Scott Walker is still an idiot…

Well…I know, this is like shooting fish in a barrel but I just have to do it after ole Scotty’s latest bit of genius…in case you haven’t heard, ole Scotty was trying to burnish his immigration credentials the other day and came up with just the greatest comment…he thinks that we should consider building a wall on our border with Canada…yep, a 5,500 mile wall with our northern neighbor to do what? Keep out the Canadians? Why the hell would they want to come here? Especially into Wisconsin? I am, as always, amazed at how stupid this guy is…and we’ve all seen that he can’t answer any question on the fly…and the only reason he got re-elected is that the Wisconsin media is in the tank for the repubs there and the Koch’s wallets were wide open…it is good to see that the latest polls in Iowa show him with only 8% of the votes there…I think once he gets the national media attention that is coming, he is going to implode just like sister Sarah…where do the repubs find so many dumb people to run? In my day, this guy would have been a dog catcher at best…what a maroon….geez…

August 31st

Well…it was an okay day yesterday and I finally got a bunch of stuff done that needed to be done…and today looks much the same with errands and lots of work around here…will probably have to wait until the aft for the bike ride since some of the things I have to do are time sensitive…slept okay last night and I’m really not too sore this morning so that is something…Man U is disappointing me again with another loss and I may have to pick a new team to follow…really ruined my day when they lost yesterday….I guess I’ll just have to get over it….not much to do today…no, that’s not true…will be going full speed starting in about an hour so I need to get the coffee down to fuel that….more later…

August 30th

Well…it was an okay day yesterday and I made some cash so that was cool…not sure how I slept but I feel tired this morning so it must not have been that good…and, I feel a little crappy this morning but I know why that is…didn’t get a lot done yesterday but I did get a pork shoulder cooked that came out pretty good after brining it overnight…pork usually turns kind of rubbery after brining but this one was really tender….so, I’ll have leftovers for most of the week even though I only cooked half of it….skipped the bike ride yesterday since it rained most of the day and that was good for the legs…they don’t hurt today and it will be interesting to see how they fare on the ride this morning…need to get out soon since Man U is playing at 11 and I want to see if they can continue like they played in Brugge…more later…

Dick Cheney is still an idiot…and wrong, as always..

Well…ole Dick has crawled out from under his rock to put his two cents in on the Iran agreement…and, as you already know whenever he opens his mouth, he is wrong….he starts off his screed by saying that Obama is lying to the world about the agreement and it will guarantee that Iran will have the bomb like next week and will use it as soon as they get it for the first time since Hiroshima…yadda yadda….is anyone else tired of this idiot still being listened to? After all, he was wrong about everything in the middle east for 8 frickin years and lied his ass off to get us into the war that will end up costing 6 trillion dollars…so why would anyone that is not under Obama derangement syndrome believe him now?  I guess the superman Obama is using his mind control over the negotiators in Russia, Germany, China, and the rest of the people in the agreement to make sure they don’t see his lies and his plans to hand over all of our nuclear weapons to Iran…and, after that, he is going to give the keys to the White House to Iran, too, as he implements the secret Muslim plans he has been working on since he was born. That is just how ridiculous ole Dick is…go climb back under your rock, Dick…and be thankful you’re not under arrest in the Hague…geez…

Nothing stupid so far this weekend…

Well…as you know, I depend on people doing and saying stupid things for many of my topics here but there hasn’t been anything to write about today…the candidates seem to have gone into hiding or they’re out talking to people in their bubble without coverage…so, where does that leave me? Nowhere, it seems…..oh, there is that idiot county clerk in Tennessee who is still refusing to grant marriage licenses to gay couples…even though 3 court cases have gone against her…she now is appealing to the supreme court to allow her to use here religion to discriminate against gays under the guise of “religious freedom”…when will these asses understand that you can’t just shout “religion” and then have a license to treat people badly…saw a show the other day that really showed how this didn’t work back when integration of the schools was happening and it won’t work now…just quit the job you idiot…one good thing is that they have started to work on filing misconduct charges against her and then will remove here from office…I hope the couples she refused will sue her broke for damages…geez…

August 29th

Well…it was an okay day yesterday but I lost at pool…put an 8 in on the break so that made it a little better…slept okay but no dreams again..and that is getting redundant…..it looks like I may be able to take the day off from riding today since it is raining and looks like that will continue for a while…I can probably use a day off even though I’m not too sore today…hoping that the guilt won’t drive me to going out later but if the sun shines, I may just take a leisure ride…but, I feel a little slow today and may just sit on the couch and drink my coffee….not too much to do today…I have a pork shoulder in the oven right now at high temp to brown it and then I’m going to cook it low and slow the rest of the way…just trying some new stuff to see how it comes out….more later….

August 28th

Well…it was an okay day yesterday but still didn’t get anything done…well…I did get a few things done around here that were necessary but not enough….oh, well…crappy, crappy, night of sleep, too, so I’m a little worn out today…and the cramps in the calves have started already without having been on the bike and that is not good…I did get bananas at the store yesterday and have had one so I’m hoping they will be better before I get on the bike…it’s only 51 outside so I’ll have to wait a while for the temp to come up to go out…but I need to finish the coffee first anyway….one good thing is the soreness in my neck and shoulder is better so that’s something…and, I’m going to make some cash today and tomorrow so there will be groceries for the next two weeks…not much to do today…pool, of course, and an errand  but that is about it….more later…

The Hammond B-3 count….

Well…I think Tom will get a laugh out of this one…I have this weird obsession with how many bands/artists have used the Hammond B-3 organ in their songs…just saw another one…watching Crosby, Stills, and Nash on AXS…they have a Hammond…that makes almost everyone..other than Jeff Beck who I saw last week…just kind of funny….

Scott Walker and foreign policy?

Well…yeah…I’ll bet you’re laughing just as much as I am with that title…for the transparent one, the guy that says his favorite foreign policy initiative is when Saint Ronnie fired the air traffic controllers…yeah, that’s right…and this idiot thinks that he can take on the world just because he and his cronies screwed the public sector unions in Wisconsin…the last time I looked, the unions in Wisconsin didn’t have an army or nukes….and, if I remember correctly, ole Scott snuck out the back door to avoid talking to anyone that was protesting his gutting of the unions….that’s some bravery right there. What is going to be different about idiot boy’s foreign policy? I’m sure he is just going to tick off the boxes that all of the other repubs have in the campaign…no Iran agreement, bomb Iran on the first day….yadda, yadda…..look, this guy can’t even talk unless it is from the script handed to him by the Kochs so why should anyone listen to him? Can’t think of one reason…geez…

August 27th

Well…running really, really late today and I’m not sure how the morning got away from me…I did have to do the grocery run and put gas in the car but how I got to 9:30, I’m not sure…it was an okay day yesterday and I did get a few errands run so that was something…but no cleaning that I needed to do and I’m not sure I’ll get to it today…I do have to take G to the airport this aft so that will crimp the day somewhat…have to remember to take a bungee cord to hold the trunk down since I don’t think I’ve seen a suitcase small enough to fit without it….I have the tendon pain in my left elbow now and I am getting tired of the crap moving around like that…just wanted to get through a summer without any but I guess when you start getting old you have to just deal with it….not much to do today…I got a pork shoulder this morning and I’m not sure if I want to cook it today or Sat…but there is not much else to do other than stuff around here…more later…
