Thawing Out | The Big 2009 Freeze

It's been horrific weatherwise here for almost a week. About an inch of freezing rain coating EVERYTHING outside. And then about 3-4 inches of wet snow on top of that. Here at the Dean house we been extremely lucky. I thought at any time we'de lose power, cable and everything. Thousands of people still without power all over.
Here's a few pics of the deep freeze.

I'll call this one "evening sun, Ice storm"

Out our back patio door Wednesday

We're having a thaw today. It's supposed to get about 50deg. The middle of the week they're saying we're going back down to the mid teens and below for lows.

Bushco | Evil Is As Evil Does

These are seriously evil people.

As Atrios says:
It's like they saw everything that was decent and decided to take a leak on it.

The U.S. government has injected hundreds of foreigners it has deported with dangerous psychotropic drugs against their will to keep them sedated during the trip back to their home country, according to medical records, internal documents and interviews with people who have been drugged.

It's like the Keystone Cops trying to run a dictatorship.

Related dubya news: I saw a small blurb on the Internets yesterday that Bush had given his "first Internet interview". Now I'm fairly sure the vast majority of the world had the same reaction as myself, Who. Gives. A. F*ck!?
