Well…it has been a long day with trying to go across town and having it take an hour and a half and a quarter of a tank of gas…but, that’s not what this is about…it is just a short one about a really neat thing that is happening at repub town hall meetings…the idiot repubs are trying to run on and are proud of repealing the ACA….the problem is that the people they represent are having none of it…asking one rep in Florida to stop lying about the ACA and then putting him on the spot with what he would replace it with…nothing but fricking silence from the idiot….so, I think as people get to understand more and more of the benefits of the ACA…the repubs are going to be in trouble…can’t happen to a crappier bunch of folks…geez…

August 16th
Well…running a little late this morning and it is just that I don’t need to be in a hurry on Fridays…it’s a no work out day so all I have to do is get on the bike in a few minutes…I do have to do some repairs to get the squeak out again but that takes about a minute so I can just take it easy…it was a good day yesterday with a long HH with T and lots of laughs and the car has just been transformed with the clutch fix…just so much more fun to drive now that it shifts right…slept okay, too, and that is a big plus…I did get out to Target and picked up an all in one printer yesterday…a wireless printer, scanner, copier for only 35 bucks…can’t even buy the ink for that price…pretty cool but I’ve never owned an Epson so we’ll see how that works..not much to do today…out for pool later but that is about it…and another one of these, too…more later…
Hypocrites again….
Well…I find the recent normal of the repubs hating something (like gay rights) until it affects themselves or their own family, to be just another indicator that they have no moral center left at all. The latest version of this hypocritical nonsense lies with the reps from Arizona who all voted against the relief for the victims of hurricane Sandy…the millions of people who live in the heathen northeast, and are now having a pissing match with FEMA since they won’t send aid for the wildfire damage that happened in Arizona. Now, you might think this would be payback for their just general nastiness since these folks just hate everyone…but the damage is small enough for the state to handle and that is just what FEMA said…but these idiots, who preach that the states should run everything in their state without federal interference, are just trying to force the costs of firing firefighters that they don’t want to pay for and the resulting damage on the federal government…tough luck, McCain…and Flake…remember Detroit when you continue your whining and the fact that you said you’d block any aid while they restructure…karma’s a bitch….geez…
August 15th
Well…running late again today and there is no reason for it, really…just wanted to lie on the couch instead…but, I’m here and ready to go now…it was an okay day yesterday and I did get the chance to take the Miata out for a long, top down drive which was fun…I can’t believe how much nicer the car feels with the clutch working properly and no notchiness in the shifter…slept okay, too, so that is a good thing…and I had a little bit of luck taking the bike out yesterday…when I got on it the computer was not working so I stopped to check it out and found the magnetic trigger had come loose and was barely hanging on…if it would have fallen off on the trail, it would certainly have been lost…not much to do today…I do need to get moving to get the workout in and there may be a HH with T later but that is about it….more later…
What the hell is wrong with Kansas?
Well…just got back from a drive int he car and read this jaw dropping piece of crap out of Kansas…an anti-abortion protester whose group has been behind the efforts to close the last clinic there has come up with a novel idea….he went to the Kansas City city council and told them that the clinic should be closed since there could be “gun violence” there with the escorts of the women needing these services being armed…no matter that all of the gun violence there has been by people from the anti groups shooting the doctors that perform this service….what this amounts to is the old protection racket the the mob used to do…close down these clinics or we won’t be responsible for what happens to them…and it’s not our fault if someone shoots someone associated with the clinic…wink, wink…what this ass is saying is a blatant threat that another crazy will take as a call to action…he should be arrested at least for inciting violence or even for incitement to murder….when are the rest of the people in that state going to tire of this kind of crap? That some crazy assed religious nut can impose his crazy assed religion on everyone? I’ve had enough of this crap…geez..
