Well…I was a little chagrined earlier in the week when a conservative repub was floated as the new supreme court justice to be appointed by Obama…but then I found that Sandoval’s name was just part of the 11 dimensional chess that Obama is playing…he is actually trolling the repubs to make sure their reactions are as terrible as they can be…making sure that they go on record as saying that no matter who is nominated, the repubs will not do their constitutional duty to advise on the legal appointment of a new justice that Obama has every right to do…thereby ensuring that we will take back the senate later in the year when the new dem president will appoint a true progressive and tilt the court back to sanity for a generation….and the cool thing is that the repubs just don’t see it…only seeing their obstructionist path that is going to lead to their doom…please proceed, repubs…

February 25th
Well….it was an okay day and I spent some of it prepping for the snow that came all day….I was able to get the car out this morning but the heavy, wet snow was hard to push and I almost got stuck in the FF parking lot…the snow was so heavy that the plows broke and left huge pile in all of the roads that I had to try to avoid…was plowing snow with the front and bottom of the car all the way and had to keep the momentum up to get back here…hope this is the last one….slept okay last night and feel pretty good today with the fourth day of being good under my belt…I could get used to this….got the grocery run in yesterday so I wouldn’t have to go out today and that now looks like a pretty good idea….my back is still good today and I think I’ll stop reporting on it since it’s 5 days now it hasn’t really hurt….not much to do today…going to just veg it out around here and do some cooking and cleaning but that is about it…more later….
Alito injects politics into the court…again…
Well…with all of the crap that the repubs are spewing on the nomination to the supreme court that Obama has every right to do…and that they should take up…we now have the idiot Alito injecting politics into the process by sending a letter to McConnell saying that he agrees with their obstructionism…something that has NEVER happened in the history of the court but is not new for this liar. During his hearing for his approval…Alito lied through his teeth when he said that he would be a neutral arbiter of the law when his actions on the court have been anything but; he has been one of the most ideology driven justices there has ever been on the court…always ruling for business and against women whenever those cases come up…toeing the extreme right wing line that he promised he wouldn’t…just another lie. So now, with this last outrage, whenever this ass speaks, you know it is not as a neutral arbiter of the law as written…but the worst kind of activist justice that is hell bent on making this country worse for you and me…geez…
February 24th
Well…it was an okay day yesterday and I made a little cash so that was cool….slept okay and feel okay today since I was good for another day and today will be the same…I am sitting here waiting for snowmageddon to happen today and even moved the grocery run up a day to make sure I don’t have to go out if it does get as bad as forecast….hope this is the one last blast for this winter….my back is still holding up with just a little pain and I hope that continues…just a little stiff and creaky but I can live with that….have been feeling better with being on the bike almost every day but the wind is blowing too hard already to go out today…so, I’ll just work out and then on to work around here….not much to do today…T is going in for some dental implants to replace a couple of teeth and she will be in my thoughts….and I should do some cleaning after I get my other work done…more later….
Another lurch to the right…
Well…the repub primary season has been a thing of wonder…as I wonder how they are going to try to appeal to anyone but their bigoted base as all the candidates lurch farther and farther to the right to try to appeal those troglodytes. The latest is ole Ted Cruz who yesterday said that, when he is elected, he will send US Marshals to find all of the undocumented immigrants in the country and forcibly deport them…never mind that they would be breaking up families and leaving their US citizen kids to fend for themselves…really, really Christian things to do, don’t you think? I wonder what the base would think of the additional “gubmint” workers that would be necessary to enforce this nonsense…and I wonder what his owners would think when the labor they need to make their obscene profits disappears? I do know that I just hope they keep this up…there will be so much ammunition for our side come the general that no independent could vote for these guys…geez…
February 23rd
Well…running early today since I have a ton of stuff to do today…and I have already started that by fixing the shifter on the bike…the pivot pins came loose again so I had to put them back in place and try to drift the holes over so they will stay put….slept okay last night and feel pretty good today with being good…and that will help with getting things done today….my back is on the 4th day of no pain and it is just so nice being able to get up and down without thinking about it…I wonder if it’s the fact that I’m back on the bike….but today looks like the last day for a week or so with the snow that is coming tomorrow…might be able to get out if I go early tomorrow, though…not much to do today…I have errands to run this morning and then again this aft…going to make a little cash and spend a little today so I guess it works out…more later….
The stupidity..it burns…
Well…I know that some of us…or all of us know some lawyers that are not the brightest people in the room…but we really do have a new winner for the most stupid person in the world. An Arizona lawyer…Kory Langhofer, proposes that we let Scalia vote on pending cases even though he’s dead…and his reasoning is that everyone knows how he would vote on the cases and he started hearing them, so just let John Roberts have two votes on all these cases….nevermind that the constitution says that appointments to the court are for a lifetime term…not for a lifetime and a few months after death…now, I have heard a lot of stupid stuff come out of Arizona over the years but this one wins for the burning hunk of stupidity it is…man, where do they get these guys? geez…
Bye bye, JEB!
Well…I am smiling a little today after seeing that JEB! has dropped out of the race for the repub nomination…finally, this country is coming to it’s senses and making sure there will not be another Bush in the WH…and I grin a little to see that he has spent over 150 million dollars to get to 8 percent of the vote….now that leaves the field full of idiots and crazies…not that it wasn’t before…all I have to say is don’t let the door hit you in the ass on your way out…geez…
February 22nd
Well…..have lost the cursor here so I have to restart the computer…okay…back now….it was an okay day yesterday but I didn’t get much done….just kind vegged it out all day and I am a little guilty about that but I’ll live through it…slept okay and feel a little slow today so I am hoping the coffee starts to work soon….the one good thing is my back doesn’t hurt at all today so it looks like this pain episode is over…finally….took a couple of months but I am happy that it didn’t end up permanent….the bike ride yesterday was brutal with just no energy in my legs and I am hoping I got enough fuel in yesterday so that won’t happen again today…but, I’m not sure about that….it will be a full thermasuit day on the bike since it is back to being cold again but I’m okay with that…it is February in Michigan after all….not much to do today….and that is the truth…might run an errand but that will be about it…more later…
February 21st
Well…it was a pretty good day yesterday…how many times have you heard me say that? Had a three hour lunch with T that I am still smiling about and had the chance to put the top down on the car and do some cruising around to get a few things done…even got sunburned on my face that I have had to use aloe on but today looks a lot colder so it will be full thermasuit on the bike today….slept okay last night but no dreams and that is normal….my back is not hurting at all today so that is a plus but the allergies are flaring again and that is not fun this early in the year…didn’t get a lot done other than lunch yesterday but that is okay…will try to get some cleaning done today since this place needs it…not much to do today…going to just veg it out some and clean a little…and Daytona is on later so that will be the first napcar race of the year and I will nap some during it…more later….
