Well…it was another day yesterday but there was some good news in that I got the check from the state I was waiting for and that means I can eat again for a while and get the radiator ordered for the car so I can replace it next week…there was bad news, too with the Tigers losing and I have now officially given up on them for another year…I’m still working on the bike to get the creak out of it since it is so annoying…going to move to the front of it today and lube everything since I did the back earlier…there are still a few points in the rear, too, so I’ll need to get to that before I go out…it’s going to be too cold to go for a while so it will give me something to do….and I will try to come back for another but it is pool day and you know that takes away my desire to write usually…
Back to the “let’s scare em” playbook
Well…I am just appalled at the stupidity or the willful lying about the auto industry that came out of ole Mitt’s campaign yesterday….if it’s stupidity, then ole Mitt is not the sharp businessman that he purports to be, and if it’s lying…yeah, I know, he lies all the time so what is the big deal? Yesterday, in a speech in Ohio, ole Mitt came on stage and attacked Obama by saying that Chrysler is going to move all Jeep production to China because of too much regulation, yadda, yadda….but in the report that he quoted for his information, it was clear that Chrysler said no such thing…they said they were going to look at restarting Jeep production in China for the Chinese market….and they came out with a letter to ole Mitt saying that it was just an overheated fantasy that they were moving any production…and then stated they were ADDING 1,100 jobs in Detroit…something that ole Mitt didn’t want to hear since those jobs are a direct result of the auto bailout that he vehemently opposed. As always, ole Mitt didn’t think about the workers in those plants in Toledo that he said were closing…he didn’t think about the shock that would come from losing everything…he only thought of them as a prop for his campaign and as a way to get votes…what an amoral piece of crap ole Mitt is…geez…
October 27th
Well…it was a crappy day yesterday but I really can’t comment on why…or, I don’t want to right now so I’ll get on to other things…it was nice to hear Ken and Mickey do a Griffins game last night but the Griffins really looked bad…up 4-1 and then losing 6-4…oh, well…I’m hoping that it warms up enough to get a bike ride in and see if I did get it fixed…I may have to put it on the back of the car and take it to the car wash….slept okay but had dreams of radiators…yeah, you know I’m weird but that one even made me laugh…I am going to come back…maybe right now about the scare tactics that ole Mitt is using in Ohio…
October 26th
Well…it was an okay day but I am not watching the Tigers any more…down 0-2 and I just can’t take it…I did get out in the car for a drive yesterday but made it a short one…just wasn’t feeling that hot and I know it’s from not eating enough…makes me so damn tired that I just want to curl up on the couch…but, yesterday was better and I feel okay today…I may have a lunch with G today but I’m not sure yet…I’m having problems with the bike creaking and I can’t find out where it is and it is driving me crazy…I’ve lubed everything but it’s still there…might have to take the rear shock off and clean it…I will be back later with a political one even though I’m ahead for the month…and I think I’m coming up on number 2,000 of these…and some of them were even good…more later…
The no values party…
Well…I find the contortions that ole Mitt is doing to try to make himself palatable to the general public really laughable…or, I would if the shape-shifting wasn’t such a dangerous thing….what message does it send to the world and the bad actors in it on foreign policy? If they just wait long enough, that a new policy that they will like is tried? This kind of crap just emphasizes the cynicism that runs rampant through today’s modern repub party…that even the tea partiers and their rigidity on their supposed “American Values” don’t have one word to say when ole Mitt abandons the party’s principles and platform to try to get votes…these supposed values must not mean too much to them…at least not as much as power does, the power to imposed their views on the entire country when all the polls show we don’t want what they are selling. The lack of any core values combined with the embracing of public lying is the biggest threat to this country that we face…geez…
October 25th
well…running really, really late today since I just remembered that I didn’t do one of these yet today…it’s been a busy morning with getting a haircut and the normal exercise and I think I’m taking the car out for another drive today since it looks like the last good day….it was an okay day yesterday but the Tigers stunk and I think I’m done watching them for now…I did get a drive in yesterday, too and found out where Kalamazoo Ave. ends….okay…I need to read the news since I skipped coffee and the papers today…back for more after the drive…
Another inconvenient fact for the Republicans…
Well…with the new attack on Obama on the oil lease nonsense, they are again lying through their teeth as I explained a couple of days ago, but the new, inconvenient fact that the repubs don’t want to talk about is the trend in domestic oil and gas production. Over the past four years (you remember those years of the over regulatin’, socialist president) oil and gas production in the US has soared and is on pace to rise another 7% this year…if these trends continue, the US will be the largest producer of oil in the world in just a couple of years…surpassing even Saudi Arabia. So, either the regulations didn’t have any effect on rising production or they actually spurred more oil and gas production…either one just blows apart another lie by the repubs…maybe the truth will win…at least it looks like it has gotten up off the canvas and is ready to go a couple more rounds…
Let’s climb down from the ledge….
Well…there has been much consternation from the good guys that Obama has not been able to pull away in the polls with Romney being exposed for the shallow idiot that he is…and plenty of us have been on the ledge, ready to jump…but there was a good article that just came across Twitter from the WAPO today that does the right math, the electoral math, not the popular vote math the repubs are pushing. In the popular vote, ole Mitt has been crowing that all he needs to win is 50.1% of the vote to become president, again exposing that he is just not too bright…when we look at the electoral math and map… even with being tied, Obama has almost 240 votes that are essentially locked in of the 270 needed for election while ole Mitt has around 190…of the 110 left, Obama only needs to win 30 more but ole Mitt needs around 80 to get the job done…basically, he would have to run the table and take all of the remaining votes, something that does not look possible with the leads that Obama has in many of those states. So, climb down from the ledges folks, it still looks good for the good guys and with today’s new rape controversy sparked by another stupid repub…it will look even better tomorrow…especially since ole Mitt just did and ad for this idiot. Geez…
October 24th
Well…I am having a heck of a time getting going today…as you can see…but, I do need to run one errand today so I can watch the World Series tonight with a cocktail…and a snack…so that means a run to Meijers this morning and I need to get to it…so, I will…and then come back in a few minutes for more of this…
Okay…got the coffee and papers done so I’m back for a few…it was an okay day yesterday and I got to put the top down on the car again…just like I did on the run to Meijers…I did lose at pool for the 4th time in a row and that is starting to concern me….no, not really….no dreams to speak of but I think I slept okay…getting pretty geeked up about the World Series starting tonight but it is causing me a little stress…not sure I like it when the Tigers are the favorites…just more disappointing if they lose and especially if Verlander loses…but, I need to get to the workout and bike ride so I need to get moving…more later…maybe…
No contest…
Well…even though I was out for quite a while last night, I did get the chance to watch a good portion of the debate last night…I wonder if I should even call it a debate? I mean, Obama just mopped the floor with ole Mitt and exposed him for the know nothing hack politician that he is. I am glad that Obama finally pointed out to the public how ole Mitt’s stands change form day to day, not a good thing for a president, especially in a dangerous world…can you imagine ole Mitt going up against any of the bad guys in the world? After watching the gerbil on meth look he had again last night with the smirks, the blank stare, and the excessive eye blinking, it looked like he was having a stroke as he tried to regurgitate the standard talking point nonsense. The most striking thing for me was the fact that he agreed with almost everything that Obama has been doing in foreign policy…so why should anyone vote for ole Mitt? I just think there is no depth there….geez,,,
