Do Americans connote "deficit" and "debt" identically?

The Internets is Reality

So,

Tonight I took out the garbage.

Well, that's certainly blog-worthy enough for you to come out of blog-retirement.

I'm sure that there is more to the story.

As I was saying, I took out the garbage tonight and it was raining.  It has been raining all day.  Mostly a drizzle but it was coming down pretty good at the time that I took the garbage out, of course.  It seems odd for this time of the year.

Global warming.

I believe the term is Climate Change.

Is that anything like ObamaCare becoming the Affordable Care Act since it hasn't quite worked out so well?

Affordable?

Remember the "opposite rule" when reading the names of laws.

How about "opposite-plus rule" since The Great and Powerful Oz promised that premiums would go down by $2,500 and they have in fact gone up over $3,000?

Wasn't this post about rain?

I believe that it was.

So, I took the garbage out and it was raining.  I came back in the house and told my wife, "It's still raining and it's really coming down right now."

She grabs her smart phone and taps the screen a few times and then holds the phone out so that I can see what she has pulled up.  It's a satellite image of the area showing that it's raining and that it's really coming down right now.

I looked at the image.

I looked at the image a little longer.

I looked at the image a little longer and tried to figure out what exactly I was supposed to glean from the image.

I gave up and asked, "What does it mean?"

She pointed to our approximate location on the map which was covered with shades of blue with the darkest blue being right over our city.  Then she explained that the blue area meant that it was raining.  She also showed me that it was raining to the northwest of us and that rain would likely pay us a visit tonight.

I looked at the image.

I looked at the image a little longer.

I looked at the image a little longer and then felt my shirt.  It was wet.  From rain.  That was really coming down at the time that I took the garbage out.  I touched the foster dog, who had gone out to pee at the same time that I took the garbage out.  She was wet.  From rain.  That was really . . .

"Did you not believe me when I told you that it was raining?"

It used to be that you had to be careful with information found on the Internets and were cautioned to verify it in some way.  Now, it appears that you have to be careful with IRL information and should verify it using the Internets.

It turns out that she did believe me (so she says) and she was checking to see if we were going to get snow tonight (so she says).

Too bad people don't use this Internets thingy to verify Obama's bullshit.

You don't need the Internets for that.  Just look to see if his lips are moving.

Just like taking garbage out in the rain.
