So The Lord High HNIC was on TV again last night I hear. I was watching Reaper - which was not pre-empted solely due to my bold demands yesterday. Fear the Power of the Mambo Palace.
I know he feels that the world just need to hear his voice more in order to recognize the error of its ways and realize the path to enlightenment lay within its grasp, but does the Great Communicator run the risk of overexposure? Pretty soon people are going to get sick of him nd just tune out the mellifluous intoning of Axelrod's carefully crafted phrases. Any truth to the rumor that the entire press conference was rehearsed or was that bit by the TOTUS just coincidence?
Why again did we send out Kenneth the Page to give the response? This is why we are the minority party, boys. And did he not hink that the headlines today would be all about how the GOP still wants Obama to fail? Christ, Bush even knows that the you can't say that. I honestly think that there is a plan at the very top levels of the GOP to destroy the party. I think we've been infiltrated by and are being manipulated by Commies. call it the Red Scare if you want, but I have to think we're not really this stupid. Are we? Is the cupboard this fucking bare? He's all we got? Him and the Wolf Hunter? We are so fucked. Mid-terms, folks. Organize locally and don't depend on the RNC for anything!
And so it begins. First CO2 is declared a menace to society and an enemy of the state. Then we end mining so coal is no longer a viable fuel. Wind and sun...and brownouts, doubled utility costs and electricty rationing. Oh well, once martial law is declared and citizens are re-settled in state-run complexes the UN can decide who gets to use what appliances.
I can't wait until The Messiah explains how it's really in our best interest for the dollar to no longer be the world's currency. My buddy is certain that this is the beginning of a move to a one-world government by the UN and an end to sovereignty as we know it. He's also a flaming peter puffer of a liberal. I think it's just one more sign that the U.S. will slide to 3rd world status under the Appeaser-in-Chief.

Do it nice and easy and don't lose control now
Why Barry? Why must you invade my television tonight and preempt or even cancel my belovedReaper? It's payback isn't it? You've been reading my stuff, it pissed you off and so you chose to punish me by taking my Reaper away. That's a typically petty response from what is quickly becoming the thinnest skinned Administration in American history. And it hasn't even been 100 days yet.
In a bit of good news it seems that the number of executions worldwide doubled in 2008. Led by China, the world seems to be quoting George Carlin, "If you kill us, we'll kill you right back!" I'll take whatever little bits of good news I can find.
Meanwhile, I am not hearing a whole lot from the White House about the two hostages taken by the North Koreans. I am so proud that my government seems to think that it should remain silent while batshot crazy dictators kidnap Americans and hold them hostage. Reminds me of another naive dreamer elected in a deeply divided time.
I would be remiss in not mentioning the karmic payback of Bobby Jindal. Poor Bobby seems to have gone a railing about how wasteful it would be to monitor volcanoes like Mount Redoubt in Alaska. It seems to have erupted six times in the last week. Oh, Bobby, never go after stuff like that. Monitoring of volcanoes, storm tracking, anything weather or natural disater related because it will always, always, always come back to bite you in the butt. The minute you say what a waste of money it is, the doggone thing will do exactly what they wanted to watch it for and you'll look like and idiot. One more nail in the coffin of the former hope of the GOP.
It seems that Barry's EPA has decided to prod him in the direction of activism by declaring that CO2 is a clear and present danger to the United States of America. That dastardly CO2 makes the Taliban and Al Qaeda look like amateurs. Clearly the only thing to do is spend trillions of dollars borrowed from China to banrupt our country and drive private industry out of the country. Not that it matters, really. The Not-Ready-For-Primteime-Administration will just seize the assets of any company they want after they declare martial law.
Did I mention we are fucked?

