James Bond took a long pull at the cold, hard drink. He sat back in the deep-red leather chair and reached for the cigarette case in the pocket of his houndstooth suit. He scanned the late evening crowd for signs of the enemy; his eyes came to rest on a raven-haired woman with porcelain skin. Bond took a Morland cigarette (the one with a triple gold band) from the flat, light gunmetal case and wondered how dangerous the mission would be.
Brandy, /everyone's out on a hot date except us! ---
We do have a hot date, don't we? ;-)
It is 2:11am here so no hot dating anymore. I seem to have forgotten in those 18+ years of relationship/marriage how to talk women into going out with me. :-(
Killian Bundy - that's a great article. I like this part: "James, you have to understand," Leiter said, chasing after him. "It's not really the CIA anymore, it's the CYA. At least no one gets prosecuted for doing his job at the Center on Climate Change and National Security."
Brandy: Well it's still hanging on by it's fingernails, but I think I am over the worst of it finally. Today has been quite nice for that. I will see how tomorrow goes. Should be heading up north with some friends and doing some target practice.
No snow yet Brandy. It's been cold enough a couple of mornings for it though. I still expect to see some by the end of the month. If you have seen my blog posting on the snow from the end of last year...
In central Mass, we've already had some snow, but no accumulation. I did have to brush it off the cars, though. I wonder if I can send the stuff to Al Gore.

Hello there. Just finished watching one movie (Land of the Lost - so so) and now the second one is on and it is boring (The Line). What's going on in here?
My husband installed this Weather Channel thing on the computer, and now even once in a while we hear a crash of thunder. I can't figure out how to shut it off.
Brandy, my spyware detector keeps wanting to get rid of it. I think something awful is about to happen to it. Oh noes...that would be so sad. Sorry Mr Tiger. No weather for you!
Hey all, just a drive-by to say the twins are still sick, no church for us tomorrow. My bride is also achy so it seems to be going around some. Maybe a quick brandy, Brandy?

Groups of conservative protesters opposed to massive government spending are taking to the streets again, this time targeting the media.
The "Can You Hear Us Now" rallies are planned for Saturday in front of NBC studios in Burbank, CNN in Atlanta and affiliate stations of NBC, ABC and CBS across the nation.
"American citizens outraged by President Obama and the actions of Congress have set their sights on a new target -- the so-called mainstream media -- with tea-party protests now set to boil in front of more than 30 press offices across the U.S.," the lead organizing group, FaxDC, wrote in a press release.
Now that should be fun to watch -- if they actually get it on screen, that is.
I agree, VT, it should be fun to watch. None of the MSM will cover it except Fox, which in turn will prompt CNN, MSNBC, ABC etc to report on Fox reporting on it ... this will give them another opportunity to show their immaturity by mocking the use of the word 'teabaggers'.
