i'm just about done with this, so i'll actually be deleting that flood of posts in the next couple of days.

but, did we get a winter?

we didn't get a snow cover. at all. temperatures...

cold snap 3:
jan 16: +3.3/-1.2
jan 17: -1.2/-11.9
jan 18: -8.3/-12.3
jan 19: -5.5/-12.5
jan 20: -7.0/-10.4
jan 21: -3.6/-12.6
jan 22: -2.7/-6.0
jan 23: -0.9/-7.2
jan 24: +1/-8

it looks like we're above zero for the next ten days.

there's no snow. and nothing below -13. but, that's five straight nights of lows below -10 and seven days in a row of subzero temperatures - even if it's only really three days of winter.

so, i must concede that we've had a "technical winter".

but, listen: claiming we might avoid winter in canada, even here in windsor, is pretty outrageous. you might want to take note that i'm conceding on a technicality, here. there has not been anything substantively approaching "winter" in windsor-detroit this year.

but, i'm an honest person and i'll concede, nonetheless.

[i know it's pravda. but it's at least as entertaining as colbert. and, it's actually a pretty good reminder of why hillary clinton is unelectable.

she's a war criminal.
she should be in jail.

what does it mean to "talk like a black person"?

or, even more fundamental: what are your views on intellectual property rights?

those are just a few of the obvious questions that jump when listening to this track. another is:

do you really believe that equality means equality of opportunity?

this just all seems so very right-wing to me. sorry.

the basic concept seems to be separate but equal.
