Tuesday Morning Open Thread

Good morning.

Two more days left of the year and the decade. I keep seeing lists of the best and worst not only of 2009, but the decade that ends Thursday night. This was the decade when George Bush, Dick Cheney and the rest of their GOP gang did their best to ruin the country and the world. For some reason, that seems like a long time ago, but it wasn't. And, we suffered through it for eight long, painful years. For me, the Bush/Cheney regime was the worst event of the decade -- an eight year long event. Let's hope it was the worst event of the century so we have the ugliest part behind us. Cleaning up their messes will take up a good part of the century.

It's wicked windy in the nation's capitol today. We have a "wind advisory," which "means that wind gusts over 45 mph are expected." And, that's making it feel pretty darn cold. The wind chill is in the teens. I'm sure the wind is making flying even more annoying today.
