Well….I know the attention in yesterday’s elections was on the presidential races, but there were two wonderful things that happened in down ballot races that I just had to comment on…first, Anita Alvarez, the prosecuting attorney of Cook county in Illinois was beaten in a landslide in her re-election race. This is the person who deliberately sided with the police in clear cut cases of wrongdoing by the cops…in one case, deliberately mis-charging an off duty cop who fired his weapon into a crowd, killing a woman that was just walking down the street…who later got off with no penalty due to her manipulation of the process…the second good outcome of the elections yesterday was the rejection of the corrupt prosecutor of Cuyahoga County in Ohio who did his best to protect the cop that shot 12 year old Tamir Rice less than two seconds after he rolled up in his squad car…ignoring the independent assessment of a state judge that said the officer should be charged with killing Tamir….and it got worse from there where this idiot, Tim McGinty did everything in his power to throw the case and make sure the cop wouldn’t be charged….all I say is good riddance to two people who are the poster children for what is wrong with our justice system…I hope the new prosecutors keep their thumbs off the scales of justice and follow the law…geez…

Bye, bye, little Marco….
Well…as expected, Little Marco Rubio got his butt kicked in his home state last night…winning only the county he lives in…which led to him dropping out of the race…and the concession speech was one that turned my stomach…where he decried the coarsening of the campaign by the rhetoric that was, to be generous, trashy on the right…something he was partially responsible for with his dick jokes at the last debate. But, the worst part was his invoking of god 30 times during the speech…saying that god said it was just not his time…now, if this idiot truly believes that god has a hand in an of this, then god must want the Donald to win since he is far ahead of everyone else and looks like he will get the nomination. To go back a little farther and extend this line of thinking, then god must have wanted Obama to win, too, since he won two terms….how does that square with the right’s supposed monopoly on god’s good graces? Just glad this little empty suit is going to be nowhere near the presidency….he’s never done any job he was elected to, and the presidency would be no different…geez….
March 16th
Well…it was an okay day yesterday but I didn’t get anything done but the workout and bike ride….slept okay last night but the storms that rolled through woke me up even with earplugs in…I still feel like I have that darn bug I’ve had for a week now and it is getting annoying….don’t really feel that bad all the time but still have flashes where I feel pretty crappy and the stomach goes wonky….not sure if I’m eating enough since I have gotten bored with counting calories and just don’t care right now….won’t get a bike ride in today with the rain and the wind blowing but that may be okay…got one in yesterday that made me feel better but it took a lot out of me….not much to do today…I should do some cleaning and I might but I might not…who knows? More later…..
Little Marco’s 2.1 GPA…
Well….have been reading a lot lately as I try to recover from this darn bug and ran across a funny little tidbit of information that describes Little Marco Rubio to a T…..some enterprising reporter was digging through his past and found his high school transcripts and the GPA he achieved explained a lot of what we see today….now, a 2.1 GPA is nothing spectacular…that’s just a bit better than a C and really shows that his backers who think he is a brilliant person or politician have got it all wrong…I mean a C average? Cripes I had a 3.4 average and I skipped 46 days in my junior year while I was working full time….what this makes me think is of the consistency of his lack of effort in everything he has ever done…skipping his job in the Florida legislature and then skipping his duties in the US senate…and half heartedly campaigning for president….depending on his rich backers and the next big thing he is going to do to ensure he does his present job in a half-assed way he has done everything in his life….now, to base an evaluation of this guys entire life on his high school GPA is not something I would normally do, but when he continues that same slacker mentality through everything he has ever done, it is one part of the puzzle that shows he is not a serious person….just another grifter looking for the next payday…geez…
March 15th
Well…it was an okay day yesterday and I got a few things done so that was cool…and I felt pretty good but that has gone away today and I feel just as crappy as I did last Saturday…but more symptoms have revealed themselves and I feel clammy with coughing and and a sore throat this morning…darn….slept crappy again last night, too, and that doesn’t help….so today looks like a maintenance day and I will just have to roll with it and hope to feel better tomorrow….I am going to take the bike ride today to try to burn it out but I’m not sure how good of an idea that is….T has been sick, too, but I haven’t seen her in over a week so I don’t think we gave it to each other….it took forever to get through the papers this morning and I am running late today…broke my sunglasses on the bike yesterday but was able to fix them so that made me feel better that I don’t have to go out and try to find another pair…I really like these since they stay on my face without falling down my nose….not much to do today…I do have a funny one on ole Marco that I want to do in a bit and the maybe one on the primaries from today…need to get caught up…again…more later….
