SnOMG! It is totally the snocalypse! Snomageddon!
Chicago – and I suppose other places, who knows – are facing the worst snow storm in, well, that depends on who you ask. Some weather watchers are saying that it will be the worst since 1999. Others said it will beat the record set in 1967. The office manager at my job just Facebooked that she heard it could the worst snow storm in the country’s history. She might just be crazy…but don’t tell her I said that, she scares me.
I may regret saying this, but I am kind of looking forward to it? More.
Quick story! So, in 2003 I was living in fraternity house in Boulder and was exactly one of two liberals in the entire house. There was a blizzard the day the U.S. started bombing Iraq. While all the conservatives were salivating over the footage on Fox News, the other liberal and I were on the roof shoveling the very wet and very heavy snow. It totally would have collapsed the roof. We decided to have some fun; we made the biggest snowballs (they were seriously at least five feet tall) and pushed them off the roof. SNOW BOMB. Who knew conservatives screamed that loud?

Stability in Egypt
I am really not well versed in Middle East politics, but I found this article about the West’s fixation on “stability” in the region very interesting. Read.

In its latest Dietary Guidelines, the Agriculture Dept. is advocating for Americans to eat less and eat better. The guidelines are getting a lot of buzz because of the directness of the “eat less”
part.

Priorites, Congressman
Hmm, should House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) really be talking up his golf game? Glad to know our lawmakers have so much free time on their hands to play 120 rounds of golf during a year when Americans are losing their jobs, homes and, oh, faith in their government. Side Eye.

Fighting for Second?
Rahm Emanuel has the Chicago mayoral race on lock, but that hasn’t stopped the other candidates from throwing mud back and forth. On Sunday, former U.S. Senator Carol Moseley Braun didn’t take kindly to Patricia Van Pelt-Watkin’s accusation that Braun has not been as present in the black community of the South Side so she naturally brought up her past and called her a crack head. DAMN.
Watkins didn’t like that. Apparently, she has a case of the Whitney Houstons. She may have been hooked on the coke, but definitely not the crack. Crack is whack!
Bonus clip!

Here is a clip of the Today Show from the early 1990s. Bryant Gumbel, Katie Couric and correspondent Elizabeth Vargas talk about this scary place called the world wide web. Gumbel is unsure about the @ symbol, Vargas apparently thinks it is connected through telepathy and Couric, well, Couric knows it is the wave of the future. Don’t feel bad, guys, it is 2011 and my mom still thinks “LOL” stands for lots of love. LOL.
