Katrina five years later, the Beck fest, education and the midterms are all on the slate today.  What, no mosque ranting?

I’m going to spend some time this morning tending to the garden.  The high humidity has done a number on them and I’ve been negligent in caring for them over the last week.  Sadly I’m going to have to scrap the red bell pepper plants.  They’ve picked up some horrid disease and it seems to make sense at this point to just get rid of them and start from scratch.

Happy Sunday.  Open thread.

I did a real stupid thing last night.  I attempted to move a television set from one room to another.

It was dumb for two reasons: a) the damn thing weighed at least 7000 lb. and b)  I have a history of lower back pain.  The painkillers haven’t kicked in yet so if you see anything in my posts today resembling this – $&!(#$!!* – you’ll know why.  Or if you don’t see any posts today, you’ll also know why.

The hot topic for the Sunday morning talking heads will no doubt be THE story of the century, the New York mosque and the end of life in America as you all know it should it be built.  Let us know if you hear anything else of note.

Happy Sunday. Open thread.

$&!(#$!!*!&

It’s 197 degrees in south Florida today, just a few degrees below Hell’s ambient temperature. I know because I just opened up the patio door a couple of inches and felt a whoosh of hot, stinking, humid air hit me in the face.  Sort of like that backdraft phenomena firemen experience when opening up a door to a room in flames.  I might save a little money on electrical costs by frying my eggs this morning out on the deck.  Find a nice flat rock, break an egg over it and I’ve got my fried eggs.  Seriously though, I’m not venturing outside until this ridiculous weather lets up.

Not sure who is on this morning but if you hear a talking head say anything of interest, give us a shout.  Open thread.

Happy Sunday.

The hot topic is going to be California’s overturning of Prop 8.  If you’re unsure of how you feel about gay marriage, I’m sure the Family Research Council’s Tony Perkins can set you straight (pun intended).  He’ll be on Face the Nation this morning.

I’m looking to watch CNN’s Fareed Zakaria and his follow up to the New York mosque controversy.

Happy Sunday.  Open thread.
