Ha, ha…

Well…with all of the attacks on Joe Biden for being old and slipping, I just saw a photo of Biden and the idiot trump side by side, Joe riding his bike and looking fit as ever, and idiot boy looking like a beached whale sitting in a golf cart…and the media keeps saying that idiot boy is the more fit? All you would have to do to see the monumental decline of idiot boy is to listen to the stupid interview that NBC did over the weekend…not that I’d ever want to have you damage you eyes or ears by doing that…cripes I’d have to use ear and eye bleach after that….look, I know Joe is 80 and has a history of gaffes at times but he did that when he was younger, too…it’s just who he is and I would much rather have a trim, fit 80 year old good guy for president than the clearly failing asshole that is trump….and one of these days the media needs to wise up along with the American people…there is only one choice to be made and it sure as hell isn’t trump…geez…

September 19th

Well…that was fitful night of sleep last night which is pretty normal for me when I’m in a new place…but, I got through the night with no problem so I’ll take it…feel okay this morning but I am a little sore from sleeping and all the walking so there will be ibuprofen in my future…today’s the day we go off to  the UK and our flight leaves at 8 pm tonight which is 1 am in the UK and it’s 8 hours long so we’ll get there around 9 am their time or so…have never had this much of a time change traveling so it will be interesting to see how bad the jet lag is going to be…going to try to sleep on the plane a bit but I’m not sure how that will work…the aircraft we’ll be on is a two row jumbo and we have the three seats in the middle row so we won’t have people having to climb over us to get to the restroom and that is cool…it’s my daughter’s birthday today and she is turning 46 and all I can say to that is yow! This is going to be the first time flying that I’ll get a meal on the plane and I wonder how airline food is? I know they used to make jokes about it in the past so I guess we’ll see…just need to get moving here and get this done and a post out to Mastodon…will be back later for a political one but right now I need to get over to Mastodon….more later…

Nbc is sure getting a lot of blowback..

Well…after the sordid debacle of putting the idiot trump on Meet the Press Sunday, the blowback to that bad decision and letting idiot boy come on an lie and lie is something to see…Keith Olbermann is even out with a long post on Kos today speculating that there is an internal investigation going on at NBC that could cost the anchor, producer and others their jobs…it was a pretty cool rant and worth reading…it is time for these “news” organizations to stop giving the idiot in chief a megaphone to spew his lies…NBC tried to stanch the bleeding by posting some weak fact checking online but that doesn’t do a thing for the people who will believe those lies and will never see the fact checking…they need to stop letting him do it…this is so bad that it may even kill the 75 year old Meet the Press…and it should if they can’t find their way back to true journalism…geez…

Made it to Baltimore…

Well…that wasn’t too tough…made it to Baltimore and now I’m petting cats and getting this one out…going through TSA in GR was a breeze and only took about 5 minutes…the flight was full and loud so I had earplugs in all the way…sitting behind the wing in a 737 is not the best seat to have…but I made it here with no problem and the big adventure starts tomorrow evening about 8 when we fly out of Philly to Heathrow….now I need to look for a topic for a political one for today…more later…

September 18th

Well…this is going to be a short one since I need to get out the door =in a little while…didn’t sleep for crap last night with the thoughts of the trip on my mind and trying to remember everything I need to do to prep the house and me for it….and I need to shut this laptop down so the battery will last til I get through the TSA line before boarding…I’ll try to come back for another one when I get to Baltimore…here we go…more later

NBC is attacking the US

Well…I sure as hell didn’t watch the idiot trump on “Meet the Press” this morning but the general consensus is that the whole thing was a mistake for NBC since they let him come on and just keep on lying through the whole interview…and what the hell legitimate news organization lets a person who is under 91 felony charges and who is a proven rapist come on tv for a whole hour just like it’s the most normal thing in the world? Whoever is running NBC should be fired today along with the new anchor who just let him lie and lie with no pushback or fact checking…a debacle like this used to be career ending and it still should be…there is no place for letting this felon spew his toxic bullshit…by allowing this, NBC is complicit in attacking our country as much as any terrorist….geez…

Ready to go…

Well…after a little bit of work today, I’m ready to go on the trip tomorrow…got my early check in done and now I just need to shut the house down in the morning and head for GR…not sure if I’m going to get to one of these before I get to Baltimore but I will get to it at some point….I am finally starting to get excited about the trip even though it’s going to be a lot of work and I’m going to be completely worn out when it’s over but it is still so darn cool…I did notice that I have a loose toenail from whacking my left foot about a week ago so I put some super glue in my bag in case I need it…I did stay off the bike today since I didn’t want to have any chance of hurting myself and I really did need the rest…going to take it easy the rest of the day….have already gotten rid of all of the food out of the fridge except for the milk and I’ll put that out in the morning if there is any left….so, now I’m just going to watch the Lions…have already taken care of the car and put the battery box and coolant in the trunk in case I need them….

September 17th

Well…up at the normal time today and that is around 6 or so…it’s the last day before I leave for my trip and I have details to take care of today….but not a lot of work so it will be an easy one…just need to give myself a haircut and clean up my beard but I can’t put my tooth brush in until tomorrow morning….I am a little apprehensive about flying tomorrow since I haven’t done it in years and things have changed….I think it’s going to be a relaxing day today with the F1 race on at 8 and then the Lions play at 1 so that will be a good background noise for the day….no bike ride today with the rain that is coming in and I wanted to rest my body anyway to make sure I don’t hurt tomorrow….I need to get some rest today and maybe even a nap later but I slept okay last night so that might not be necessary…will have to get rid of the perishable food later but I don’t have a lot of that since I planned for the trip….need to check in for the flight in a few minutes to make it easier at the airport tomorrow…not much to do today…just need to take it easy and get a few things done so I can get out of here by 8 tomorrow morning….more later…

Jobs…

Well…just wanted to do a shorty on an article I just read about a comparison of jobs created by repub and dem presidents…and there really isn’t any comparison…since the end of the cold war there have been 49 million jobs created…and guess how many are from each party…yeah, you know where I’m going with this, don’t you? Of the 49 million jobs net, the dems created 47 million of them or 98%…and that just shows that the dems economic policies are ones that work for everyone while the repub policies of tax cuts for the rich doesn’t do anything but make the rich richer…and we need to shout this from the rooftops since people believe that repubs are better on the economy than the dems when that is not even close to true…geez…

September 16th

Well…had another okay night of sleep last night but I’m pretty sore for some reason and it might be just from sleeping wrong…it’s cold in here this morning and I’m not sure why…it’s 57 out there and I shouldn’t feel cold…need to get on the bike by 7:30 this morning so I can be back here by 9 when F1 qualifying starts so I need to pour coffee down me and get jump started….and I need to remember to make a full pot of coffee tomorrow so I can have some Monday morning to get going…still have the high pollen warning on the bottom of the screen and I can really feel that today and it’s probably going to get worse as I get out and ride and then mow the lawn…it will probably be an easy day after the ride and mowing…don’t have much to do other than that and I really just want to get the trip started….have to make sure I do my rehab exercises today since I skipped them yesterday and I do need to keep up the healing…not much to do today…just going to wing it but need to watch Man U play at 10 so the mowing will wait til the afternoon….more later….