Some good news….
Well…haven’t done a political one in a while since the crap that is going on over on the repub side has just gotten to be too much for me to follow…I mean, a presidential candidate telling his followers to beat up people they don’t agree with? With that, there is no room for any policy discussion on that side but we’ve heard it all…tax cuts for the rich…blah, blah…so I guess we don’t really have to hear any more….but, there was one bit of good news that came out of a national poll on the general election that was released the other day…and that is that either Bernie or Hillary would beat Drumpf by about 10 points with Bernie doing a little better….and those numbers are sure to go up as people hear more from the idiot….how far has the repub party fallen since I was young….when we had people like Vandenberg, and Ford and Bill Milliken….and now we have Drumpf, Cruz, and Rubio….have never seen a worse set of no talent hacks in my life….geez..
March 14th
Well…it was an okay day yesterday but I lost at pool…but it has been a long time since I lost so that was okay…slept okay last night but I still feel a little off today so I think I’ll take it easy for a while and have some more coffee….didn’t get on the bike for a second day but today looks like I may be able to get on it in a while….just feel worn out today and have no energy even with working on the second cup of coffee….but I have no pain anywhere for the first time in a while and that is a good thing….one thing I need to do is get motivated to get caught up here by doing a couple that are lucid and mean something but that seems like a lot of work right now…not much to do today…need to get back on track with exercise and then get some cleaning done but that is about it…I think moving to the couch will be all I can do in the near future…more later….
March 13th
Well…it was a pretty crappy day yesterday and that’s how I felt all day….my intestines felt like they were on fire and I had no energy and that led to getting nothing at all done…barely got off the couch all day…no bike ride, no nothing except watching sports….I did try to get more calories in and I think I failed at that….it’s hard to get over 1500 a day for me and that may be part of why I felt so crappy…still don’t feel great but I do feel better than yesterday so that is something…I know that it is a bug and that is comforting since I can’t afford a trip to the doctor….at least my back doesn’t hurt so that is something, too….it is a pain getting all the clocks reset for springing forward but I did get the car done so I feel good about that….not much to do today…maybe pool but that will be about it for me…no cleaning or anything else since I don’t have the energy for it…more later…
March 12th
Well….it was an okay day yesterday but I didn’t get much done….made some cash so I can pay the rent next month so that takes a load off…slept like crap last night and it’s my fault…haven’t been eating enough and that has started to affect my digestive tract with lots of pain last night that continues to this morning….so today I’ll have to try to get over 2,000 calories to try to fix that….I think it’s the reason I’ve felt kind of sluggish that past few days and I do need to do something about it…I wonder if part of it is the allergies, too….just feel like crap today and need to go back to the couch…..not much to do today….I will clean some if I feel better and get a bike ride in…but, it has to warm up before I do that…still in the thirties and I won’t put the thermasuit on again this spring…more later….
No pool today….
Well…it’s been kind of a boring day with no pool…but I made some cash so that was cool…but, I don’t really have anything to talk about in politics but I will do one tomorrow on the violence at the Drumpf rallies but I just can’t work up any outrage right now…it was nice getting a couple of ride in with the top down today….oh, and somehow, other peoples posts started showing up on my page here so I need to figure that out…so you may see some weird stuff that is not like me…I will be monitoring it to make sure it doesn’t happen again….
