Well…it was a long night last night with going out to watch the Wings…but, they won so I guess that makes it okay…can’t justify going out again, though, and spending 15 bucks so the next one will be on the internet radio for me….just have to get my imagination revved up again…slept okay but I was up at 4 and tossed all night….so, I feel run down this morning….I may have to work on the car today…just getting annoyed about the clutch so I may just replace the master cylinder and be done with it…or do the brakes, not sure which…not much to do today…I do need to clean the bathroom and get a few other things done and I am going to try today….more later…

The war on women is still on in Virginia…
Well…I thought I’d heard it all from Virgina with the attacks on womens rights coming fast and furious with mandated vaginal ultrasounds, personhood for embryos…and the rest of the right wing hooey…but, they are still at it…with the nominee for AG there being the author of a bill that would require any woman that has a miscarriage to report it to police within 24 hours and then put her grief aside and be interviewed by police so they can file a report on it…if she doesn’t, she faces a year in jail and 2500 dollar fine…I am just speechless how mean these repub bastards are and how little respect they have for a woman that has just gone through this terrible thing….not much else to say….geez….
Impeach, impeach, impeach…
Well…if you were unsure yet that the repubs in the house are stupid, ignorant, know-nothings…you just have to listen to the bleating that is coming from them on all of the “scandals” that have arisen in the past few months and now, they have started to talk impeachment of Obama for “high crimes and misdemeanors”…but not one of them know what the hell that phrase even means let alone that no impeachable offenses even happened. One of the leaders of the impeachment crazy chorus is the really, really stupid Jason Chaffetz who came out, with a straight face even, and said that because he thinks that Obama lied about Benghazi, it is an impeachable offense…oh, really? When it is clear that no one lied, conspired or did anything else wrong other than the repubs cutting the budget for diplomatic security? If lying to the American people is an impeachable offense, where the hell were the impeachment chorus when Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld and the rest lied us into a war and cost over 4,000 American lives? I really do hope they keep going down this path since every time they open their mouths their stupidity is further revealed and they lose more and more support from the independents they need to win elections…I have resigned myself to the next two years of nothing but this crap…but then we take back the house and these crying babies can go to hell….can’t come too soon…geez…
May 20th
Well…running late again today and I think it’s just that I can’t get motivated…I did have to go over to Meijers this morning since I was out of everything and I made a little cash over the weekend…slept okay last night and had that weird Aquinas dream again where I couldn’t find my classes…that happens about once a month and I still don’t know what it is all about…had to turn the air on last night for about an hour to get the humidity out of the air to sleep…not much to do today…have to get the workout in and ride the bike so I need to get at it before it rains…more later…
Ignorance, certainty, and meanness…
Well….the only thing I’ve been doing today is thinking…and reading some too, and one of the things that popped into my head was the three words that describe the modern repubs…ignorance, certainty, and meanness….if you just listen to these folks for one minute (I know that’s hard), you will hear their ignorance all day, every day…ignorance in economics, ignorance in science, ignorance in biology…hell, ignorance in everything and they are damn proud of it….one example of their certainty is on global warming where 97% of all science done over the past 20 years confirms that we are changing our planet by burning fossil fuels….but, you still have the repubs all saying that they are certain that climate change is a “UN sponsored fraud” and that all of the studies that say the climate is changing are done by liberal tree huggers….then, there is the meanness for no reason…the latest budget that Paul Ryan is proposing cuts off food stamps for 20 million Americans I guess since eating is a character flaw that the poor need to be taught is their fault….and these thugs are still using the fake study by Rogoff to justify cutting programs that keep people alive…even though the deficit is projected to be over 200 billion less than initially projected….just plain meanness and that is all it is….geez…
May 19th
Well…another long day and a bad night of sleep and it is getting really old….I am a little worn out today but I do have a bunch of cleaning to get done so there will be much coffee and then dragging myself to get some some stuff done…I do need to get a ride in, too, but I want to watch the Australian supercars race here for the first time at 9 so the ride will have to wait…and Man U plays their last game of the season this aft so that will be the background noise for a nap later….no cooking today since I have leftovers that need to be used so it is shaping up to be a boring day…more later…
May 18th
Well…I’m doing this one again…after I posted the last one, this one disappeared…it was an okay day yesterday…I did win at pool but like crap all day…and I am hoping it is a bug and not something serious…slept okay last night but was up really early so that is going to make for another long day…I think the clutch master cylinder is going in the car…the pedal keeps changing and it is getting really annoying so I may have some repairs to do later in the week….okay…that’s enough for now…need to watch the Wings…
The right has gone completely frickin crazy…
Well…as I was reading some of the online stuff today, I came across the latest bout of outrage aimed at Obama from the right and I am just shaking my head at this one…as a little background, Obama was doing a presser with the head of Turkey the other day in the Rose Garden, and due to poor planning, it started to rain while Obama was making his remarks and one of the marine detail held an umbrella over him….well…the idiots on the right exploded calling it another reason to impeach Obama…Marines are never allowed to do that…he picked a white Marine since he is a racist…that Obama can’t order a Marine to do that…and many, many more asinine statements that just show they plain just hate the guy and no matter what he does, it is wrong. No matter that every president since FDR had Marines doing that for them and there are even photos of Reagan and both Bushes having an umbrella held for them….these folks on the right have just gone over the edge with this one…maybe this will be the one that makes the rest of the US understand that these folks are crazy…sure hope so….geez…
The real Benghazi scandal…
Well….with all of the repub outrage over Benghazi when there was never really any there there…we now have a real scandal but it is one that can be pinned on the repubs…late last week, ABC news reported on the “smoking gun” e-mails that were supposed to show that there was some sort of coverup by the WH..of what, no one is really sure, and the funny thing is that this was before the e-mails were released by the WH…so this means that some member of Congress must have given them to ABC…and the even worse thing is that the e-mails were doctored by someone (read repubs) to make it appear that there was a coverup…so, what we have is that these thugs are using the deaths of four Americans for pure partisan reasons and when the facts don’t support their narrative, they just lie and continue on as if their lies are the truth….now here is a real scandal that ole Issa should be investigation…oh, wait, that will never happen…the repubs don’t want the truth they just want the black guy gone….geez…
May 17th
Well…running late today and I think it’s because the malaise that has settled here is still here this morning…hard to get motivated to do anything, really….slept okay last night for the first time in a week but I know it was from the cocktails so I can’t really judge if it will be a pattern or not….but, I do feel crappy today and I’m not sure if the trade-off is worth it….I have been trying to eat enough but it has been harder than expected…I think I’ll have a bagel before the bike ride to try to see if the dead legs were from the lack of fuel…that said, I think I’ll go make one and have more coffee….more later…