Where is love now?
Honeymoon? What fucking honeymoon? Poor Obama. If he was any other President the headlines would be screaming, "Did we make a mistake?" Yes. Yes, you did.
Lessee what today's fun happening are that the not ready for primetime administraton:
Obama continues his own very special brand of diplomatic relations with our allies by sending a letter to Jacques Chirac pledging to work together over the next four years. Which went over SO well with Nick Sarkozy. Y'know, the current PM of France who has been hounding Obama for a sit-down since the innauguration. I'm sure this all part of a cordinated plan that we're just all too stupid to understand. I'm sure he's not punishing Sarkozy for comments made during the '08 campaign. Right? Because that would be ridiculously immature, petty and beneath the dignity of the Presient of the United States, right?
This on the heels of Obama's soon-to-be-a-YouTube-classic apearance on 60 Minutes. After listening to the President make jokes about people losing their jobs and laughing about the worst economy in 40 years, Steve Kroft asks, "Are you punch drunk?" 60 Minutes is fucking dead to the White House. Fuck them, man! You better pray your taxes are in order Kroft because the IRS is gonna be so far up your ass you're going to be tasting accountant! Teleprompter! Get the fuck in here and help us save this dumbass from imself. Now imagine if a Republican went on national television on the heels of making fun of the Special Olympics and laughed about people losing their jobs? I'm sure there would be little or no coverage just like there is now. I know a certain friend who would be alleging that this appearance proved that Barry was hitting the bong again.
The Nerw York Times even chimed in on Sunday. Rich, Krugman, Friedman, Dowd and the Editorial Page all take their digs at the administration. Yeah, when the Old Gray Lady unleashes the hounds you know the honeymoon is over, Barry.
Oh and Kos opines that Geithner is Obama's Rumsfeld - a sentiment echoed by Newt! I wonder what the expiration date is on Barry's bold pronouncement that he will not accept Geithner's resgnation? A week? Two weeks? A month at the latest? Heckuva job, Timmy!

Everytime they were sure they had you caught, you were quicker than they thought
So last night on Leno the Great Communicator, the most eloquent and brilliant President in American history said that his bowling looked "like the special Olympics." I think we can see why he chose Joe Biden as his Veep: two peas in a pod. Now of course we have the Democrats, the bastions of politcal correctness, saying, "Oh please, this is really nothing. Pay no attention to the utter insensitivity displayed by the President of the United States on national television. No need to talk about this, just move on." Heckuva job there, Barry!
On the heels of ridiculing all Special Olympians with his callous and petty attempt at humor, Barry moves on to usng his Teleprmpter to woo the Iranian people. Why do I get the nostalgic feeling of Bobby and Jack contemplating Bond-ian derring do ninety miles off the coast of Forida? Or even the first Bush leading the Iraqi Shiites to Saddam's scythe?
So we've got an IG looking into "what did the White House know and when did they know it" as relates to the Administration's pushing Chris Dodd to write an exemption into TARP so AIG could pay their bonuses. Y'know, the bonues that everyone on earth is on television grandstanding about? Tee Hee!
In another sign that Google may in fact be Big Brother they have introduced a "send undo" feature for Gmail. I'll be interested to see if it is just for Gmail users or if they found away around the old AOL limitations. Does his mean that Google really is now the ultimate power in the universe!?!? Oh, no, just a 5 second delay.
Eees foggy on zee river, man.
The French are in the streets again. This is what we have to look forward to if the Specialist in Chief enacs his entire agenda: a permanent underclass living off the tit of the Fed flush with a sense of entitlement and an unquenchable thirst for your money. Hoo-fucking-ray!

...and you could look deep into my eyes like I was a supermodel
A pretty blonde woman once bummed a smoke from me at BAM much to her large Irish husband's dismay. They were seated one row behind my brother and I. I taunted them that we had better seats. We all laughed. Sweet people. My thoughts and prayers are with the Irish lug and their family.
So Dubya's writing a book, eh? That should have allow people to continue to ignore the current trainwreck of an administration. By the way, want to see what a dignified answer from an ex-President sounds like, just read this:
Maybe Jimmy Carter could take some lessons.
Kim Jong Il seems to have watched Putin, Karzai, Chavez, China and others testing the not ready from primetime administration and decided to remind the world, "Hey! I still here fuckas. I fucking badass, ok? You no make me angly. You no rikey me ren I angly! But, I stirr ronery. So ronery."
Attorney General Eric Holder says, "Smoke up, dudes!"
On the heels of his pronouncement that condoms make the AIDS crisis worse, Pope Benedict tells Muslims that religion rejects violence. Which surely went over well in lands that see the Crusades as something that happened last week. Go ahead, try telling them that it was almost a thousand years ago and they ought to let it fucking go. Tomorrow should bring us a dissertation on the newly plaid sky.

