Well…it was an okay day for me yesterday..but not for the country…how does a cop get to murder an unarmed man and then get to walk away scott free? Have to just try to put that aside and be peaceful today…had a nice lunch with T yesterday and that made for a nice day…didn’t sleep at all last night and have been up since 4:30 so there will be a nap later in the day…have to do the grocery run today so I don’t have to be in the stores wed….at least the Wings won last night and played well until the last 10 minutes of the game….I am still a little sore from sat night but that is working out…may even be able to get on the bike today but with the rain and snow from yesterday, the trails may be icy…at least we didn’t get the 5 inches of snow they predicted…not much to do today…just the grocery run and a couple of errands so it looks low key…more later….

Ferguson watch…
Well…this is kind of a placeholder in anticipation of the announcement of the grand jury findings in the Ferguson case tonight at 8pm. I have the sinking feeling that there is another whitewash that is going to happen but I hope to be proven wrong this time…how do you not get charged with something when you chase an unarmed man 140 feet from your cop car and then shoot him to death? I will try to come back for comments later tonight or early in the morning….
Well..I was right…no charges for a murder of an unarmed man…I guess it’s open season for cops now…they now know they can shoot anyone they want without any consequences…what the hell has happened to this country?
Zombie Benghazi…
Well…how many damn time do you have to kill the Benghazi nonsense before it stays dead? This week, for a fifth time, a commission found that there was no wrongdoing at all in the Benghazi affair…and this should shut the repubs up for a final time but the damn issue is just like zombie…it just won’t stay dead. Just hours after this report was released you had ole Lindsay Graham spouting off that ‘this report is crap” and vowing to rebut every point that agreed with every other report….this is what you get when the right thinks it can create it’s own facts…even when presented with the truth from many sources, if it doesn’t agree with their political spin they can’t believe it or won’t believe it…and will continue to spend yours and my tax dollars to continue with their fantasy “investigation” until…cripes I don’t know where the until even is…what can make delusional people abandon their delusion? Not sure…but, I hope it happens soon…geez…
November 24th
Well…it was an okay day yesterday and I made a little cash so that was cool…but, the effects of the volunteering lasted most of the day so I didn’t get anything done….slept okay last night since I didn’t sleep Sat night but still no dreams…oh, well…just can’t believe that it has been raining since yesterday afternoon…it will be a good thing that all of th snow will be gone but it is supposed to snow again over the next few days so still no bike…but, I may be able to get back out later in the week..can’t wait….not much to do today…going to have lunch with T but that is about it…want to clean the kitchen before cooking on thurs but if I don’t get it done, there is always Friday…more later….
Jeb now?
Well…do we really have to entertain that there will be another Bush running for president? It just makes my skin crawl after the debacle of ole GW that the repubs don’t have anyone else who is more qualified that another Bush…and ole Jeb is portraying himself as a “self-made man” when he has used the same family connections the GW used to tout his qualifications when it is well known that neither of these guys has done anything on their own…in fact, most of the businesses that ole Jeb has been involved with have ended up being seized by the government and many of the execs have gone to jail just as ole Jeb has bailed out of them….I wonder why he has been able to get away scott free from all of the messes he has left behind? Can you say connections? Just don’t even want to think about the wreck this country would be after another Bush craps all over it…geez…
November 23rd
Well…it was an okay day yesterday but I am sore today..it was fun doing the volunteer work last night but standing for 5 hours is new to my muscles but the comfy shoes made a difference…and my voice is shot after doing some selling…didn’t sleep much and I feel it this morning, too, and I am looking forward to a relaxing day with only one thing to do…watching the F1 race right now so this one is going to be short…more later…
Okay..it’s late in the day and I’m back to do a few more sentences and maybe another one..it has been a long day…still tired from yesterday and not sleeping much and having to go out and run a few errands today…I did get the top down for a few miles during the errands and that was cool…and it is nice that it is raining pretty hard so the snow will be off the trails and I may be able to ride tomorrow…okay, that’s it…
Still delusional…
Well…with the things that have happened this week in politics, I thought I’d just remind everyone here just how delusional the repubs have become…let’s start with the lawsuit agianst Obama for delaying the employer mandate in Obamacare…something his administration had every right to do…and the delusional thing is that ole GW did the same thing with Medicare Part D when that was just being implemented…didn’t see any lawsuits or bitching from the repubs then…or any from the dems either since we understand that you have to change things on the fly sometimes…and the next delusion is the fact that what Obama is doing on immigration is not the unconstitutional/unlawful outrage that the delusional repubs are screaming about…in fact, every president since Eisenhower have done exactly the same thing….something like 49 times presidents have used their correct power to do something on immigration where the congress has neglected it duty to “pass something” as Obama said last week….I wonder when the adult repubs will step up and stop being delusional? Oh, that’s right, there are no adults left over there…geez…
November 22nd
Well…it was an okay day yesterday and I won at pool so that was cool…but it was a long day with going out to have a couple with G after pool so I am a little worn out today…slept crappy again…and again…oh, well…didn’t get anything done yesterday and today looks like the same since I have to be down at the Van Andel around 5 to help T out with some volunteer work…that is going to make this a long day so I guess I’ll take a nap this aft….it is raining outside right now and the roads were a little slick going out to Meijers but with it warming up, it should be just rain in a little while…T is out at the
Santa parade with her work and I think I’ll take a look at that on tv and see if I can see her…not much to do today..going to just watch sports and relax…and try to get another one of these out…more later….
November 21st
Well…it was an okay day yesterday but I didn’t do much with all of the snow….slept okay last night but a little fitfully but that is normal so I’m not going to complain….didn’t get up too early today so maybe there will be no need for a nap today….I do need to get some cleaning done to compliment the kitchen floor work but, with it being pool day, I’m not sure how much I’ll do..did have a funny thing happen to me this morning….my next door neighbor knocked on my door and invited me to her in-laws for Thanksgiving if I had no place to go…that was pretty nice of her….but, as you know, I do a turkey every t-day and I am looking forward to making it and watching football…T asked me to help volunteer at the Griffins game tomorrow night for the Salvation Army since she couldn’t get enough people to do it….so I am going to be working there at 5 until the end of the game…even going to be bell ringing at the end of it as the people file out….might be fun…and it’s for a good cause…more later…
Tom Coburn is a terrorist….
Well…I thought I’d seen it all but I guess not…with the battle over immigration policy raging in DC and the do nothing repubs frothing at the mouth that Obama is going to do their jobs for them, the latest from the senator from crazy, Tom Coburn goes way over the top to overt incitement to terrorism. Today, ole Tom came out and said that “they’re going to go nuts (talking about his supporters)…you could see instances of anarchy…you could see violence” tacitly approving that these are tactics that are perfectly appropriate as a response to a political dispute…one of the repubs own making. If I was more of a conspiracy theorist, I might think that this has been the plan all along…to gin up some reason to get his crazy assed followers to use their “second amendment remedies” to destroy what this country is all about…that political disputes are to be solved peacefully; that the transfer of power after elections is done peacefully without the crap that these folks are pushing…since they hate the fact that government needs to work to make a country work….they are doing everything in their power to ensure that it won’t work and then when their inflammatory rhetoric results in violence, they will stand back and say “see, I told you Obama is going too far” and the people agree with us…no matter that they won this last election with 19% of the vote of the people. It just like the gangster from the movies that says “gee, nice country you got there…it would be a shame if anything happens to it…” Inciting people to violence for political ends is the definition of terrorism…you should be ashamed Coburn…geez…
