Wonkette
White House star photographer Pete Souza is just cold runnin’ around snapping pictures of the snow blanketing Washington today. The shadowy female figure walking through the snow is a terrible ghost. [White House]

Also.
Michelle Malkin lurks by tree before being run down by the jihadi calary.
It looks like the cover to the next Danielle Steele novel, ‘Serving at the Pleasure of the President.’
It sure looks purty from here. Can’t Barry step outside & have his hotness melt the snow?
The seas have stopped rising and winter has returned to the Northern Hemisphere. Thank you President (Sheik) Obama!
The snow is still completely White. This is not Change we can believe in.
Racists.
Is that the little girl from Schindler’s List?
I think that’s the ghost of the late Helen Thomas.
This might be the first time in which Wonkette’s reference to someone “cold” doing something might actually be not only fun, but semantically accurate.
I saw a report that said–with a straight face–that they were expecting 8″ at the White House today. Who da man now, Michele Bachman?
Canadian Rap Star Flavour Flav: Damn it, you beat me to it! It’s her, or David Ganon in drag camo.
magic titty: That’s teeeeeeerible, but win.
No offense but isn’t this considered spring in Buffalo? Granted, here in Austin 4 inches brings the city to a halt as well.
IT’S FRIGGEN MARCH.
However, it did me ample more time to study for my exams this week. Sadly I chose the route to greatness by alternating between sleep & reading wonkette.
WadISay: And if Repubs see it’s shadow, will they all run back into their burrows with their CPAC-7″uc luvers?
Who let Roger Clinton back in the White House?
chascates: Ha! That’s cute. You should see us in Seattle. Half and inch, and they start issuing all kinds of public service announcements not to leave your home.
Last year, it snowed in eastern Washington (state) in, like, May or June or something.
I hope Barry makes another remark about Washington being full of pussies when it comes to snow. My office is directly above the Farragut North Metro station, and about 5 out of 30 employees showed up today. It’s nice and quiet, I’m not complaining. But Washington is full of pussies, no question.
Katherine Harris wandering aimlessly, bumping into trees, snorting the shrubbery, make-up & hair akimbo: “Let me help! I’m here to help!”
OMG the watermelons will die!
DoctorCulturae: “Has anyone seen my lip liner! HOW CAN I MAKE MY MOUTH LOOK LIKE AN ANUS NOW?! *sob!*”
I got 8 inches here in Alabama.
Plus, it snowed alot here, too.
AnnieGetYourFun: It also snowed last year in Seattle in April - or something ridiculous like that. Yes, half an inch of snow in Seattle can guarantee you a 2.5 hour bus commute, packed in like veal and wondering how soon you get to Auschwitz. And if it REALLY snows then just forget everything for awhile because you are going nowhere.
I’v heard there’s yellow snow off the back porch…
Naahh..that’s just Michelle, she walked those girls to school, that’s how they roll in Chicago..
chascates: I’ll agree that this area isn’t really good at dealing with snow, but we had 8″ at my house this morning, people over in MD had a foot or more, and it was 20 degrees with 30 mph winds. The snow was like little icicles Dermabrading your face. Very nice. I grew up in a snowy climate, so know from snow, and this actually qualified as a legit storm.
chascates: And Northern NY, too. It’s funny watching people panic over snow. Sometimes, after a snowstorm, I spin my car on the road just for fun and to keep in practice. There are no snow days up here! There are, however, many days of deep depression.
AnnieGetYourFun: Same here. This was the first accumulating snow we’ve had in over 9 years. We were paralyzed for the day.
chascates: oh, and buses and Metro were running, so lots of people actually are at work (me), so no fun snow day for us.
Fivetree: April I can sort of accept, although I did move to Seattle specifically to not have to deal with snow in April. But any time from May to September is unacceptable to me.
I’d move back to California if the whole place wasn’t totally going to implode. Hell, I’d move to Florida if I didn’t faint at the sight of a cockroach that’s bigger than my shih tzu.
AnnieGetYourFun: Damn, what the hell are you eating? Oh. Sorry. Nevermind.
AnnieGetYourFun: We got 8″ on April-freakin’-20th last year, just west of Seattle in the Olympic foothills.
Still don’t believe it’s a WHITE house, liberals?
AnnieGetYourFun: A little snow is not the problem. It’s the way all the wussies FREAK OUT at the mere mention of the word here. I am originally from the Midwest and I can totally relate to Barry’s incredulousness at the wimpitude of some people in the face of a few inches of snow. That said, we’ve had enough snow here this winter in Seattle and I am done. Let’s just hope that summer shows up sometime BEFORE July this year. The Depression will be a lot easier to take when I don’t have to heat my house.
Fivetree: My favorites are the people who don’t shovel their walk. They think the snow will miraculously evaporate? Un, no, assholes, it packs down and turns into a solid sheet of ice. I am probably a sick human being, but I always liked getting out there and shoveling. Keeps you from going stir crazy. Now I am in a condo, so I just get to sit here an bitch about the non-shovelers.
It’s nice and snow-free here in flyover country. Suck it elitists!
Fox n Fiends: Silly negroes, planting before the seasonal change.
AnnieGetYourFun: I LOVE late-season snow… It gives me the opportunity to tell my staff that “I’m working from home”, then I can have a nice, sunny sit-down breakfast outside on my deck while I buy a lift-ticket and map out traffic for my drive to the uncrowded weekday ski-slopes for a half-day (just long enough, thank you) of wonderful snow, snow snow. When I’m done with the snow, I change back into my regular warm-weather clothes and drive back home just in time to feed my dog, who’s been outside playing & sleeping in the warm sun all day… yeah, I love late-season snow…
ellie: Which lake is that in your icon? It looks very familiar to me…
Doglessliberal: And if they haven’t shoveled their cars out today, they’re going to be mighty surprised to find their transportation locked in a solid block of ice tomorrow morning. Of course those are always the yahoos with the big sheets of ice flipping off their roofs, too. Nothing makes the drive to work exciting like dangerous projectiles.
Doglessliberal: I live in a condo bldg which just means that I, the 60-old-lady, have to shovel the walkways for everyone, while the 20-something men walk in and out, stepping over my toil and labor. I will swat them with my shovel. And yell at them to get off my lawn, also.
HuddledMass: do that!
HuddledMass: and see if you can finagle a ’stipend’ for doing that from the Condo Board!
HuddledMass: Geeze. How rude! I would at least walk around your toil and labor then give you words of encouragement on my way to the strip club.
Fivetree: Totes. Back where I come from (barefoot to school, uphill both ways), 9 inches of snow didn’t mean much. That said, I come from God’s country, where people know how to snowblow a walkway, goddamn it.
The person in the picture is the aged ghost of Condi Rice. She now appears in IKEA commercials and the occasional Stephen Kind movie.
It’s Diogenes, searching for an honest man
Bearbloke: It’s the Maumee River in Toledo.
George Will is sitting in his office, kicking back and starring out the window and thinking: I told those mothers - global warming my stinking ass!
ellie: I thought it was a lake in my SO’s hometown… all those Lib’rul Lakes look the same anyway….
choinski: No, it’s not. It’s Michelle Bat-shit-crazy Bachman looking for all those fake Americans in Congress. And the fake birth certificate, also.
Hm. the photo is beautiful. Go to bed, children.
