Well…it was just another day yesterday with not much to say about it…I did sleep okay last night but I am a little tired today so this one is going to be short for now…I did get some responses to my post on the Miata site and people are freaked out about how nice my car is…I guess I am, too…but it is covered with snow right now and I do need to get a picture of that, too before I go out to Meijers for food…going to make another pork shoulder today and just hang out here…and continue the daily chores that I need to do…more later…
The republicans revealed…
Well…have been watching the races on tv but thought I’d better come back here and do another one since the repubs have another piece of hypocrisy that is making me shake my head…to the point of exploding. First, when the heck did the crazies on the right start believing that the government is going to start injecting chips into everyone in the country? Heard that nice little piece of crazy somewhere today but I don’t really remember where…but the second part of that is that, at a town hall meeting, Senator Grassley was asked if he opposed the chipping of people…of course he did, but the answer made my jaw drop…”nothing can be done to your body without your permission”…oh, really? Tell that to all of the women in this country that live under repub administrations that are forcing women to have invasive ultrasounds before they can even take a pill…that is the new law that has been proposed in Indiana…that even with non-surgical abortions, women are going to be FORCED to have a probing before they can sit in a chair and take a pill. I am so tired of these idiots attacking women but I also want them to keep it up…they may be able to do this crap now…but in two years they will all be gone and we can get back to good government and privacy…geez…
February 21st
Well…it was a long day yesterday but I won at pool so that is something…and I was not good last night so the crappy feeling are back for a while and are a good reminder that I need to go back to being good so I feel good in the morning and having some motivation…I did dream last night but it was so strange…my Miata grew into an SUV and then it got dark in the middle of the day and I couldn’t find the headlight switch…and it got weirder from there…so, it looks like I’m going to take it easy and watch the twin 150’s from Daytona…and not much else…I did get started on putting away the summer clothes and I may have to continue that…more later..
Okay…just finished up working out and thought I’d come back here for a few minutes since I think I’ve been shortchanging those of you who keep coming back here for whatever reason…I did join DailyKos the other day and I am waiting for the waiting period to end so I can start posting commentary there…I have been struck by how nice the people there are and how much they care for each other…one article this morning dealt with one of the posters having to have his 14 year old dog put down for illness and the outpouring of support was one of the coolest things to see on an internet that is infested by idiots and pricks…I also joined Miata.net since I DO have a Miata and that looks to be some fun and a way to get the inside scoop on all things Miata….it looks like there is some soccer on and I do need to hit the couch after the online papers…more later…not to this one but another one…
Republicans and percentages…
Well…getting ready to go out and shoot pool…my only activity for the week…and I thought I’d just throw in one thought that we have to remember…just like the 47% comment that haunted the Romney election campaign…when ole Boehner agreed to the sequester and many, many repubs voted for it, his comments were that he got “98%” of what he wanted from Obama and the Dems…to me, that sounds like the whole sequester mess is laid squarely at the feet of the repubs…and i hope that Obama and the rest of the dems let it lie there like the steaming pile of crap that it is…all the sequester is is the congress not doing its job and taking the easy way out due to the crazy assed tea partiers that reside there…and the repubs really did think they were going to win the White House and then get everything they wanted…lower taxes on the rich and corporations, and the gutting of the social safety net…didn’t work out so well, did it? Now, all we have to do is continue to remind the country that it is the repubs who are responsible for the next two years and then we can throw them out..permanently…geez…
February 20th
Well…not running late this morning and I have my fingers crossed that the bug is finally leaving me…I did sleep okay last night with some dreams that I am still puzzling out so I won’t get into them now….bad, bad sports night last night…Wings and MSU lost last night and I think I may have to just stop watching sports since I invest way too much in it….it doesn’t really mean anything to my life so I guess I have to get some perspective…I am getting really tired of winter and can’t wait for it to end and there to be days where there is no “lake effect” snow…getting to hate those words and hearing people scrape their windows in the morning….not much to do today..still completely broke so it’s more laying low and sending resumes….and a couple more of these…
Can these guys get any crazier?
