Well…running late again and I just have not been able to get going…it was an okay day yesterday but I got wet coming home…had to stop on the street to put the top up but it was still fun….I think I won at pool but we won’t be going back to csb again…they raised their prices and I just can’t afford it…not much to do today…have to run some errands after coffee but that is about it…feeling kind of low today so I think that will be the theme for the day…Man U is playing this aft so I will have to see that…
One more thing, I was right on the Roy Schmidt debacle from a few months back…a State Police investigator here in Michigan says that both Schmidt and Bolger have conspired to commit perjury in their attempt to defraud the voters here in Michigan….now, I think our AG Schutte should stop chasing non-existent voter fraud and charge these criminals with the felony they deserve…
Well….it was just another day yesterday where not much happened…I did drive the car with the top up today and it is so cool how quiet the car is with the new wheel bearing…it is actually quite pleasant….what a deal for 47 bucks….slept okay last night but no in-head movies and I am disappointed again….I do have something to do today with pool with Tom this aft and, of course, the bike ride in a few minutes and I should have another cup of coffee first but it just doesn’t taste that good today…..I think I will have a bagel and salmon before I get on the bike so I should get going on that…more later….
Well…I promised that I would start talking about other topics other than ole Mitt but he is just such an easy target that I can’t help it…so, I guess I’ll do it again today…read an interesting bit of conjecture in the Post this morning on why ole Mitt won’t release his tax returns and it has nothing to do with whether he paid taxes or not…it is whether he committed felony voting fraud by faking that he was a resident of Massachusetts when he was really living in California at the time…and that would show on the address he used on his returns…if it is a California address (you know…the house with the car elevator) then another repub has committed a felony that he won’t be prosecuted for….I wonder if he’ll go back and retroactively live in MA? Here’s one other funny bit about this whole thing, the address that he was using to be able to vote in MA was the basement of his son’s house…now, you’ve got a guy that is worth 250 million dollars and he is living in his kid’s basement? It just shows you how these folks don’t think that the laws that apply to you and me apply to them….geez…
Well…it was a fun day yesterday with smoking a bunch of fish out at Tom’s and eating a bunch of it…had more of the fish on a bagel with cream cheese this morning and that was just good…but, I do feel a little crappy after cocktails last night and I need to get out on the bike to help get the toxins out….the wheel bearing fix has quieted the car down so much all I hear now is the exhaust…and it was one of the easiest fixes I’ve had on any car….20 minutes from start to finish and I didn’t even get dirty…slept okay but no dreams for the 3rd week in a row and I am starting to get a little concerned…but not too concerned…have enough other stuff to be concerned about….more later…
Well…I’ve been reading a little after smoking the fish and fixing the car and a couple of articles struck me as kind of funny while they exposed the major facet of ole Mitt’s plan…to not tell anyone anything about what his plans are if he is elected…just like ole Walker did in Wisconsin and our gov Snyder did here in Michigan. His campaign staff and ole Mitt even admitted it, going so far as to say they are doing it because if they tell the truth, no one will vote for them. So, let me get this straight…these idiots know that what they plan to do is not what the American people want so the only way they can get elected to give away the country to the rich is to lie and obfuscate about everything and use personal attacks to win at any cost. I cannot believe that the media is not hammering these guys on these tactics…especially since ole Mitt has said that this election should be about policy not personal attacks…what a load of crap….geez…
Well…another day yesterday and there really isn’t much to say about it….didn’t ride the bike with the rain and high winds but I needed a day off anyway so I don’t really feel guilty about it…tried to be good last night with some success so I’ll feel okay to work on the car today….I do need to get the salmon drying after being in the brine for two days so it won’t be wet when it goes in the smoker….so, I better get at it so I can get out to coffee…more later…
Well…it has been another day of not doing much but I have been thinking about a few things so I thought I’d get them down and see if they make any sense…first, I laughed my butt off when ole Rick Santorum was touring, supposedly to support Romney, and went off about Obama gutting the first amendment since he wants Catholic organizations to cover birth control…what an old attack line and I don’t know where this is going to get them…so, if the Catholics or any other religious organization want to discriminate for any reason, it would be okay according to ole Rick….so if they didn’t want to hire minorities, they would be protected? Just more nonsense from the right and their idea that there should be allowed priveleged classes that the law doesn’t apply to…I think it’s even what their whole party is based on…
Oh, I guess I should get to the title…with the Ryan selection and the fact that the polls continue to show that ole Mitt is losing ground, it looks like ole Paul’s radicalism is only serving to fire up the base….and those folks were never going to vote for Obama anyway….and now we have McCain coming out attacking Joe Biden for being Joe…it appears that these folks are flailing around trying to find anything that will work….and the tone deaf Romney campaign is trotting ole Mitt’s wife back out to defend not releasing any more tax returns…but even funnier is the fact that Mitt is proud of the fact that he paid 13% in taxes and thinks it is just fine that he takes advantage of laws that were bought by people like him so they don’t have to pay their fair share…what a bunch of idiots…geez…
Well… running late again today and I think I’ve figured it out…it’s the new phone…since I can get everything from the internet on it, I never even fire the computer up much anymore…but, I’ll try to do better…it was a normal day yesterday and I did get some small things done…I did get the salmon in the brines for Friday and I may have done a little too much with using both of them…but, has anyone ever complained they have too much smoked salmon? It can be frozen so that will take care of it…I do also have to do a small grocery run today and since Tom bought some Win Schulers, I have to have some too…more later…
Well…I have been sitting here thinking about what to write about today and nothing has really jumped out at me so I’ll just noodle around a little and see what happens….I find it funny that ole Mitt is crying foul about some of the attack ads run by Obama so far in this election cycle….this from a party that has spent the last 4 years sabotaging him at every juncture? Whose primary purpose stated by their leaders is not to help the country get moving again, it’s not to help pass a farm or jobs bill, but it is to make sure that Obama fails by any means necessary. When you look at the actual work product that this congress has completed, it is the worst of any congress in history…they did have time to try to repeal the ACA 33 times, but nothing else other than the nonsense of protecting the rich and and corporations from paying their fair share….so, when you hear ole Mitt complaining about the negative ads, take the whole thing with a grain of salt, after all, the repubs started it…geez….
Well…it looks like I missed the life update yesterday and I can’t figure out how…so, I’ll have to do two of them today…it was a pretty good day yesterday…I won at pool but was not good when I got home so I am running late and feeling crappy today…Brian, who works here, just dropped of a bunch more salmon and his recipes for the brines you need for smoking…it will be fun to do that Friday when I replace the wheel bearing out at Tom’s….okay, need to get going and take a shower so I’ll stop here….more later….
