Whats the Name of The Winter Storm?

Today is Monday December 9th ,2013and on the tail end of Winter Storm Dion. Who decided that we have to name winter storms? The geniuses at The Weather Channel obviously have spare time on their hands since the record number of bad hurricanes never appeared this fall. The gloom and doom meteorologists said last spring that weather patterns indicated a rough season for the Eastern United States coast. Guess what? We had one little hurricane that did little more than create rainfall. So my theory is that they jumped into the winter storms. So far we have had record cold in Kentucky the past two months and it isn't even winter yet. So much again for global warming.The University of Kentucky Football Wildcats have also lived up to last year's standards by ending the season 2-10. Bobby Petrino, the resident Western Kentucky thug had his way with the boys in Blue and the Louisville Cardinals rolled over them. I guess the Air Attack needs a little work. They(Mitch Barnhart) are going to spend over $100 million to downsize Commonwealth Stadium from 68000 to 61000 , but are adding luxury skyboxes. Now I know little about managing college athletics, but this plan certainly goes along with the past handling of football at UK. They are also going to redo ticket allocation for football fans. I don't think I would do that Mitch. Joker seems to be doing well at Florida and Florida State seems to have survived without Stoops. I believe John Clay could have done as well as Stoops, at least John Clay seems to think he could. Speaking of The Lexington Leader it's weird that the political cartoonist Joel Pett is the voice of that creepy little pig on the insurance commercial, you know the one that rides the cute blonde around on the waverunner. That is some seriously sick advertising. What are they saying? Does the cute blond have the hots for a little pig? And isn't everyone about sick of Flo and her insurance? It was cute at the start, but enough is enough. The lowest of the low in commercials to me has to be those two sleazy nerds in the Sonic Commercials. What is it with these two guys? They have to be the single most cause for irritable bowel syndrome in the country. Everyone knows guys like them from high school. Their big exception is that they became famous in their irritable quotient. Similar nerds like them go on to coach football.I'm going to NYC in a couple of weeks but will miss Santa Con by one week, which is a shame but I'll get over it. We're trying to figure which play to see but haven't arrived at a definite pick. It seems Kinky Boots with Cindy Lauper has our most attention. The best play this season was The Million Dollar Quartet. The worst play was Flash Dance with Memphis coming in second. I guess while I'm on the subject of quality plays ,Cats has to be the low point of any theatrical event I have paid to see. That is two hours of my life I will never recover.Cats rates up there with the Great Ice Storm of 2009. We were in Charleston this fall and have discovered a good restaurant down by the waterfront called the Fleet Landing.It is located adjacent to the pier where the huge cruise ships dock.Like most other restaurants in Charleston it's really great dining with a million dollar view. The other trip in October was to Siesta Key in Florida where we had some great seafood. A less than memorable lunch was at a Cuban restaurant near Long Boat Key. White table cloths , over-priced cuisine and a room full of octogenarians. What a recipe for disaster. Reminded me of Cats. Too soon we boarded the packed Allegiant jet for a two hour flight back to Lexington and Obama Care news. Seriously does anyone in this country besides the Sonic Nerds really care about this idiotic pack of golddiggers we have that is guiding our country? They virtually shut our country down. This Tea Party is the worse concept they have come up with lately. Congress is at an all time low in ratings,as is the President. The NSA is spying on everyone and the IRS is auditing select groups, and everyone thinks lying is alright.The Democratic candidate against McConnell is being wined and dined and financed by Hollywood actors and tycoons in the entertainment industry. I won't vote for her, but McConnell is eaten up with special interests as well.What a Choice! So far the Shawnees have left Ft. Logan alone but the fort fans are going to spend another quarter mill putting up more rotting logs. Some things never change.
