Discussed today at the office: Moonshine found in truck stopped for weaving
Why exactly is this noteworthy? From the article:
Guffey told authorities he parked his truck with nearly $3,000 inside it in Flag Pond, took a walk and came back to find it full of moonshine.
He said he has been buying whiskey like that in eastern Tennessee and western North Carolina for a decade.
Honesty FTW.
For many many moons, my beloved Nichole has talked & dreamed about making & selling hair bows for little girls — as a hobby interest first, but also to see if a little bit of money could be made while she was having fun ;) Now, I’m happy to bring you the news that her dream has finally been realized! The Silly Bug Boutique (”clothes, bows, and more for your little ladybug!”) is open for business.
PS: The name (as I’m sure you’re wondering) comes from one of our nicknames for Audrey, “Bug” — “silly Bug”, of course, when she’s being extra-cute & playful.
Her acceptance speech Wednesday night at the RNC was a home run. Better than that. Bigger. Brighter.
As I said to Nichole not 10 minutes into Gov. Palin’s speech, and as I saw on Twitter, on The Corner over at NRO, and various other sites around these here intarwebs: regardless of what goes down in 2008, methinks we’ve just been introduced to the first female President of the United States. Dang, Martha, mah knees be weak! Wooooot! :D
An excerpt from a comment I left at one of my regular reads, wizbang:
What I think is really sending liberals’ reason spiraling around the bowl is this: she’s the anti-Hillary in all the right ways. Even at this admittedly-early-hour, it’s very, very conceivable that Gov. Palin, not tag-a-long Hillary, will become the first female President of the United States. And when that happens, a large number of liberal heads will simultaneously explode — it’s ideological doctrine, after all: “Hillary is Supposed To Be The First Woman President”, just like “Global
WarmingClimate Change Is A Real Threat”.
So to properly celebrate all of this (even just these possibilities!), I did what any sane person would do when they found themselves excited to be excited again about saying, “NO-bama” in November:
I made t-shirts!
I’m proud to say the design is 99% original. Parts that look official were inspired by some official logos/signage I found online; the only part that wasn’t created from scratch is the star-n-bars. What’s on these shirts is a combination of (1) a close approximation of actual McCain logostuffs, painstakingly recreated by my own hand/mouse, and (2) my own ideas as to what I wanted :)
The text, however, is all mine baby: “Sarah Palin may have stolen my heart, but I’ll give her my vote.”
Obamatron: bring it. Yo’ sorry, “Hopey McChangey”, empty-suit self just got dropped off at the dry cleaners :D
