Well…after the election, there are so many targets on the right with all of their nonsense that I am confused about where to go with this one…oh, one thing I wanted to talk about is how to organize a boycott of any company whose CEO fires people because Obama won the election…this just has to happen to make sure that these idiots pay out of their own wallet for this nonsense…and on that note, there should be a law passed that would make this nonsense illegal…well…maybe not…I really don’t want more government but these people need to be stopped somehow….I do hope that people will stop saying that the election loss will lead to soul searching on the right…first, these people have no souls so how is that going to work? Second, they are the true believers in that conservative nonsense and from everything I’ve read, the only thing they think they did wrong was tactical and that some small tweaks will win the election for them next time…I really hope they keep thinking that…if they do, they will continue to lose and I’ll continue to smile…

November 9th
Well…it’s another late morning but am I really late if this has become the norm? The bug is still with me today but my throat is not as sore so there may be light at the end of the tunnel….I hope so…I am so tired of feeling like crap…I did sleep okay last night but it was the cocktails I had watching “Burn Notice” that helped but I can’t keep that up…so, I think I’ll take it easy again today and let my body heal up some…I might be going out later to have a couple with C and K so that will be cool and it will be warm enough to put the top down and that will make me grin…not going to do much else today other than put out another one of these…so, it’s time to just relax for a while and stare at the tv…more later…
The 339 million dollar man…
Well…I am still grinning about the election and the incredulity on the right that they couldn’t beat the socialist Kenyan….but, the funniest thing that I take away from this one is the utter and abject failure of one of the “brains” on the right, Karl Rove, who had everything wrong and even when the election was called, he stayed in his delusional bubble just knowing that his information was correct and the rest of the world was wrong…that was a really cool thing to see. His failures as a political savant or even a mediocre politician was really driven home when not one of the candidates or initiatives that he spent 339 million dollars of other peoples money on won…that’s right…339 million dollars of spending and not even a box of donuts to show for it…and his explanations or justifications are that the race wouldn’t have been as close as they were without the money he spent. Yeah…I think that will go over quite well with billionaires that believed ole Karl when he said “just give me enough money and we can’t lose”….these people continue to live in the bubble of the right wing echo chamber and truly believe that they are entitled to the presidency or anything else they want just because they are rich…well..too bad…they have taken everything else and they even tried to take our votes but the people are starting to wake up to this thievery and have said no…it’s about time…
November 8th
Well…Okay, running really late today and there may be an excuse…at least not sleeping at all and being up at 4 is an excuse in my head anyway…it was a day yesterday that I thought the bug was going to break but I still feel like crap with a sore throat so I guess I’m not over it yet…I did get the papers read and had some coffee but that’s not really helping right now but I guess I’ll just have to power through it…I am looking forward to “Burn Notice” starting again tonight and that makes it a cocktail night but it will be a light one…just don’t feel well enough for more…I am going to work out here in a minute and try to get a bike ride in and then come back here for another one later…there are lots of things to write about…especially the turtle McConnell…more later…
It’s the ideas…nothing else…
Well…just a short one on the dissection that is going on right now about the election last night…the whole thing has centered on the mechanics of the election…about the execution and the organization that won the election…but I don’t think that’s it at all, I think it was the ideas that won the day…that people didn’t want more tax cuts for the rich…they don’t want the government interfering in peoples lives…that the whole idea of trickle down economics is not the direction that most of the people want to see…we want to see a way to strengthen the middle class and have good jobs for everyone that wants one…and they like the direction we are going…so, let’s keep going…
Okay, we won…haven’t seen anybody fired yet…
Well…have been nursing the hangover from the election all day, and that, combined with the cold I’m still fighting, have kind of laid me low today…but, I did want to comment a little on some thoughts on the election that have been bubbling up all day…first, na na na…to Karl Rove and his minions who thought they could buy this election…how did spending that billion dollars work out for ya? Ole Karl was just crazed after Ohio was called and I just laughed so hard with him trying to get his own network to rescind the call…second…I wonder how many businesses were closed and people fired today? To listen to these idiots, the lights were going to go off across America the instant Obama got re-elected…haven’t seen any yet…and now with us still in control of most of the government, there needs to be a new law that will make it a crime to threaten your employees if they don’t vote the way you want…third…and this one just make me laugh…the tea partiers are just going frickin crazy today..with the Ohio chapter putting out an obituary for America today on their site…the only thing I have to say is grow the frick up….American is in better hands than yours and your 15 minutes is up…crawl back under the rock you came from…the days of angry white guys running this country are over and not a day too soon…hmmm….what else? That’s enough for now…oh, I even watched Fox last night just to see how bad is was for them…I can’t remember being this happy in a long, long time…
November 7th
Well…it was a long day yesterday and a little disappointing with the car still losing coolant and I’m at a loss to understand that..but, Obama won and we held the senate so it was not too bad of a day…way too many cocktails, though, and I feel like crap so this one is going to be short…really, going to end it right now since I have a pork shoulder to get in the oven for later today…and I do need to get back on the bike…more later…
Just voted…hope you did, too…
Well…I just couldn’t wait to vote so I went over and got it done…only 30 mins from door to door and I feel pretty good about that…such friendly, nice people…and I still have smile on my face….it always feels good to vote, even though Michigan is going for Obama and there wasn’t the sense of urgency there was last time…now comes the waiting…I’m glad I have the workout to do and a bike ride, too, to burn off some of this energy I feel right now…or, maybe it’s the coffee and no cocktails last night? tonight is going to be different…I have cocktails and snacks to watch the returns and I hope it gets called early so I can text everyone…well…T anyway…more later…
November 6th
Well…the day is finally here and I am waiting for the polls to thin out a little bit before I go over to vote…I am excited about the whole process and I really do hope one of the idiot poll watchers confronts me…I slept for crap last night with no cocktails and I forgot the melatonin so I was up and down all night and I had dreams that involved the Miata and some good looking woman that didn’t care about my unusual lifestyle…if only real life was like that…going to keep this one short since I do need to get the pork shoulder in the oven…I will be back for lots more later…yay election…
Gonna be getting a bunch of these…
Well…with the election getting closer and closer, I am going to be free forming this and trying to get thoughts down as I have them…which means you’ll be getting a bunch of these in the next 24 hours…I am getting so excited about this election and I’m sitting here vibrating with the new projection from Nate Silver at 538 that says that Obama now has an 86% chance at winning tomorrow and I may even be able to let myself breathe a little…I may even watch Fox a little when the results are certain to listen to how fast they make excuses and throw ole Mitt under the bus…and there will be nothing but excuses…not that their ideas as so far out of of the mainstream that the country is rejecting them but that they just weren’t conservative enough…get the point repubs…people don’t want your crazy assed ideas of putting the government into women’s health decisions or any of the others…I can’t wait for ole Mitt and crazy Paul to go away…geez…
