...and so ‘‘Happy’’ New Year

In which 2014 promises to be more ‘‘interesting’’ than 2013:

Welcome to Venezuela New York.  Let’s check em’ off:

promise ‘‘progressive’’ governing
‘‘graceless and smug’’ speeches
‘‘pointless and tacky haranguing”
‘‘utterly bogus claim(s)”
‘‘We won’t wait!”

Yep, so far, about as expected...

Build Up That Credibility, Gang!  There’s an Election a-Comin’!

Politico has a headline for the ages up right now: ‘‘Management Experts Knock Obama.”  Management ‘‘experts” are just noticing now, after five years, that Obama’s lack of experience is significant.  Maybe these ‘‘experts” aren’t so expert.

The Chinese icebreaker which helped transport passengers away from a stranded Antarctic ship has itself become stuck in ice

You can’t make this stuff up.

And why will Buffalo(!) be warmer than Indianapolis next week?

Merry New Year, all!
