Another Nixon
Today Duncan had a number of posts about Chris Christie and “Trafficgate”, but this one instantly made me think of Richard Milhous “Tricky Dick” Nixon and the 1972 Presidential election.
Nixon didn’t need to do any of the things that resulted in his resignation, he was going to be re-elected, but his personality took him over the line. Christie is the same way, and you have to wonder if he does this sort of thing with the resources of the governor of New Jersey, what would he be capable of with the intel community, the IRS, DHS, etc. under his control? Is anyone interested in finding out?

The Arcticalypse Is Over
The Arctic Vortex has gone home after an unwelcome visit to the US. If it doesn’t come back for another 20 years, it will be too soon.
People down here are dealing with frozen or busted pipes, but we have been spared so far from reports of house fires started by space heaters.
I saw a number of the feral cats today, so they had someplace to hang out. I’m planning some better solutions if they still have the big plastic storage boxes on sale.
We’re back to our normal sixties to forties winter weather.