I got broke headphones and no tunes
No. That's not a lyric. Just a statement. I like the Sony ear-hook type headphones which I can get at Radio Shack for about $10. Unfortuntely, I am rather hard on them so they generally last about a year. So $10/year for headphones. Not bad considering. I would be kicking myself if I bought some $300 Bose noise-cancelling headphones and they broke a year later. Not to mention they look dorky as fuck. So, long story short, I have to go to Radio Shack on the morning break. Maybe they offer and extended or lifetime warranty for like $3. Hmmmmm...
Everybody's up in arms about the AIG bonuses paid with yours and my tax dollars. Chuck Grassley suggested if they had any honor they would kill themselves rather than continue to wallow at the government's tit. You would think that such a thing was the devious work of Republicans paying back their fat cat friends, but no, low and behold an amendent to the TARP bill specificaly allowing these type of bonuses to be paid was stuck in there by none other than Countrywide's personal Sneator, Chris Dodd. Now the administration and the Senate are scrambling to blame each other and the GOP has a guy who says he warned Timmy G. in a letter weeks ago that this was going to happen an they needed to address it before it happened. I am liking the Obama administration more and more.
How long does the media continue to cover for President Teleprompter and the Not Ready for Prime Time Cabinet? I mean it wont be long before Bobby Gibbs just starts refuting questions and allegations in press conferences with, "Yeah? Well fuck you! Tell me how smart you are with the IRS rawling up yur ass, Tapper, you piece of shit! Anybody else wanna fuck with me? Anybody? We will rendiion your asses so fast it'll make your heads swim. And yeah, that is a water boarding reference. Oh and this is ALL off the record. If any of it is reported, we'll fucking just kill you, k? National security and all. Now moving back on the recod, who hre thinks that this is the greatest presidency in history? Everybody? Good."
Oh and this from the Pope is just completely indefensible. It's positively Gallileo-esque in its complete abandonment of any sense of reality. Jaw dropping.

Satan is real, working with power
It's St. Paddy's Day here in the city and the train is packed with soon to be hammered revelers clad in silly green hats. I wear no green. In fact, I am closer to orange. Not that I am loyalist or a dirty Prod, but it was the shirt I put on. The Newt was begging for play and by the time I realized it was the day of the living drunks it was to late to change. Plus the only green shirt I have is a dark green polo. Eh, maybe I'll go to Daffy's at the first break today and pick up some green. Or maybe not. I mean I'm half Irish and I know for certain that 70% of the people I'm looking at on this train draped in green for the beer and corned beef are NOT Irish.
I kinda feel about wearing green on St. Paddy's Day the way some folks feel abut the commercalization of Christmas. I'm Irish. I know it. Wearing green once a year won't make me any more or less so. Besides, what do you wanna bet that today is marred by violence? Not just the usual whack 'em in the head with a potato stuff that goes down on Fifth Avenue, but some real old school IRA blow shit up style violence. It won't hapen in our fair city but across the pond? Sure. I see hem sending a message. If I am wrong I'll admit it tomorrow. But in the meantime, why celebrate an army of violent drunks celebrating a snake banishing Saint by slugging the person closest to them or planting a bomb in a parked car to take out either some random Prods or Papists?
There is a small river of coffee roaring down the aisle of the train. Any bets on whether it's 2 parts Jameson?

Hey big spenders!
My dear friend Chris has set a wildly unrealistic goal for himself in the AIDS Walk Boston.
Did you look? Because he mentioned you three by name.
Now I know you probably can't afford to help him get the whole way there, but a little something? Maybe? Hell I even donated and I fucking hate Boston worse than the childproof medicine bottle with the little arrows that you have to line up that are absolutely impossible to open in the dark.
The reality is that you probably won't see this, but I have to say I tried.
You could even just drop him a small message of support. He's really not a stalker. Well, I mean that's not all there is to him, anyway.
If you found this and you are not one of the Big Three donate anyway. Dammit.

