And then we’re all gonna suffer from the snow death, again. Approximately 93,000 Kentuckians on 55 water systems remain without access to water due to power outages and other damage from the ice storm. Nearly 1,000 National Guardsmen are assisting with recover efforts. And repair crew after crew crew from other states are on their way. So far 78 counties have declared emergencies, 47 cities and 113 emergency shelters have been opened statewide.
Let’s get one of these for Jim Gooch. [Blankets with Sleeves]

“The Party of the Twilight Zone”
Jake, the GOP’s “muscles” are as flabby as Limbaugh’s floppy jowls. Rush is now their main spokesperson. (Did you see where Rep. Gingrey criticized Rush and then, in fear and trembling, immediately backed off and apologized to the Republican Allah?) Of course, their snubbing of anything that could help ordinary Americans will backfire. The GOP is fast becoming like the short-lived Whigs or Know-Nothings of the 19th century. In many ways, they are a true amalgam of those two parties.
P.S. Poor Mitch, he may soon have to retire to his own McConnell Center to have anything to “lead.”