August 14th
Well…running late today since it is grocery day and that does take some time….what the hell is going on with the weather here in GR? I mean, 47 degrees in August? And only in the 70′s for highs? August is supposed to be high humidity and 90′s as the summer winds down…I hear it is supposed to get back to normal next week so that will be the week to get out to GH. It was an okay day yesterday and I got the car cleaned and waxed but not much else done….I am still so sore that doing anything that is too strenuous is really a pain…I guess I’ll have to remember the ibuprofen in the mornings to try to get the tendon swelling down…slept okay last night and the new tenant upstairs is not an A/C junkie like the last one so that keeps it pretty quiet at night…not much to do today…just the normal stuff of workout, riding the bike, and cooking…the kitchen floor need a scrubbing and I may get to that today…maybe not…more later…
Even the stupid is bigger in Texas…
Well…after the supreme court gutted the voting rights act and about an hour later the Texas repubs passed a law that would disenfranchise many, many Texans (all democratic I might add), the fallout was a suit by the AG to try to stop the shenanigans. I am just laughing at the response from the Texas repub AG, that the suit alleging that the new restrictions are racially motivated just can’t be true since the intent of the redistricting was to make sure that Democrats can’t vote…yep, in the response to the suit the repubs admitted that they are trying to rig the votes there but shouldn’t be held responsible since there is no law against making sure your opposing party can’t vote…and they cite ole Scalia saying that there is no right to vote in the constitution….I am just stunned by the stupidity of these folks…can’t they see that by filing this brief, they have opened themselves up to so much legal action that the state AG will have no time for anything else…hmmmm…maybe that’s a good thing….and these are the folks that keep waving the constitution around like a flag….big, big, stupid…geez…
How low can they go?
Well…every time I think that the repubs can’t sink any lower than candidates like Issa (the high school dropout/car thief/ arsonist) or Louie Gohmert (just plain nuts), they surprise me with digging the hole even deeper…and this time it is Louisiana that is holding the shovel…the news just made me laugh so hard that I really had to comment on it…their latest brainstorm for a candidate for congress from swampland is one of the stars of “Duck dynasty”, the A&E show about the duck call business run by the Robertsons…now, this guy may be successful due in no small part to the tv show, but is he qualified to…oh, that’s right…tea party folks are proud they are not qualified to be in congress and have no need to compromise or represent anyone..just their lame brained ideas of how the country works. Just another of the haters on the right who think that everyone should be able to inherit a business from their daddy and that makes them better than the rest of us….keep it up repubs…run them idiots…geez…
August 13th
Well…it was a kind of strange and depressive day yesterday with it raining almost all day…and it started raining after I was out about a mile on the bike and kept raining the whole way…but, it was warm enough with no lightning so I just kept going….and the bike survived another day of riding with the fiberglass holding up…slept okay last night and it was nice that it was a little cool but I think this is the coldest I can remember it being for such a long stretch in August…it is supposed to be 90 but today will only be around 70 for a high and tonight it will be in the 40′s…strange….not much to do today…more resumes, of course…and cleaning, cleaning….more later….
The stupid is even deeper than I thought..
Well…if you’ve seen any of these over the past few years, you know that at times I rail against the abject stupidity of many of those elected officials on the repub side…and, I thought I’d heard it all with the yahoo named Yoho from Florida who just knows that Obamacare is racist since it imposes a tax on tanning beds and whites are the only ones that use them…but, today we have ole Dana Rohrabacher from California who has just made the stupid pool quite a bit deeper with his comments at a town hall meeting this weekend…well…ole Dana started it up with one of the classics, that the “libruls” are conspiring with the UN using global warming to form a world government that will tell us what to drive, eat, and how to power the society…and he actually said this out loud in front of people at the meeting…and the sick thing is that the entire crowd cheered him…and then he went on to say that we could end greenhouse gas emissions if we just clear cut all of the rainforests…since this idiot doesn’t understand that plants take in CO2 and put out oxygen as part of their respiration….every time I think that the repubs can’t get much more stupid…another one pops his head out of the ground and ups the ante…what a bunch of maroons…geez…