Broke, busted, disgusted, agents can't be trusted
The Hudson looks high today. Not "duuuuuuuuuuude" high, but rather, "Bessie get mah hip waders" high.
I may have mentioned that I discovered the local high school's field. And track. What a nice little facility. And open to the public! A sweet six-lane track, six tennis courts, a field-turf football/soccer/field hockey field and rarely that many folks there using the track. It's one of those tracks that feels kinds squishy under your feet. Mmmmmmmm. Now I just need a means by which to extend the baby carriage's handles about 6" and we'll be set. Even now though, walking slow, it's still a nice way to get a few miles in. The Mrs. would like to walk around the neighborhood. Plenty of people do. But with no sidewalks and lots and lots of blind turns, I see it as a disaster waiting to happen.
I see the Obama Admin has dispensed with the term "enemy combatant" to describe the lovely folks we have down at Gitmo. That's why they hate us, they never liked that term. I imagine that things will really turn around now. Maybe we can call them "friends who just don't know how much they secretly love us yet" or "silly goses who will never want to kill us all now that we don't call them enemy combatants and allow them access to our legal system" or maybe "psyhotic fanatics who still burn with an unabated desire to kill Americans." I'm kinda partial to the last one.
Shockingly the cure for peanut allergy seems to be eating peanuts. Allergists worldwide are baffled.
Draconian GOP leadership decried as clueless and inept as it presides over a soaring HIV rate in Washington DC and Democrats demand new city leadership in the nation's capital in the face of an HIV-rate which is on a par with Uganda. Oh wait, yeah...who's been inc harge of DC? For how long? I guess this is what we have to look forward to as a nation.

And I don't even care how she died, but I like it better if she smells of formaldehyde!
Well, the March meetings have passed and we are left with the aftermath: no away meeting, no new logo and a demand that all contracts for the AGM be re-negotiated. Good times, my friends, good times.
The Mrs. is having bad dreams so the family will have to wait another year to meet Jinju.
But hey, it's Friday the 13th so that's a positive.
There's an itty bitty lighthouse just north of the Tappan Zee Bridge that I pass everyday which never seems to be lit. WTF? You're a lighthouse.
Giddy up, 409!

What to write? The guy who got on the train and sat next to me smells like he just smoked two packs while waiting for the train. Seriously. And some chick just ran down the aisle smacking people as she went. We totally need a sit-com called "Metro-North." It would chronicle the riders of a certain train. Now sure, the logical thiung would be follow a few MTA workers so you could have a few trains. Maybe one of the Connecticut trains with the bar cars because everything's funnier when booze is involved.
I think it's very interesting to reconnect with someone that you haven't seen in decades and find certain things haven't changed a bit, but others have so very much. I mean you can read what someone wrote and hear them saying it just like you remember them, but then you see their pictures and think, "Well, goodness!" I mean it happens in both ways: ugly ducklings who've blossomed into swans and the former beauty queens who've lost their glow. I know, it's wildly superficial, but then so am I. There's also the complete opposite: people who look exactly the same, but whose personality has chnaged drastically for better or worse.
Either way it's fun to re-connect with people with whom you shared so much. I have gotten back in touch with people with whom I grew up. I mean people with whom I was with from Grade School straight through High School. Twwelve years. Thirteen for some. People who lived on my block. People who crushed on me and on whom I crushed. All this time later with new lives it's interesting to see if there's anything there but history. It's like I said about my family, with seven kids if you end up with even one with whom you would choose to associate if you were not related you're ahead of the game.

She wouldn't have a willy or a Sam. No Sam!
I've taken to titling these with a line from whatever hapens to be playing when I start writing. So they might act for me like a sort of history for where my mind was during any period. Music sometimes reveals more about where someone is than the words they say. Like the above. Clearly I am looking for a little cheer in these dark and desperate times. Who better than Noone to bring it?
Well those deep thoughts occupied me straight through Cortlandt and my chance for a quick connection and some headlines to peruse. So I'm stuck talking about the fact that someone near me on this train seems to be repeatedly shitting themselves. Y'know, they DO have restroms on these trains, folks. There's no need to shit right there in your pants. Gahhhd.
Headaches. I've been getting them. Towards the end of the day. I think it's the lack of caffeine in my diet lately. I used to start the day with roughly 36 oz. of coffee. Now I have switched to tea. I don't even know if it has ceffeine. I think I recall reading once upon a mattress that tea had more caffeine than coffee, but I could be making it up. Maybe it's the tea. Tazo Zen green tea. Could it be? But it's so tasty! I bet it's the lack of scotch in my diet. Lenten Headaches.

