Squirrels are evil.
I did too tell you so. Here.
I’m starting to build a case, now.
Flaming squirrel blamed for small Calif. Wildfire
See? They are starting to learn tricks!
Bah!
Apologies to The Good Man and the Great Mom-in-Law who are kinder souls than me and would be horrified to know I giggled at the thought of a flaming squirrel.
Lots of weirdity going on in the world. Lots of changes, flip outs, oddness.
Market up. Market down. New president in a month.
And I think I’m changing jobs soon. Whoa Nellie!
Funnily enough, there is some comfort in my reading the ABQjournal during these crazy times.
Guess what? The Saturday Balloon Fiesta’s mass ascension didn’t happen! Too windy!
Reeeeally? That almost never always happens!
Oh Fair New Mexico, granting me comfort during troubled times.
May your winds blow gustily over the middle Rio Grande Valley and may the annual scent of roasting green chiles waft my way.
Yeah, we all know it’s bad. To punctuate, every day, we get a new photo of an anxious stockbroker.
As though we don’t know it’s *really, really* bad unless we see angst.
Behold, a symphony…
This post best viewed with the sound of “aaaaaaaaaagh” in the background:
These photos come from newspapers and a couple blogs all around the world. I’ve direct linked them so I’d imagine I’ll soon be asked to take them down…but for now, behold……
Just proving I am still shallow despite deep thinking earlier this week…:)

BRIDGEPORT, Conn. – A Connecticut judge has given the brush-off to a blonde woman’s lawsuit claiming L’Oreal Inc. ruined her social life when she accidentally dyed her hair brunette with one of its products.
Charlotte Feeney of Stratford says she can never return to her natural blonde hue, a shock that left her so traumatized she needed anti-depressants.
She says she suffered headaches and anxiety, missed the attention that blondes receive and had to stay home and wear hats most of the time.
A Superior Court judge dismissed Feeney’s 2005 lawsuit Monday, saying she never proved her allegation that L’Oreal put brown hair dye in a box labeled as blonde. The company also had disputed the claim.
Feeney referred questions on Wednesday to her attorney, David Laudano, who has declined to comment.

Um…she can “never return” to her, um, “natural” blond color?
Cuz, uh, it doesn’t grow out of her head that way? Naturally?
(bwa hahahaha!)
Me thinks bimbo tried to carve out some dollars by doing an ‘at home’ dye job and jacked it up!
And home-squirrel had to wear hats most of the time? Wha? Because her widdle hairs were brown?
Oh please.
My naturally brown locks have scored me plenty of attention.
Miss Feeney, if you can’t work it being a brunette, then you’re doing it wrong.
That the word “maverick” was originally coined to apply to cattle that didn’t have a brand? Meaning they technically didn’t belong to anyone.
Is the heavy campaign usage a mis-application of the word? Oh I think so. Oh yes I very much do.
So does Terrellita Maverick. See, her ancestor, Samuel Augustus Maverick was a guy who “…was more interested in keeping track of the land he owned than the livestock on it…unbranded cattle, then, were called ‘Maverick’s.'”
Ms. Maverick isn’t buying it when John McCain uses the word to describe himself.
“‘He’s a Republican,’ she said. ‘He’s branded.'”
Next time McCain or Palin uses that word. Remember: cow.
Moo!

Notes:
1. The good news is the word maverick didn’t crop up in last night’s debate.
2. One might think after the last two posts that I am an Obama supporter. I’m not. Call me undecided. A lot. And call me disappointed. As in where can I park a protest vote?
3. Political posts two days in a row. TGM might faint!
