Well…I just had to comment on the vp debate that was held last night since it was just so damn much fun to watch ole Ryan get called out on his lies and reveal himself to be the hard right hack that he is…from where I was watching, Biden torched him all night…I could have done with a little less laughing from the VP but I think it was an appropriate response to the talking point lies that Ryan was spewing and I applaud the moderator trying to get him to explain the budget numbers that just don’t add up…I would have laughed and smiled, and rolled my eyes, too, after hearing that nonsense. One of the funniest lines of the night didn’t come from the debate but from Bill Maher’s twitter feed…”someone call 911…there’s an old guy beating up on a kid on tv..” I laughed my butt off about that one…and the fact that 51% of the people in the CBS poll thought Biden won…go get ‘em Joe…

October 12th
Well…it was a pretty good day yesterday with the Tigers finally winning the series against the A’s and Verlander looking good doing it…but, that kept me up late and one too many cocktails have me feeling a little slow this morning….and, it is a grocery run day on the day after not eating enough so that just compounds the problem….but, I guess I’ll just suck it up and get it done…I may have a lunch with T today and that is something to look forward to…more later…
Okay…I’m back while I wait for the car to melt…no lunch with T today and I am a little disappointed but I think I may live through it…I am going to meet up with K later…haven’t seen her in weeks and I can’t wait to see how big she is with the baby due in about a month….it was disappointing to see the neighbor having to scrape the ice off her car today….not ready for that crap yet…
The Republicans are the problem…
Well…I have been thinking about the erosion of faith in public institutions and, listening to and reading the news as much as I do, there is one inescapable conclusion to be drawn…the repubs are the problem. From the obstructionism in the repub controlled house that has not passed a jobs bill in the past two years but have voted to repeal Obamacare over 30 times…to the incessant questioning of statistics that don’t go their way, these folks are undermining the American way of life as much as any terrorist can….and now, today it was announced that there is going to be an investigation in the drop in the unemployment percentage that happened last week since ole Rush and his ilk “know” that the books have to be cooked since the “gut feel” of people like Jack Welch just tells them the number is wrong. How about this: instead of investigations, why don’t the repubs just look at the math and ensure that the methodology of the calculation is the same as it has always been…something I’m sure they will find is true…but no, that would be too easy and you can’t attack the president or get media coverage looking at a math problem…or maybe it is the fact that they don’t believe in math at all…after all, these are the folks that are building a faith based budget that has no basis in reality…and people are buying it…geez…
October 11th
Well…running really late today since the cleaning bug bit early today and I have been trying to get the oven to look like it hasn’t been painted brown…and that takes a toll on the skin since real men don’t use gloves and oven cleaner is really great at removing all the oil and turning hands into leather…and that follows getting the living room done yesterday…I finally have gotten rid of the spiders and cobwebs and dust so I feel good about that…I did skip riding yesterday with it being so cold but today will be different…I do need to work out here in a minute and keep up the progress in the kitchen…and today it will be scrubbing the floor with a scrub brush…so, I should get going…I am a little disappointed that the Tigers lost last night but we have Verlander tonight so it should be a good, one game playoff…more later…
A little more noodling…
Well…I have been cleaning all morning and my living room finally looks like it should and the cobwebs and dust are finally gone…so I thought I’d sit down here for a sec and see if anything comes to me….I find it funny that no one is calling ole Mitt out on the fact that he is pretending to be a moderate now and taking moderate stances on abortion and other issues that are in direct conflict with what he has been saying for the past year…as I’ve said before…this guy just has no core and has raised pandering to a whole new level…finally, I think Obama has figured out what he has to do at the next debate and that is to go after Romney and his lies….okay…not feeling it right now so I’ll come back and do a better one later…
Okay it is later and after reading a little I do have just two short ones to add…ole Mitt is at his callous best again with a talking point stump speech where he is using the death of a Navy Seal that he met once to show his support for the troops…the problem with this speech is that the mother of the Seal has specifically asked ole Mitt to stop using her son for political gain…and, of course, ole Mitt is so tone deaf that he just keeps on using this young man’s death to try to make himself seem more compassionate…what a cruel excuse for a human being….especially from a draft dodger that spent the years of Vietnam on a “mission” to convert people in France, using his dad’s political connections to get two deferments so he didn’t have to live up to his responsibilities to the country…geez….okay, that’s only one…I’ll get to the other one later in a separate post…
October 10th
Well…it was a day yesterday and I won at pool again so that was okay…stayed up late to watch the Tigers lose so I am a little worn out today…so that means no out for coffee…just going to get the papers and then come back here to read them…being out with the top down on the car has left me wind burned and with the allergies in full burn today leaving me miserable this morning…so, I’m going to go get the papers and come back for some caffeine…more later…
Finally some spine…
Well…I hope Obama has learned something from the debate and the result that someone with no regard for the truth can have…if you don’t mind lying all the time, it is easy to make people think you know what you are talking about and to refute what your opponent says. But, some spine seems to be growing in the Obama camp and the new ads that call ole Mitt out as a liar…using the footage from the debate to point out that almost everything Mitt said was a lie…and what he continues to say is just more and more lies culminating in the so-called foreign policy speech where he just copied what Obama has been doing and presenting it as new or different. One more thing we must remember is the fact that the “Arab Spring” was not driven by the US in any way…it was an uprising of the people of those sovereign states and to denigrate those that were lost fighting for their freedom is just more of the tone deafness that Romney shows whenever he talks about foreign policy…the incompetence is must mind boggling…geez…
October 9th
Well…running late today but again, there is no reason for it other than I just can’s seem to get moving too well lately…but, to day needs to be different since I do need to get the fall cleaning done over the next week or so…I did have some dreams last night with Ponzi schemes in them and a couple of the children, too…but that is about it…I did go out for a while last night since it was G’s real birthday and that was fun…I did have to hit the car with some stop leak since the radiator is leaking like it has from the start…if that doesn’t work, I will need to put a radiator in it before winter…it’s only 87 bucks so that’s not too bad….more later…
More Romney nonsense…
Well….I think the transformation of ole Mitt into Obama is complete today with his “major” foreign policy speech where he was going to lay out his “better way” on foreign policy…the only problem with that is he basically just restated Obama’s policies and called them his own and new. When is this country going to wake up to the fact that this guy is just the worst sort of panderer who has no core, no beliefs of his own and start to really listen to what this idiot is saying? First he says tax cuts for the rich and then no tax cuts for the rich…what is he going to do if he is elected? You know it will be all tax cuts, all the time and more wars that the neocons that are running his foreign policy want…especially with Iran. I for one, have had enough of the rehabilitation of the neocons that got us into the two wars the repubs didn’t pay for giving us the ballooning debt we have now… wake up, people…geez…
October 8th
Well….it was another Sunday wasted yesterday but I did get a bunch of stuff done so I guess that’s a plus…had weird dreams where colors had smells but that is all I remember right now….it is going to be a busy day today with going out for coffee for the first time in a few days and getting back on the bike after two days off…..just haven’t been able to get the gloves out yet but it looks like I may have to this week if I want to keep riding….I do need to cook today but I only have chicken thighs thawing and I’m not sure I want to cook them today probably should since I was under a thousand for the day yesterday and I know where that leads….I think the bug is in full retreat but we’ll see later….I will try to do a political one later today but I am so disappointed with the country abandoning Obama for the lies of Romney that I haven’t been able to do it….
