 Outside the Beltway 

BELTWAY TRAFFIC JAM

I’m actually working at home on a manuscript today, so no encounter with local traffic to report on.

The last linkfest of the week:

  • Venomous Kate has some useful technical info for other bloggers using MT.

  • Stephen Bainbridge has recovered sufficiently from his bout with food poisoning to bring us the latest from the Martha Stewart trial.
  • Steve Verdon points to a dozen reasons, aside from the scream, that Howard Dean imploded.
  • Cam Edwards notes that Bush and Blair have been nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize.
  • Citizen Smash has a Super Bowl pool ongoing in his comments section.
  • Brian Weatherson has everything you’ll ever wanna know about the “wanna” - “want to” dichotomy.

BELTWAY TRAFFIC JAM

A little late today, owing to being back at the office and having some catch-up to do. The daily linkfest:

BELTWAY TRAFFIC JAM

The roads are icy and I therefore worked at home again. The panic is setting in. Even the federal government shut down early today because of the weather.

The linkfest, however, must go on:

  • Jay Solo is having dreams about Michael Moore and Jay Leno.

  • Frank J lists Top Ten Ways Bush Could Lose the Election. At least two of them are funny.
  • Anastasia has the Bonfire of the Vanities. (OTB has it next week.)
  • Bill Dennis has a really hot picture of Drew Barrymore, who has endorsed Wesley Clark. But I’m willing to overlook these things.
  • Sean Hackbarth has yet another of these damned what I hope will be the penultimate Duck Hunt.
  • Venomous Kate says it’s irresponsible to do it without protection. She makes no allusions to showering with a raincoat, however.
  • One Man Band writes, “Two things you never thought you’d see in the same picture: the pope and breakdancing…” There is, alas, no picture.
  • The Other Kate notes that Canada’s deficit is higher than the U.S.’s.

Screw you at most 80%.

Ah, I'm not feeling so wimpy about staying home this morning. The powers-the-be at OPM were just a little slow in making the smart decision to shut down.

BELTWAY TRAFFIC JAM

I’m working from home today owing to the snow, but most people around here lack that flexibility, so the show goes on.

The daily linkfest:

  • Alex Knapp questions the BBC’s telepathic bird sighting.

  • Stephen Bainbridge is perplexed by an odd judicial order in the Martha Stewart case.
  • Poor Jen had to go in to work today.
  • Bill Hobbs says there are two ways to assess deficit numbers: the right way, and the media way.
  • Rambling Morgan asks that we excuse her sunburned boobs. Consider it done!
  • Dodd Harris anxiously awaits Super Bowl [L]XXXLVIII, which rolls around in 2054.
  • Kevin Ayward continues to chronicle all things lewd, this time a play.
  • Venomous Kate takes a stand against renting one’s infant to drug dealers.
  • The Other Kate thinks Hans Blix is showing just a wee bit of inconsistency.

Hey! I had long since corrected that typo by the time you posted this! But I am anxiously awaiting it. I'll only be 84 after all.

Heh. Look, I have enough trouble with regular math, let alone Roman math!

I'm almost embarrassed that you linked to that post - it's particularly Bonfire-worthy.

OT and all that but--I'm waiting with bated breath for the winner of the Gephardt Caption Contest. Please, please, please, James?

My sunburned boobs say thank you for the linkage, James.

BELTWAY TRAFFIC JAM

It’s Friday, but I should avoid the worst of the traffic.

The last linkfest of the week:

  • Spoons has uncovered a dastardly plot to screw Illinois police out of their pensions.

  • Dan Drezner clearly does not grasp the concept of “open debate thread.”
  • Baldilocks‘ dad is an African non-American. Yet he’s also black! Spooky!
  • Jen Speaks on African-American white boys. It’s the Twilight Zone!
  • Jeff Quinton has more crap about South Carolina. Man, I’ll be glad when that one’s over.
  • The Commissar has a Move-On poster submission. Way too mainstream.
  • The Other Kate has some off-colour humour.

