    Well, I can carry a tune...

    If one Pedinska were to present one's self at the Island Grill and sing even a mediocre version of Carmen Ohio, one would be immediately swept up by the assembled staff and placed upon a a pedestal so high that clouds of joy would obscure one's ears.

    ...and I know all the words, so it looks like I've found a little piece of Buckeye heaven in Florida! I am most definitely going to take you up on this Jebbie.

    No need for a pedestal though, a good pom-tini will do. Wish I was going to be down there on the 7th. Sounds like the perfect setting to either celebrate or commiserate, depending on what the Fates deliver. ;->

    On-topic: I'm hoping that Bloomberg's aide was telling the truth about him not running if it doesn't look like he can win. RW America (all 24%) is not in the mood to put down it's weapons and make peace with ANY enemy, let alone the political left. And, from the rumblings in the blogospere, the left is starting to realize what kinds of weapons it has at its disposal, and will gladly wield them to avoid more of what we've suffered under the last two presidential terms. Such is the legacy the Republicans have left us.
