Well…I find the contortions that ole Mitt is doing to try to make himself palatable to the general public really laughable…or, I would if the shape-shifting wasn’t such a dangerous thing….what message does it send to the world and the bad actors in it on foreign policy? If they just wait long enough, that a new policy that they will like is tried? This kind of crap just emphasizes the cynicism that runs rampant through today’s modern repub party…that even the tea partiers and their rigidity on their supposed “American Values” don’t have one word to say when ole Mitt abandons the party’s principles and platform to try to get votes…these supposed values must not mean too much to them…at least not as much as power does, the power to imposed their views on the entire country when all the polls show we don’t want what they are selling. The lack of any core values combined with the embracing of public lying is the biggest threat to this country that we face…geez…

October 25th
well…running really, really late today since I just remembered that I didn’t do one of these yet today…it’s been a busy morning with getting a haircut and the normal exercise and I think I’m taking the car out for another drive today since it looks like the last good day….it was an okay day yesterday but the Tigers stunk and I think I’m done watching them for now…I did get a drive in yesterday, too and found out where Kalamazoo Ave. ends….okay…I need to read the news since I skipped coffee and the papers today…back for more after the drive…
Another inconvenient fact for the Republicans…
Well…with the new attack on Obama on the oil lease nonsense, they are again lying through their teeth as I explained a couple of days ago, but the new, inconvenient fact that the repubs don’t want to talk about is the trend in domestic oil and gas production. Over the past four years (you remember those years of the over regulatin’, socialist president) oil and gas production in the US has soared and is on pace to rise another 7% this year…if these trends continue, the US will be the largest producer of oil in the world in just a couple of years…surpassing even Saudi Arabia. So, either the regulations didn’t have any effect on rising production or they actually spurred more oil and gas production…either one just blows apart another lie by the repubs…maybe the truth will win…at least it looks like it has gotten up off the canvas and is ready to go a couple more rounds…
Let’s climb down from the ledge….
Well…there has been much consternation from the good guys that Obama has not been able to pull away in the polls with Romney being exposed for the shallow idiot that he is…and plenty of us have been on the ledge, ready to jump…but there was a good article that just came across Twitter from the WAPO today that does the right math, the electoral math, not the popular vote math the repubs are pushing. In the popular vote, ole Mitt has been crowing that all he needs to win is 50.1% of the vote to become president, again exposing that he is just not too bright…when we look at the electoral math and map… even with being tied, Obama has almost 240 votes that are essentially locked in of the 270 needed for election while ole Mitt has around 190…of the 110 left, Obama only needs to win 30 more but ole Mitt needs around 80 to get the job done…basically, he would have to run the table and take all of the remaining votes, something that does not look possible with the leads that Obama has in many of those states. So, climb down from the ledges folks, it still looks good for the good guys and with today’s new rape controversy sparked by another stupid repub…it will look even better tomorrow…especially since ole Mitt just did and ad for this idiot. Geez…
October 24th
Well…I am having a heck of a time getting going today…as you can see…but, I do need to run one errand today so I can watch the World Series tonight with a cocktail…and a snack…so that means a run to Meijers this morning and I need to get to it…so, I will…and then come back in a few minutes for more of this…
Okay…got the coffee and papers done so I’m back for a few…it was an okay day yesterday and I got to put the top down on the car again…just like I did on the run to Meijers…I did lose at pool for the 4th time in a row and that is starting to concern me….no, not really….no dreams to speak of but I think I slept okay…getting pretty geeked up about the World Series starting tonight but it is causing me a little stress…not sure I like it when the Tigers are the favorites…just more disappointing if they lose and especially if Verlander loses…but, I need to get to the workout and bike ride so I need to get moving…more later…maybe…
No contest…
Well…even though I was out for quite a while last night, I did get the chance to watch a good portion of the debate last night…I wonder if I should even call it a debate? I mean, Obama just mopped the floor with ole Mitt and exposed him for the know nothing hack politician that he is. I am glad that Obama finally pointed out to the public how ole Mitt’s stands change form day to day, not a good thing for a president, especially in a dangerous world…can you imagine ole Mitt going up against any of the bad guys in the world? After watching the gerbil on meth look he had again last night with the smirks, the blank stare, and the excessive eye blinking, it looked like he was having a stroke as he tried to regurgitate the standard talking point nonsense. The most striking thing for me was the fact that he agreed with almost everything that Obama has been doing in foreign policy…so why should anyone vote for ole Mitt? I just think there is no depth there….geez,,,
October 23rd
Well…it was a long night last night and I feel a little crappy for it…but I think I slept okay so that is something…it was fun to go out and hang with G for a while and I think the stop leak may be working on the car…I’ll have to check it again this morning but it looks promising…I hurt everywhere for some reason so I need to go take some ibuprofen to see if that will help…I will comment on the debate and other political stuff later today but right now I need more water and couch before I go to Meijers for the second day in a row…
I think my brain has stopped working…
Well…I’m not sure what the heck the problem is with me lately, but I have been having real problems getting to these and having something to say…but, I have been blocked before and I’m sure I will be again…so, let’s go…I just love the word mendacity and I have been getting to use it a lot lately when I have been describing the repubs and their actions…from voter suppression to just bald faced lies in the debates across the country, I have never seen a party that is so far distanced from the truth…the latest example comes from the senate debate in Montana where the repub candidate denied vehemently that he voted to turn Medicare into a voucher program….the only problem was that he did…and it was in the congressional record…but with these guys, it just doesn’t matter, they just move on and their supporters don’t seem to mind they are being lied to….maybe it’s just not my brain that has stopped working…maybe everyone’s has…geez…
October 22nd
Well…I didn’t come back for a second one yesterday, as you can see, and there is no excuse other than I just forgot…the election fatigue has something to do with it, too, but the biggest factor is being broke and the resultant depression that comes with it…but, I do need to keep moving forward so I’ll try that today…almost gassed myself yesterday when I was cleaning the grout in my shower with a bleach cleaner…had to dive out of the bathroom to be able to breathe and the effects linger today…just not too bright but the shower is clean and that makes me smile a little…not much to do today..I do need to get to working out and riding the bike so I’ll end here and get to it…more later…
October 21st
Well…it’s Sunday and I have been taking it easy so I’m late getting here today…it was an okay day yesterday with Michigan finally getting a win against State but I don’t really remember much else about the day…that’s what happens when all of the days run together in boredom…now, I’m just waiting for the temp to get near 50 so I can get out on the bike and get a long ride in…not sure what the rest of the day will bring with no football to watch but maybe that will get me moving on cleaning some…more later…