So I'm stuck talking about the fact that someone near me on this train seems to be repeatedly shitting themselves. Y'know, they DO have restroms on these trains, folks. There's no need to shit right there in your pants. Gahhhd.
Headaches. I've been getting them. Towards the end of the day. I think it's the lack of caffeine in my diet lately. I used to start the day with roughly 36 oz. of coffee. Now I have switched to tea. I don't even know if it has ceffeine. I think I recall reading once upon a mattress that tea had more caffeine than coffee, but I could be making it up. Maybe it's the tea. Tazo Zen green tea. Could it be? But it's so tasty! I bet it's the lack of scotch in my diet. Lenten Headaches.

And the gun that's hanging on the kitchen wall, dear, is like a roadsign pointing straight to Satan's cage
In what must come as a shock to all who thought that the annointing of Barack I the Munificent would bring peace and prosperity to all the world, end strife and heal the crippled, Northern Ireland is falling apart. Can't imagine why.
Sexting claims a life in XXXXX. Read that article again and keep something in mind as you wade through the self righteousness and victimhood: she emailed out nude pictures of herself. What's the cardinal rule of the internet? Never write or send something that you would not want eveyone on earth to see. What? She'd never heard of Vanessa Hudgens, Paris Hilton ar any of the Kardashians? Nudes will almost always find their way into the public eye. The fact that blame is being laid everywhere but at the feet of her obviously oblivious parents who are wildly railing about everyone "letting her down." Yeah, uh, Mom and Dad, ya might wanna look in the mirror there. I smell a lawsuit!
As I've mentioned before, my limited internet access on the way in rather limits my ability to comment on current event which - aside from the swing - is really the heart and soul of the Mambo Palace. I really have to start finding another source besides Google News for my headlines. Although it is hilarious watching headlines less than supportive of the Obama Regime appear and disappear in less than a minute. Seriously, they pop up and when you refresh, they're gone. I guess this is a test of how closely the Gogle Guardians are watching Blogger. Will they take punitive action against a guy whose blog is read by like six people and a few fish just for insinuating that they are censoring their news to conform to the edicts of Obama's Propaganda Minister Bobby Gibbs?
We shall see.

My living room smells like syrup and I don't know why
So we're going to get Iran involved in Afghanistan. We're also going to talk to "moderate" members of the Taliban. It won't be long before we follow Gordo's Gambit with Hezbollah. After that we can open up full diplomatic relations with Hamas. Will the Egyptian Brotherhood be getting an overnight in the Lincoln Bedroom? Glorious. They are laughing their asses off.

Far away places are faceless
From 3/6/09:
I'm on about the third or fourth day of some low grade fever bullshit. LOtsa cold sweats. Lotsa hot sweats. LOtsa fever hair and achiness.
That title is a line from Bobby Bare Jr.'s Stay in Texas which is a really, really good song. I might not want to stay or even visit Texas, but the song holds it own even so.
I didn't even bother to try to get an internet connection at Cortlandt this morning. Too out of it, and I just have no desire to see the news today. I feel like John reading about the lucky man who made the grade. Did I mention I am sweating my balls off and wore long underwear on a day when it will be close to 60? I need to get some Dayquil. Well, this is a rambling bout of semi-coherence, huh?
I'm too sick to drink which pisses me off to no end. The Mrs. was putting away Absolut like it was water last night and I was sipping Theraflu. Bed at 8. Christ. The princess must know I'm sck though as she was kind enough to sleep from about 8 until 5 this morning. Which I thought was wildly thoughtful of her.
Okay. That's it. Brain shut down.

Mom, I got a note here fron the Harper Valley PTA
So Barry has decided that now he's an expert on Wall Street - along with everything else - and has begun dispensing investment advice. By sheer force of will, the HNIC will raise the stck market and turn around the historic decline that has followed his election - or at least get some more money into the market to be seized by the gubmint! I cannot wait to see the meteoric rise that today surely will see. The headlines tomorrow will either be "Wall Street rebounds on advice from President Obama" or "GOP still using mind control to manipulate stock market and hurt America."
We watched Barry's pronouncement this morning and the Mrs. opined, "He sounds really dumb. Like he's reading everything he says. Is he stupid?"
Yes, honey, he is. And evil.
Democrats are looking at taxing healthcare to pay for healthcare. Motherfuckers just cannot help themselves. Penalize the productive to pay for the non-productive. We are fucked. Why work? Why bother? You work so that some lazy fuck can sit at home watching Jerry Springer burning blunts and complaining about the rich. By the time the adults get control back, if they ever do, the thing will be broke so bad that it can't be fixed.
I'm so fucking disgusted.
We need a fucking "Debt of Honor" ending. Not one or two, but ALL of them, including the press corps and the actvists. Just reset things. That's the reason I suppoted the Iraq War. Sometimes you just have to toss the board up in the ar and see where the pieces land. Were pretty fucking close. You think the anti-government movement of the 90's was bad? Get ready folks because Barry's gonna make Bubba look like Reagan and the zealots are not going to sit idly by. If I'm this pissed, imagine how those who are even more tightly wrapped are feeling. These are not people who write blogs and organize tea parties. Sure it plays into Barry's plans for Martial Law and a complete totalitarian regime for life, but they don't think that far ahead. Men of action. We all better pray.

