It's looking progressively worse weatherwise for Friday, but nothing is definitive yet. I'm assuming that we'll just have a couple of inches, and the relative annoyance therefrom. But if the school closes, we're out of business because that means that the roads are just impassable. If they're impassable for us, they're impassable for everyone. I've taken to posting updates on the Bump site, but there's nothing more to be said till tomorrow. In any case, I've got some good movies out from Netflix, so Friday night maybe I'll be sitting by the fire, smiling at a Lubitsch film, planning for Bump 2006...
Last night the team of Ben and Ewok won the election. Or Benewok. It was close, right down to the end. That's why I don't like elections. Think back to the classic Peanuts cartoon, where someone is saying how it was the end of the 4th quarter, the team was down by 5 points, then all of a sudden they intercepted, ran 99 yards and made a spectacular comeback touchdown to win the game at the last moment, at which point the fans went wild and carried the team off on its shoulders. And Charlie Brown asks, "How did the other team feel?" But, what are you going to do?
I see they're arguing CT over at EMT. Gimme a break. (Hen Hudders are reminded that there is a file about arguing against same on the group website.) I would imagine critical legal theory will pop up in January, with affs presumably critiquing that anything DWMs--or living white males, for that matter--do as judges is prejudiced, so the resolution can't be argued at all, which means that the aff has to throw out the rez, which ought to make things uniquely interesting for negs who are intereested in arguing whether ED in these Kelo-esque situations is just or not. Forget all the other aspects of CT (whether it's appropriate, legitimate, etc.). It just isn't as bloody interesting as seriously understanding the topic, the power of ED and the just use of legislative will. Oh, well...
