way, here;

Faced with that bad news, the pollsters came up with several recommendations for Democratic candidates. When talking about Obamacare, Democrats should "keep claims small and credible." They should promise to "improve" the law. They should avoid talking about policy and stick to "personal stories" of people who will benefit from Obamacare.

U.S. Chamber of Commerce economist Martin Regalia on Monday said the tax increases advocated by President Obama would essentially kill any chance for an economic rebound.

“That’s what you’re suggesting, is a corporate bullet in the head,” Regalia said. “That is going to be a bullet in the head for an awful lot of people that are going to be laid off and an awful lot of people who are hoping to get their jobs back.”
But I'm sure Obama & Co. calling them 'tax breaks for the rich' over and over will take care of that, right?

Zoom in close enough, that's one colorful spider:


And on the critter front, when riding through the mountains you really need to watch out for large things in the road.


While various weenies are whining about the horrible Israelis, here's some more on that 'peaceful' blockade-running mission. And a list of some of the other 'help the hungry people' missions.


And now I'll leave you, to make one more try at locating those bleepin' keys.