Well…reading the papers today…and especially Daily Kos…okay, not technically a newspaper but a great place for we progressives to congregate…I was struck by the crazy being taken up to 11 by some idiot legislator in Missouri who proposed to make it a felony to even propose any gun control measures in that state. Yep, you heard me right…the party that reveres the constitution (or parts of it) has proposed that the 2nd amendment trumps every other one just showing that these folks are not qualified to serve anywhere. I wonder if they have even read the constitution? Don’t they understand that the Missouri constitution has specific clauses that make lawmakers immune to these types of charges? Man…just when I think that the right can’t get more stupid, here they come again with more, and more, and more…of the jaw dropping idiocy that is making them the laughingstock of the country…way to go Missouri!
More laughs for us…
Well…I haven’t really been following the immigration debate until the past few days…and what a few days that has been! I find the outrage on the right of the “leaked” Obama plan making me smile and smile…and one thing I find the funniest is that the leaked plan is almost exactly the same plan that ole Marco Rubio was going to propose…of course until Obama proposed it, then it was a commie, socialist, Kenyan plan as described by Rush and ole McCain…but, since these ideas are supported by a great majority of the electorate on both the right and left, where does that leave the repubs? I think Obama is finally figuring out that the right will reflexively oppose anything that he wants up to “two chickens in every pot”….and that gives him leverage and maneuvering room…it is so much fun to watch the repubs reacting to everything that Obama does; running around with no strategy and making themselves look like fools in the process…and Lindsay Graham has sunk so low as to citing internet rumors as reason to oppose Chuck Hagel…making himself look ridiculous to everyone but the crazy asses on the hard right. All I have to say to him and the rest of the right is “please proceed”…geez…
February 19th
Well…it was just another normal day yesterday but I did get out for a cruise with the top down…today is going to be ugly with the ice and snow and it looks like I’ll be hibernating for the day once I get out to get the papers…did sleep okay last night and with it being the first day of the week with no cocktails, I feel okay…the bug seems to be breaking, too, but I am still quite warm and coughing…okay…nope, it’s not breaking…after walking around for a minute…I feel really crappy so maybe it’s just getting worse. Not much to do today…it looks like just cleaning a little and watching the snow….now, I need to go out and try to get the door open on the car to melt it down…more later…
This is just too funny…
Well….just read an article that made me laugh out loud…if you follow the news at all, you’ve seen the concerted effort by the repubs over the past few years to paint Obama as the worst president in history in his support of Israel…calling him a traitor and worse since he supports an even handed approach to the middle east. Today, those talking points and attacks were destroyed by a very unlikely source….Israel itself…yep…the president of Israel, Shimon Peres announced that Obama will be the first sitting president to receive the Presidents Medal from Israel for his unwavering support or Israel. So, I wonder who’s right? Is it the rabid right, hate Obama, liar crowd or is it the president of Israel and the Israeli people? Are we now going to have the idiots on the right attacking Israel for a “conspiracy”…not sure what kind of conspiracy but if Obama is mentioned, there must be a conspiracy…I wonder what ole John McCain is going to say now…will he come out and say he is sorry for the attacks since they were all just to damage Obama with no shred of proof in them? I am laughing my butt off right now and can’t wait to read the comments by the right…it’s going to be a fun afternoon….geez…
February 18th
Well…running late again today and I think it’s because I haven’t been able to get the brain running early…or at all, really, and that makes it difficult to just sit here and write anything….I did have dreams last night about vinyl records and that all of mine had disappeared…especially my “Easy Rider” soundtrack album…why I was thinking about that, I don’t know. Feel a little crappy today and the bug is just not going away and the cocktails are not helping so I think I’ll take a few weeks off and let the liver rest…and it will take off a few calories so that will be a win win….it looks like it may be warm enough to put the top down on the car today and I really should wash it to get the salt off….not much to do today…I do need to work out and then get resumes out but that is about it…more later…
