Well…my jaw just dropped today when I read about the reason that ole Darrell thinks the whole nothing of Benghazi is so important…and it comes down to only 5 words…he is so hot after Obama because Obama called the attack an “act of terror” and not a “terrorist attack”…yep, this idiot is spending millions of dollars and wasting the time of the house just because he didn’t like the way that Obama described the attack and nothing more…there is no “coverup” there is nothing there and yet this moron just keeps it up even when the author of the report on Benghazi called him a liar on tv this weekend and destroyed every allegation ole Darrell has made….I, for one, have had enough of this crap…how many people could have been fed with the money he has wasted…how many kids could have been given a free college education with this money? Just shut the hell up Darrell and do some real work for a change…geez…
May 13th
Well…running really late for a Monday and I am going to blame it on the Wings…stayed up for the whole game and didn’t get to bed until around 1:30….and back up at 7:30 so I am tired today….slept okay but nowhere near enough with it being a cocktail night…oh, and the Wings won! So, we go on to Chicago wed….yesterday was just too long for me…didn’t get a nap either so I’m not sure how today is going to be…I do need to meet up with C later in the day and wash the car…okay…I do need to work out and get the bike ride in since I was lazy yesterday…more later…
Let’s Go Red Wings!
Well…it has been an exciting first series for the Wings and today, we are looking at a game 7 with the Ducks and I am starting to get excited even though the game is still 6 1/2 hours away…yeah, those damn 10 o’clock starts are killing me and screwing up my cocktail nights…it has been a pretty good series so far but we could have ended it earlier if it wasn’t for some stupid mistakes but exciting anyway…and Hank hs been the best player for the Wings and has carried the team for the past couple of weeks…I just hope he has one more in him for tonight…or that someone else steps up and gives him a hand….they have been playing better and better as the series has gone on so I guess I can hold my breath for one more…even going to skip “Mad Men” to watch it..and no, I don’t have one of those fancy dvr’s that would be of great use right now…one thing left to say: Let’s Go Red Wings!!
The stealth bike returns…
Well…as you know, I’ve been chasing an annoying squeak in the bike for the past couple of weeks, culminating in me tearing the entire rear suspension off to clean it and re-lube it to try to get rid of the damn noise…it was so loud that people were turning to look from 50 yds away…so, after I took the entire back of the bike off and re-assembled it, I leaned on the seat and it was still there…damn…so then, I went at the front of the bike and tore that apart…and, eureka….I found the noise in the clamp that holds the handlebar on…so, I lubed it, put the whole thing back together and the stealth bike is back! Now, all I have to do is get a fiberglass kit to work on the seat post since I broke the JB weld today…oh, well…I do need something to do…
May 12th
Well…I was going to come back for another one yesterday, and after I just looked at yesterday’s life post I kind of cringed a little that it was another lazy one…I did have a nice day yesterday and made a little money so that was cool…and I met up with K for a couple and it was nice to catch up…and, it was a cocktail night so I should feel worse than I do…it may be that I don’t really have anything to do today and that’s the plan…to do nothing…well…I do have to clean up after the bike teardown since I have been chasing grease spots all over the place and I am getting tired of it….I do have some pork chops to grill today and then there are the Wings at ten so that will mean a nap at some point…did sleep okay, I think, but no dreams again so what’s the point? I think I’m going to go toast a bagel with cream cheese and smoked fish since I didn’t eat much yesterday and I can afford the calories…more later…
May 11th
Well…sitting here waiting for the coffee to finish and thought I’d get to this one….it was an okay day yesterday and I won at pool so that was good…and the Wings won in OT to take the series to a game 7 Sunday night and I am excited about that…slept okay and just couldn’t get out of bed this morning..but I did and have already been to Meijers to get food for the next couple of days and now I hear that the coffee is done so I am going to go read the papers and have many, many cups….
Benghazi is just another repub witch hunt..
Well…I am still waiting for the “bombshell” that was promised by the idiot Issa in his fourth hearing on the supposed scandal of Benghazi…and the only people who are pushing this nonsense is fox news and the rest of the crazy assed right wingers who just “know” that there is a coverup that is “worse than Watergate” there….but the problem is that there is no there there….all of the facts have been out for months and everyone who is not one these crazies see it as what it is: a failure to defend the consulate from determined terrorists….that’s it…nothing more. Let’s not forget that on ole GW’s watch, there were 14 attacks on American consulates and embassies across the world with hundreds of people being killed but not one peep from Issa or any of his crazy assed cronies…no hearings, no “worse than Watergate” no nothing….and that is where this just stinks…everyone knows that Issa’s antics are just them trying pre-emptive strikes against the woman that scares the hell out of them…Hillary Clinton…and she will crush any repub that decides to run…not just that she is more qualified than Ted Cruz or any of the other idiots, but they are so locked into the most unpopular ideas that make up their platform that no one can sell that pile of crap….geez…
May 10th
Well…it was a long day yesterday and I spent almost 3 hours trying to get the damn squeak out of the bike…tore the entire back suspension off and found that the rear shock isn’t one anymore and that means I have to find a replacement…after all that, I found that the squeak was in the front handlebar clamp…I hope, but it’s been raining so I won’t get to test it today….I did smoke some chicken and fish on the grill and they came out okay…need to refine the process some but I think it will work…and, I have to remember to close the slider while I’m doing it…this place smells like smoke today and I won’t be able to air it out…I did sleep okay but still feel kind of crappy from the allergies…I am kind of glad that it is raining to clean the pollen off the car….not much to do today….supposed to meet up with T this morning for bloody marys and brunch and then out for pool later but that is about it…oh, the Wings play tonight in a do or die game so that will be nerve wracking….more later…
And now for something really stupid…
Well…I was reading an article today that had ole Boehner talking about how bad the deficit is and how it is the only important thing for the house to focus on…but his reasoning made my jaw drop and it is still on the floor as I try to absorb the stupid…his reasoning went like this: because we have run deficits for 55 of the last 60 years, it shows that the government needs to bet cut and live within it’s means or there will be some sort of huge catastrophe….get that? The deficit is so terrible that we need to cut head start, unemployment, SS, and every other safety net program…and we need to do it right now since we may get the same result we’ve gotten for the last 60 years….and that is nothing…no dire consequences, no total meltdown of the economy, no sale of the country to the Chinese, no dogs marrying cats…no nothing. And now, this piece of crap has just proposed a bill that would pay bondholders first if the repubs decide to crash the economy by not raising the debt ceiling…that means we pay China and the rest of the repubs buddies while the military, seniors, and everyone else that has earned benefits will get stiffed…just what you would expect from the repubs and this POS….the stupid runs deep here….geez….
May 9th
Well…it was a long day yesterday and I fell asleep on the couch watching the Wings which is responsible for the soreness I feel this morning….slept okay but, with the deficit from yesterday, I still feel like I’m in a fog….but, I guess I’ll get over it…woke up this morning to the car being coated with so much pollen that I had to run the washers to see…need to take a photo of it…the entire car is a kind of yellow/blue and looks like I have been driving on dirt roads without a wash for a month…not going to wash it, though, since it is going to rain later today…I am going to smoke some fish and chicken on the grill today and I am excited about it…but, to get that done, I need to get the workout and bike ride in….more later…