It kinda cracks me up that you mock-complain about the traffic, you of the 15 minute commute. Thanks, as always, for the linkage (and resulting traffic). You've been especially generous lately. =)

BELTWAY TRAFFIC JAM

Currently, there flashing Traffic Alerts for 495/I-95/Outer Loop in VA (between US 50 and the Wilson Bridge), I-66 E (between Centreville and the Beltway)
I-66 W (between the Roosevelt Bridge and the Beltway), and I-395/Shirley Hwy. N (between Springfield and the 14th St. Bridge). Which is to say, THE WHOLE DAMNED ROAD NETWORK. WaPo promises that “In just a few days, Traffic gets better.” Sadly, it’s only the Traffic section that gets better. And since I seldom have Internet access while driving. . . .

At any rate, the daily linkfest:

  • Tiger has been doing it so much his hand hurts.

  • Venomous Kate is collecting Snark Hunt submissions. Deadline is midnight Hawaii time which is, I believe, 7:30 in dog years.
  • Laurence Simon reports on racist cop tactics.
  • Terry Oglesby on a mad cow disease discovery at Auburn University. (Lewis Grizzard once said they’d invented a new use for sheep at Clemson: Wool.)
  • Frank J links to a funny Howard Dean photo. Go visit Frank to inauguarate the Year of the Monkey.
  • Robbie thinks Ron Reagan, Jr. is not much like Dad. I was pretty sure of that when he was on SNL dancing in his underdrawers while on hiatus from ballet dancing.

That's not funny.

Ya know, traffic tonight was great. Door-to-door, I made it home in 50 minutes. It's normally 60-80 minutes.

BELTWAY TRAFFIC JAM

I’m working from home this afternoon so escaped the traffic altogether. But the linkfest must go on:

  • The Other Kate is not as taken by John Edward’s looks as is Kevin Aylward, but notices an odd resemblance.

  • Bill Hobbs thinks something was missing from the SOTU.
  • Paully Muller discusses campus politics.
  • Chomps meets the Democratic contenders. Hilarity ensues.
  • Venomous Kate’s Letter of the Day was X. I’m guessing it’ll be Y today.
  • Robert Tagorda has a good take on the Clark-Kerry “stars versus bars” flap.
  • Megan McArdle explains why a GOP splinter movement is unlikely.
  • Kevin Aylward, ironically, has a prayer for the porn-obsessed.

BELTWAY TRAFFIC JAM

  • Dodd Harris thinks it likely that, while President Bush is spending money like a drunken sailor at a half price sale at a whorehouse on payday, any Democratic challenger would spend more.

  • The Other Kate offers her predictions on the Iowa Caucuses.
  • Jeff Quinton has the SC primary news roundup. What’s with those strikethroughs on all the Gephardt events?
  • Tiger is so chillin’, he’s illin’.
  • Goldie the Drama Queen wishes to be spanked.
  • Miller’s Time has started a linkfest called the Six Pack.
  • baldilocks had a case of insomnia so bad that listening to Steve Forbes discuss the economic implications of the Mars venture didn’t help.
  • Venomous Kate is not a morning person.
  • Laurence Simon posts on a parrot that is not dead. While it should be stiff, bereft of life, and resting in peace, it is in fact a live parrot.

Or triple, as the case may be. *blush*

Really, folks, read it three times, it's almost good and I could use the traffic . . .

BELTWAY TRAFFIC JAM

The Feds have the day off for Dr. King’s birthday, which should make traffic lighter for us poor working stiffs.

The linkfest:

  • The Other Kate reports that having an enormous penis isn’t a problem in Canada. Good to know!

  • Dan Drezner has passed the million visitor mark. Now, he wants a new site name. [WalMart is thinking along similar lines. -ed.]
  • Admiral Quixote’s Roundtable has a spiffy new look.
  • Jen Speaks provides yet more evidence that Dean is weird.
  • Norbizness is having a happier, furrier, puppy story time at his new digs.
  • Venomous Kate got the Snark Hunt up late. So’s this link.
  • Chris Betram is looking to find a Swiss made-for-television movie about Jean-Jacques Rousseau which aired when six people owned VCRs.
  • Sean Hackbarth has the 6th edition of The Duck Hunt.
  • baldilocks has a pic of President Bush in his new suit. Wonder if he’ll wear it at the SOTU?
