Thanx GT... Made my night...

Not a JFCism to be had....

You have been hanging around JFC too long.. He is starting to rub off on you.. :D

Michale

I can't go for the statement because of the qualifier last few weeks ...

Which brings us back to DOH... The only way out of the above colliery as stated is for a Prognosticrat to come on out and state that the goberment needs to get back to goberning and that is what the election is about.

Any statement on some fictionalized issue....Squirrel....

Ummmmm, where was I????

Squirrel.....

While you may "Neil Peart" all of the time ( the early stuff is best...not yours, theirs), I would still point out that other outlets and mass sources will not be on the same "Page" they will just "Jimmy" it up...

squirrel....

Ding, Ding, Ding!!! We Have A Winner!!! :D

I am guessing a terrorist attack on US Proper by agents of ISIS....

Michale

How about:

"This election, like the past few, will be about the shiny, shiny object that we in the media decide to obsess over in the final weeks of the campaign."

?

Heh.

-CW

Yea?? Well...... uh... Never mind.. :D

Michale

Unfortunately,the above statement does not make for good fodder for the news cycle, so it is unlikely that the statement would ever be utilized properly or repeatedly by a political prognosticator in way that gains traction.

And M 11....

I have lived there and we actually saw the sun.. It was the best hour and a half of the whole year.. :D,

Again with the overstatement, we all know that now a days it is at least three hours of sun... but global warming might be having an effect. :D

I believe the universe might implode soon as there was no rain for the Rose fest parade this year...for the first time since....I can't remember.

Yeah, the West Coast in general doesn't get the thunderstorms common most everywhere else in the US. Once every couple of years, a good thunderstorm will happen, and the Californians all look out their doors to watch the lightning, because it's such a rare event. That is, those that aren't hiding under their beds in terror from the thunder... strange but true....

:-)

-CW

That is simply not true...

I have lived there and we actually saw the sun.. It was the best hour and a half of the whole year.. :D

Seriously, though.. The rain in the Pacific NorthWest is not nearly as bad or as plentiful as one might think...

And, with one exception, I have NEVER seen violent storms in Oregon or Washington as I have seen in Florida...

That one exception would be the rain and storms that caused the Great Willamette Valley Floods Of 1996.

But, all in all, the rain is not nearly as plentiful in the PNW as one might think...

They swore to us that this election would be all about Obamacare. And nothing but Obamacare.--And, once again, they've completely let us down.

Oh, and CW, Southern California isn't the only place where climate equals weather. You could loop San Francisco's daily weather forecast from any day you choose, and it'd be good the rest of the season. In Porland, Oregon the only thing you need to know to reliably predict a daily forecast of "mourning fog and rain with showers throughout the day" is whether its winter and might snow instead!-- Then, out in the desert...

That's a pretty good analogy. Except in bizarre places like Southern California, where weather often equals climate. I'm thinking of a line from "LA Story" where Steve Martin is a weatherman and delivers a weather report along the lines of:

"Coastal fog to burn off by midday, clear skies, in the 80s at the coast, hotter in the inland valleys. Our next weather report will be in four days."

Heh.

-CW

I like that comparison. Trying to determine the specific issues of an election a year or more out is rather comparable to trying to predict which days it will rain next year.

Climate is reasonably predictable using nothing more than a calendar. Summer's hot, winter's cold. Your local 48 hr weather forecast, high, low, chance of precipitation is pretty accurate, the five day forecast much less so.

Politics is about same. You can describe the political climate pretty well, Red states, Blue states, demographics, primary structures etc. and how all these are trending historically. Pollsters can pick winning candidates reliably a few days ahead of the actual voting. It's all the extrapolation in between that bedevils detailed prediction and always will.

Or, gods forbid, a MANDATE!! :D

Isn't HilRod sitting the season out because of steroid use? Oh, wait...

Heh.

Mary Matlin high? OK, which show was that, I might have to check that out...

dsws -

Say it three times and click your heels: "GOTV... GOTV... GOTV..."

Heh.

My favorite: will it be a CHOICE or a REFERENDUM? Will it be a SYNONYM or a SNYONYM? We all wait with bated breath for the pundits to declare...

Sigh.

-CW

Note that I didn't feel the need to specify which election. Three months out, two years and three months, four years and three months, whatever.

Quantum™ be upon you.
