Well…another Thursday yesterday and it looked a lot like the rest of them…not a lot to do and I didn’t do a lot….kind of boring, I know, but that is a lot like life right now…no dreams or anything last night and I’m a little irritated since that has become a welcomed diversion at night…okay, not feeling it right now…..I’m going to go get a glass of ice water and think for a while…I do have the placeholder to complete but that won’t be until later today…or this morning…not sure which…

Eric Cantor is still an idiot…
Okay, sorry folks ….this one is a placeholder for one to come tomorrow about Eric Cantor and his abandonment of his constituents with the refusal to take earthquake relief unless the dems cut social security…this will be a good one….
Well…this might not be as long a one as I first thought…I hope you remember the idiot statements that Eric Cantor made after the deadly tornado outbreaks that devastated Joplin Missouri…he was adamant that he would not vote for any disaster relief unless there was the same dollar amount cut from other areas of the budget…ignoring the misery of the American people to push his far right, misguided economic policies. Well…ole Eric is at it again…yesterday he vowed to not approve any disaster relief for his own district for damage from the earthquake or that to come from hurricane Irene unless the budget is cut the same amount as needed to relieve the suffering of those struck by these natural disasters. He has no problem cutting taxes for the rich and corporations no matter what the effect on the budget but he shows his true colors as a wholly owned subsidiary of big business and the rich by these actions.
Eric Cantor is a truly evil, evil, person….geez….
Still no big topic…
Well…I am still trying to find a big topic for today but until then, I think I’ll just do some short ones again….I find it funny that Rick Perry is now the repub frontrunner…it makes me think of a pack of dogs that are shown a new ball and immediately drop the old one to play with the new one…I think they are easily distracted by shiny new objects and, for some reason, that Texas tough-guy nonsense resonates with the righties. As they say in Texas…”that boy is all hat and no cattle”…hmmmmm….what else….I wonder when the repubs are going to blame hurricane Irene on Obama? I wonder when Obama is going to start being a democrat again? I wonder when George Will is going to get a brain? He asserts that because the dems didn’t take back the senate in Wisconsin, that liberals are going to constantly be defeated….George, do you know that Ohio exists? There, the liberals that you hate so much have put the Kasich nonsense about union stripping on the ballot for the voters to decide on…and the polling shows that over 60% of the population there want the repub ideas repealed….and Kasich is now trying to negotiate to keep this measure off the ballot. So, no matter what ole George says…we are coming back in 2012 and might just make the repubs a permanent minority…we can all hope…
One last thing…Greg Sargent at the Washington Post took ole George to task for the outright lies that are in his column today….the only way that the Wisconsin repubs got elected was that they concealed what they were going to do….if they would have campaigned on their union busting attack on the middle class, there is no way they would have been elected…and that is the truth George…
August 25th
Well….it was an easy day yesterday but I did get some errands run…and there were weird dreams again last night that may turn into a new novel….yep, they were that detailed and I think it is a good story with radiation, breakdown of society, and death….might have to start writing on that one today…it will give me something to do to break up the looking for work. I was really good, too, so I have the energy to do the groceries today and maybe even take the bike over and wash it….who knows? I would say not much to do today but it’s out of synch with where I am in this thing so I won’t…I will say that I will get to a political one today…or maybe not…I still have to tell you about the 65 Galaxie and the 4 Volkswagens…but that is a story for later today…so come on back..more later…
Musings again…
Well…I’ve been noticing a trend lately where I do a column here and the read almost the exact same thing in one of the major newspapers….I wonder if I’m just getting obvious or if it is some kind weird time travel paradox…not sure which yet…so, today is going to just be rambling around a little since I don’t really have a topic yet…I do question the intelligence of Americans when I see the latest polls have Obama and the repubs basically tied…tied with the idiots that promise to dismantle what is left of the safety net for the middle class? Tied with the idiots that thought that defaulting on our debt was a good thing? Tied with the idiots that are selling the soul of America and want us to go back to the days of the robber barons? Yep…if the US votes for this nonsense, I guess we will all get what we deserve….but not me….I was cured of my republicanism when the party went nuts on social issues….and embraced the voodoo economics that are based on faith, not facts….geez….
August 24th
Well….feel pretty crappy today so this one is going to be short…I’ll be back later to add to it but right now I am in need of ice water and the couch….
Okay, went out for coffee and the papers and feel a little better….but not that much better…I had an okay day yesterday but didn’t do much…have just been in a malaise for the past few days and nothing has interested me so I’ve just been going with it and existing instead of living…but that should end here in a couple of days and I’ll get on with it….not much to do today…I should go out for groceries since I don’t really have any food but I think I can make do with a couple of chicken legs…don’t need to eat much anyway…maybe I’ll make tomorrow errand day since it is kind of gloomy today…more later….
A couple of little ones…
Well….I think I’ll give ole Rick a rest for the day and just muse about a few things…first, can the repubs get any more blatant about their disdain for working people? They pledge to fight to the death to continue tax breaks for the rich and business but when it comes to the extension of the payroll tax cut for workers, they have pledged to fight it’s extension….just more evidence that they have no idea how the economy works…workers will spend that money while the rich will just bid up the prices of luxury items like paintings, Maseratis, etc. and other non-productive uses…when do we get back to the America where we think big and do big things? I was heartened to hear Warren Buffet come out and say that he knows that the super rich like him are undertaxed and he can’t understand why the repubs are lined up one and all to give him more breaks….we all know why they do it…the repubs have been bought by these people and that’s what money does…it distorts the political process and puts people into office that know they can ignore the people that vote for them and continue to steal the rest of the country for their owners….okay, that’s enough for now….I may be back later if something grabs me….
August 23rd
Well…a day yesterday that started out kind of boring but then I went out to have a couple with G and that broke the day up quite well…I did watch a movie that was kind of cool….but odd…”Sucker Punch” and just finished it up a few minutes ago….I wasn’t good last night and feel a little slow today but I am going to ride to the coffee shop….wait, have to check the temp…it’s only 57 but it’s not raining so I think I will ride the bike….not much to do today….might go and have a new muffler put on the car but probably not….think I’ll just kind of veg out today and send resumes….
Back to the idiot Rick Perry…
Well….have a couple of things that I want to talk about and, as I said, Rick Perry is going to be fun…first, I still marvel at the way the repubs keep chanting “get government out of the way”, but in Texas, over 500 million dollars of “government money” has been handed out to Perry’s cronies that are his biggest campaign contributors; a “pay for play system” that says that if you are not ready to give millions to Perry’s political campaign, stay out of Texas because you won’t get any government contracts. Politicians used to go to jail for that kind of stuff and now it is held up as a miracle? Now, we have the idiot stand up and calling Obama the greatest job killer in the history of the country….never bothering to do the math that more jobs were lost in the last year of ole GW’s term than there has been in Obama’s term…so how are you going to blame that on Obama? That companies were cutting jobs in anticipation of Obama getting elected? Just more nonsense from another Texan who was born on third base and thinks he hit a triple….geez….
August 22nd
Well….a pretty lazy day yesterday and I was good all day so I feel okay this morning…not much in the way of sleep, though, and no dreams of course, so nothing to report there. I was going to do a political one yesterday but the inertia of a lazy Sunday got the best of me and all I did was watch races and cook…it was good to not think about what is going on in the world but the events in Libya grabbed me later in the day and I broke down and watched a little news…..but only on the Libya story…nothing else. Not much to do today….I do need to go over to Target a look at a new printer…they have a Canon all in one for 33 bucks and with the little I print, it should last a couple of years….the ink is about 40 bucks, though….so that will be my big day…more later…
