Denver – Good morning, everybody! I hope your holidays have been going well. I recently upgraded the Green Couch to WordPress 2.7 and have been lovin’ every minute of it since. And already, the WordPress Cool Peoples are working on WordPress 2.8 and they want YOUR input on how to add/improve the WP 2.7 version.

You can tell the WP Cool Peoples what you want by taking part in this survey. Also, make sure you vote as soon as possible – the survey ends at midnight, December 31, 2008 (UTC).

WordPress 2.8 is scheduled to be released in early March, 2009.

Denver – Good morning, everybody! I hope you had a great and governmentally-bailed out Friday. As the mercury continues dropping, snowstorms ravage the northwest, bury the Midwest, and pound the northeastern parts of the United States, global warming experts are filing for unemployment in record numbers! They are alarmed! They are outraged! And they will appear before Congress on Wednesday to request a bailout of the floundering global warming alarmist industry!

I swear to God – put your hands on a stack of Bibles!

And say, “Got-damn! It really hurts to raise my waxed eyebrows!”

Hot-damn!

Anyway .. as the few remaining Green Couch readers know, I am a desert boy living in Colorado and snow is forever a novelty for me. The last time it snowed, I built (another) snow structure and then CRUSHED it with my 1977 Dodge Ramcharger 4×4.

GOOD TIMES! GREAT VIBRATIONS!

I did a little a web crawling and found a few sites for ya’ll to check out today.

• MSN Weather
• Weather Channel
• Long Island Weather
• ABC News
• Snow in Las Vegas
• Terri’s Snow Wallopin’ in Wisconsin
• Candy’s “Let It Snow!”

A time elapse video of a snowstorm in Denver in 2006 – cool!

And here’s another cool video titled, “Snow Storm”:

See you later, gators ..

Denver – Good morning, everybody! I hope your governmentally-bailed out week has been good. BLARP! BLARP! EXCITING SENTENCE TO CATCH YOUR ATTENTION: word comes from Washington, D.C. that President Bush has scrapped the American capitalistic financial system in favor of Barack Obama’s socialist-spending programs!

Bankruptcy will become a thing of the past! Fiscal accounting will become obsolete!

MBA degrees will no longer be offered at Ivy League schools!

Need a loan?! Call your Congressman!

Forgot to pay your credit card bills on time?! Call your Congressman!

Bought everyone in your extended families a new car but can’t afford it now?!

Call your Congressman!

Forgot to pay your house bills on time?! Call your Congressman!

Forgot to pay the manicurist last night?! Call your Congressman!

Wow! That iced chai sure had a kick to it this morning! 

Seriously, though, according to news reports, Chrysler and General Mismanagement (GM) have to produce adequate plans to Congress by March 31, 2009 to ‘splain how the two automakers will repay the loans ($9.4 billion for GM; $4 billion for Chrysler) that President Bush set aside for them.

“Allowing the auto companies to collapse is not a responsible course of action,” President Bush said, citing danger for the entire national economy as well as the carmakers. Bankruptcy, he said, would deal “an unacceptably painful blow to hardworking Americans” across the economy. [Courtesy Yahoo]

What this means is that if the automakers do not come up with a plan by next March, we will start this whole process all over again.

Got student loans making your life miserable?!

Call my Congressman!

Pretty please with honey on the side?

Thanks!
