Ted's Seat

SPLAT!

Boned Jello

Just last week I read that the DNC was urging House democrats to run with Obama when they go home to campaign.  Unless.   Unless his poll nunbers should fall into the low 40s, at which point it's every man for himself.  Ahem.

Twitter / West Wing Report: Latest Obama polls: 45% ap ...

While dismissing any real possibility that Martha Coakley will lose the "Kennedy" senate seat. Rick Klein [The Note] affirms that Mass Democrats are terrorized by the closeness of the race. 
And, asked whether she’s asked President Obama to campaign for her, Coakley told reporters: “I haven’t.”

And this ... Desperate Dems try to Palinize Massachusetts Senate race

Frantic over the possibility that a Democrat might lose the race to replace Sen. Ted Kennedy in Massachusetts, the Democratic National Committee has sent its top spinner, Hari Sevugan, to the aid of Democratic candidate Martha Coakley, who appears to be rapidly losing ground to Republican Scott Brown. But what can Sevugan do to shore up Coakley's struggling campaign? Well, he spent his first day on the job trying to tie Brown to Sarah Palin.

Early Monday afternoon, Sevugan sent out an email to reporters featuring a link to a story on the lefty website TPM. The headline: "Is Sarah Palin Avoiding Mass Senate Race?" The story quoted a Democratic strategist saying that "it's interesting" that Palin is "nowhere to be found in this race." TPM conceded that GOP sources say there has been "no talk" about Palin visiting Massachusetts. But that didn't stop Sevugan, who is quoted declaring that Palin's supporters "are anxious for her to weigh in." At the top of his email to journalists, Sevugan wrote, "Come on, Sarah, why are you being so shy?"


Ain't this fun?

About that picture... back when I was a working stiff I witnessed a similar event. Owing to my seniority at the time, I was able to garner a much coveted window cubicle on the 13th floor spaces we occupied. This was a pretty big deal in our world and its significance was diminished only a little by the fact that the ruling class had dictated that we had to face our desks inward, away from the window. Anyway, one day as I was working away studiously, I heard a loud "splat" behind me. I turned and looked and saw nothing but the perfect dust outline on the window of a wingspread pigeon left at the very moment that its aspirations met reality. I think that pigeon could have been a Democrat

We had a dove smack our patio window that way. Unfortunately for the dove, it hit the window square on and the hawk that was chasing it, flared out, caught the dove in it's talons as it rebounded off the window. The hawk while catching the dove in mid air managed to turn enough that it hit the window at a shallower angle and more or less bounced off the window. It landed in the yard about 20 ft, away. The hawk seemed a little dazed as it sat there kneading the dove for several minutes. Eventually the neighbor's cat jumped over the fence and the hawk took off with its dinner when my son opened the patio door to start pelting the cat with BBs.

Neither the dove nor the hawk left such a pristine outline on the window. We might of had a nice dove print if the dove hadn't been flying all out straight at the window when it hit. All we got was a dusty smudge.
