Before I forget this, too, I’ll just post this as an early “Friday-Saturday-Sunday” linkfest. Link to this post and track back. More below the post.

With my head totally storm-blasted and still digging out from a week and a half of limited-to-no-access and chores, projects and work I had to let slide, I’ve let some other, more recent, things slide and slide and…

Thirteen Things I Forgot to Do Today… until now

1. Look up a repair manual for Lovely Daughter’s lil Sony Vaio notebook (cos I’m having a DEVIL of a time getting the thing apart enough to work on it!). OK, doi9ng that now.

2. Call our homeowner’s insurance agent… again (about the damage to property–yeh, yeh, I know: can’t let it go too long *sigh*). OK, tomorrow. If I remember to check my todos on my Palm.

3. Change the cat litter. Yeh, today was the day for a complete changeout and it’s gotta be done before I go to bed…

4. ALMOST (does that count?) forgot to post today’s Linkfest Haven Deluxe post. Almost. *whew!*

5. Morning supplements/meds. Right. Something I know better than to forget, but how can a guy remember to take his ginko biloba unless he’s already taken it?

6. Log on to my Mitchell’s online book for my car to look up a wiring diagram. Have to do that tomorrow… (Said that yesterday.)

7. (Re-)Set up the downstairs leg of the network (subnet an entirely new leg with it’s own router/firewall separate from the rest of the network. Not just for fun).

8. Clean off deck.

9. Get the mail. (I forgot to pick up the mail! *sheesh!*)

10. Give “The Boys” (son’s dogs) “Fourth Meal”. Oh, well, they can live without that one all right.

11. I forget what number eleven is. Oh, yeh. See #2. I forgot (and how the HECK did I do THAT?!?!?) to check my todo list on my Palm. *profound sigh* No wonder I forgot so many things today.

12. The bedding. I forgot to wash it last weekend (when we didn’t have power but a local laundromat did) and have meant to pop it in every a.m. since our power was restored… but haven’t. *sigh*

13. Do my Thursday Thirteen.

Ann Coulter. Gotta love her.

As long as we have revived the practice of celebrating multicultural milestones (briefly suspended when Condoleezza Rice became the first black female to be secretary of state), let us pause to note that Mrs. Clinton, if elected, would be the first woman to become president after her husband had sex with an intern in the Oval Office.

A vote for Billary will be a vote for once again supplanting Congress as the Best Lil Whorehouse in D.C. with the one previously run by Bill at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.

Go here. Now.

Regular readers here already know I’m no fan of the way the war in Iraq has been managed to date (nor any great fan of announced plans). But. I would never embrace the Democrap alternatives (“Run away! Run away!”) which amount to nothing less than endorsing utter and complete defeat.

Hugh Hewitt and TTLB have joined forces to push a pledge:

If the United States Senate passes a resolution, non-binding or otherwise, that criticizes the commitment of additional troops to Iraq that General Petraeus has asked for and that the president has pledged, and if the Senate does so after the testimony of General Petraeus on January 23 that such a resolution will be an encouragement to the enemy, I will not contribute to any Republican senator who voted for the resolution. Further, if any Republican senator who votes for such a resolution is a candidate for re-election in 2008, I will not contribute to the National Republican Senatorial Committee unless the Chairman of that Committee, Senator Ensign, commits in writing that none of the funds of the NRSC will go to support the re-election of any senator supporting the non-binding resolution.

The pledge calls “a resolution… that criticizes the commitment of additional troops to Iraq” an “encouragement to the enemy,” but let’s not mince words here. The correct phrase is “aid and comfort to the enemy.”

Of course, none dare call it treason because such “aid and comfort” to the enemies of the United States has formed the successful basis of many “career” politicians’ *spit* lives (notably including Jean Fraud Kerry *gag-spit*).

Just call me “None” would you?

Go, sign the pledge. The Iraq War is not the single most important front in the War for the Soul of the West (I’d say that place goes to the war for the soul of Americans too complacent to actually give a damn about preserving their own lives, liberties and property, but who am I to make that call, eh? :-)), but it is an extremely important front right now.

Now, if only Hugh and TTLB would come up with a pledge aimed at honest border conrol…

Thanks, Layla, for the tipoff. I seem to have missed more than I had thought during the twc power outage.