Milk was a bad choice
So on the day after the snow I chose not to wear long johns. Stupid. With a good 30 mph wind coming off the Hudson onto the platform the backs of my legs are blue.
So Barry went hat in hand to Russia and thought that it would stay secret. Or did the HNIC get pissed at Russia for rebuffing him and make it public? I think it's probably a good idea to piss off Russia. Does he think he can play chicken with Putin? Putin shut off the fucking gas to the EU just to make a point. Barry voted present. Good fucking luck there, Barry.
Sign of the fact that we have a Democrat in the White House: CNN's headline after the markets fall to their lowest levels since 1997? Stock rebound in the works Yeah. Last year it would have speculated about the complete collapse of the American economy. No bias. None.
Note: Since I saw it this morning the word "possible" has been added to the title.
Note: "Rebounded" all the way up to close down 37.27. All hail CNN. GTFOH! I just clicked that link from earlier and it takes you to a story about today's "Stock Rally!" I shit you not. CNN: we change our story to fit our narrative and erase the evidence.
After weeks of re-affirming Bush's positions on everything from rendition to wiretapping to Executive power, the Administration uses some slight of hand to remind everyone how bad things were. You know before the light and wonder that is Obamaland.
Pat Conroy has returned to the Citadel. That's pretty generous of them after the way he treated them in print. I mean I love the books, but I would have the Lords Of Discipline visit him.

"And, absolutely, we need earmark reform. And when I'm president, I will go line by line to make sure that we are not spending money unwisely." -- Barry, 9/26/08 Ole Miss DebateSomeone seems to have forgotten to tell Rahm Emanuel. Because surely they were not just lying. I mean that would go against all of the change and I really hope that they wouldn't just lie to people like that. I mean that's almost like business as usual. Not that they will be called to task for any of it. Not when the White House punishes reporters who ask unflattering questions by freezing them out.

Snowblind
So we got about 8" of snow overnight. Thankfully it was bitchin' powder so shoveling the driveway was not nearly as bad as it could have been. Well, that and the snow shovel I got from the Devil's Playground. Looks silly as hell, but the damn thing's like a little plow. Add the damn gale force winds and we've got us a humdinger of day and could see as much as six more inches by six. I am curious as to whether our travelers will make it in which is half the reason I'm going in. Late.
In another indication that the country's fucked: with the President instilling redistributionist, protectionist, enviro-fascist policies that will cripple the ablity to this nation to survive in a global economy, the media is up in arms about his wife's arms. I'm gonna puke rght here on the train.
Chris, please hit the Kardashi-kunt smack dab in da kisser. Pretty please? With bling on top? HOnestly, WTF? I accepted long ago that the entire Kardashian family was fucked, but seeking out the guy who just beat the fuck out of his girl? For some press? She deserves a good smack in the mouth and Chris is just the guy to give it to her.
The downside of assembling a "team of rivals" is that by nature they will disagree with one another. Often and publicly. But this group is all for show anyway. The HNIC knows he's smarter than anyone else and he's the only one who really knows the true endgame. In the meantime, we cover all bases just in case and look like morons who cannot get the story straight. I am sure they are not paying atention to this in Tehran or Damascus or SWAT or Moscow or Caracas.
No, Dick, race played a role in seating BUrris? Not in the post-racial, post-partisan, post-clue paradise that is Obamaland. Cue the Casablanca quote.
AIG lost another $62B, huh? How's that plan to prop up the bubble working, Timmy?
Looking out at the Hudson I have to quote the Mrs., "Water's angry."
