Spin Sharks and south swell have more than S in common - they put together a great lineup. The only thing they have in common with spin is the S. Wednesday saw a fading south swell hit sharks, good enough for overhead sets. Surf was great, and still had enough power to stretch my cord across the rail of my plastic fantastic board for a slash in my rail. At the time, the buoy read 5 feet at 14 seconds from 290 and 2.6 feet at 14 seconds from 200. Thursday the juice was winding down, but there were still some fun ones before the storm pattern set up. It's been victory at sea since then - along with the surf contest takeover of the hook. Now about the $ in spin. It was interesting to hear the fedicrats have spent $254 million on providing news spin to the TV masses. I'm not sure where I was, I haven't seen a thing, but apparently they're out there spinning on the ether. What have they been reporting on? The benefits of war? The needlessness of funding education? The promises of a nuclear arms race? So many topics and so little funding. How about getting rid of the filibuster. It seems after approving nearly 200 of W's judicial nominations, those feisty Dems are trying to waylay appointment of 10. According to the Dems, 10 of the most far-right (read as fright). Guys who think we can justify torture, keep prisoners without due process, and cherish security over liberty. By talking until the next glacial age, the Demos are trying to wield their minority power to thwart a majority vote approving the fright-10. Not to worry. The we-are-right-icans are trying to push new legislation to undermine the filibuster. That's right - if it doesn't work for you, change the rules. The we-are-right-icans are changing lots of rules - like the rules regarding representatives under criminal investigation. See Tom De-lay-them down. Spin this -
