Well…it was a recovery from traveling day yesterday but I am still sore from everything and I am starting to look my age a little…I creak when I move and have to be careful and I don’t like it…fell asleep on the couch last night and that may be part of it…there were dreams of pistols and dead bunnies that I didn’t like and the recovery from that has put me behind this morning…so, I’m going to keep this short so I can take a shower and go out for the papers…more later…
As I said, I need to cheat a little…
Well…with being 6 under for the month, I need to cheat a little and since I really haven’t commented that much on the Seattle trip, I thought I’d do a little of that now. I am so sore from playing golf that I have been taking ibuprofen all day…have never played 18 holes at a time so I guess the pain is to be expected…I did pop my back quite a bit and it was so loud that the other guys playing heard it…I thought I’d really done some damage but I got out on the bike today with no pain so I guess it was just a loud version of the crunching that I hear every day…it was so good to see J and the boys and hang out for a while and to meet the two new girlfriends…I wonder if they are still together after being exposed to the craziness….okay…going to stop here so I will have other things to talk about that will help me cheat even more…6 for the day isn’t bad…
This is how far the republicans are willing to go…
Well…I think I will have to keep reading the twitter feeds…lots of good topics to write about…and this last one for the day is about a woman in Idaho who went online and bought RU-486 to perform her own abortion since the repubs have driven all of the abortion providers out of Idaho with their draconian laws….well, the repub prosecutor there charged this woman with a crime for this act of taking control of her own body….and doing something that would have been legal if she would have taken the pills after driving across the border into Washington…this is the America you have to look forward to if you keep electing these idiots, and especially if you elect Romney…geez…
The rats are deserting the ship…
Well…was just reading through some of the twitter feeds that I follow and found a really interesting tidbit that I want to share…in spite of all of the fake confidence that the Romney campaign is exuding…as evidenced by the “sugar high” comment from one of ole Mitt’s campaign managers and their assertion that they are still even, Paul Ryan today started to hedge his bets by getting campaign ads ready to try to retain his house seat…yep, even the number two on the ticket thinks they are dead meat and are going to lose and is scrambling like a rat on a sinking ship to continue to be able to feed from the public trough….whatever happened to doing the honorable thing and going home to write books or something when you lose an election…oh, repubs don’t do that…they move over to being lobbyists to grab a few million from the people who bought them in the legislature…what a bunch of crap…
Flippedy flop….it’s the Romney bop…
Well…I was laughing my butt off the other day when ole Mitt went on the Sunday shows to say that he would keep parts of Obamacare including the part that says that insurance companies couldn’t charge extra for those with preexisting conditions…but a few hours later, one of his aides went on tv to issue a statement that that was not what ole Mitt meant…what the aide said he meant was that those with with preexisting conditions who ALREADY HAVE insurance can’t be dropped by their insurance companies. So, the rest of the people who now don’t have insurance and have preexisting conditions are out of luck under the Romney plan…whatever that is since he has not said what his plan is…just like he has not said what his economic plan is either….what an empty suit…geez…
Talk about denial…
Well…some good news after the Dem convention where it appears that Obama got a 6 point bump as compared to none for ole Mitt…and he is now up by 5-6 points across the country including Ohio and Pennsylvania where the repubs thought they would win in a walk…and the repubs only response is that it is a “sugar high” from the convention and they are really ahead…what I think has happened is that the repub convention was based on lies and the people in this country are starting to see that, while the dem convention was based on a shared vision of America that is what it used to be….and can be again if we keep ole Mitt out of the White House…these are going to be short…kind of like tweets so I can get caught up…
September 11th
Well…it was nice to sleep in my own bed last night but I am still so fatigued that today will be a day of just cooking and rest…and trying to get caught up here…slept okay last night with taking some melatonin that my daughter gave me…might have finally found something that works….no dreams to speak of but that’s okay…I do have a bunch of stuff to do with just getting back and I am looking forward to getting back on the bike…more later…
September 10th
Well..I’m back and had a great trip but I’m not going to update now….more tomorrow,,,okay…maybe I’ll add a little more…it was a great trip to Seattle and it was really cool to have the whole fam together for a few days….I am worn out with all of the activities and traveling but I am having a cocktail and doing laundry…plus, I have my own couch back….and that means something…can’t wait to drive my car tomorrow…automatics are just no fun….
September 5th
Well…getting ready to get out the door so this one is going to be short…probably shouldn’t have gone out to have a couple with G last night…feel kind of crappy this morning and that is not a good way to travel…I am looking on this trip with some trepidation but it should be okay…I’ll update on Monday when I get back…
Paul Ryan always has been and will always be a liar…
Well…I find it so funny to watch as the supposedly honest man in the repub party, Paul Ryan, is exposed as the liar that they all are over there…the latest whopper is the talking point that 1.4 million small businesses have filed for bankruptcy under Obama…and he goes on to repeat the meme that Obama is even worse than Carter…one of the new talking points that ole Paul has rolled out this week. The problem is that ole Paul is either not the detail oriented policy wonk that he has been portrayed, or he is just flat out lying when he makes these claims…the real numbers, according to the New York Times is around 47,000….I can see why he got it wrong since 1.4 million is so close to 47 thousand….I am laughing as ole Ryan’s reputation has crashed and burned every time he has opened his mouth in the last week…even the mainstream media is calling him out on this nonsense…take a look at the Matt Lauer interview from the other day and you’ll see what I mean…and even when caught in the lies, this idiot doubles down and tries to spin what he said so much I’m afraid he is going to burst into flames from the friction…geez…
