Well…it’s been tough lately to think about anything of any importance and I’m not sure why my brain has shut down….I seem to have lost my sense of outrage or maybe it is that I have finally resigned myself to the crazy state of this country where we have a tiny minority of crazies who are ruining it for everyone…bridges falling down, potholes as big as my Miata, and children going hungry seem to be acceptable now. When the hell did this happen? I think it’s the result of the “I’ve got mine” attitude of the repubs here in the US and the fact that they don’t believe there should be any government..or that the purpose of government is to be subservient to business and do what will make more and more profit for the 1%. Yeah, maybe that’s it…when we have millions of people out of work, millions of college grads flipping burgers, and million of people like me that can’t find work of any kind…and no one seems to give a damn…maybe that’s why I don’t anymore….who knows?

June 5th
Well…not running late today…have been up since 6 or so and it was a night of no sleep again but who really cares anymore? It was an okay day yesterday and I had a little money come in so that was cool…and I got to drive the car around a little finally which was fun…did have a setback with my face swelling with it being worse this morning that it was last night and I am getting really tired of it…look really old and shedding skin like a snake is just not a good look….I am going to make the grocery run today to get supplies in before I run out of cash so there will be food today….not much to do..other than that…after getting some stuff done around here, I am going do the kitchen today…kind of wish it would rain so I could take the day off riding to get a head start….more later…
No one does stupid like the repubs…
Well…have been thinking about doing a weekly series on the abject stupidity coming out of the repubs these days, and that may happen, but I just think I’ll do this one first and see how it goes…not sure if you know but there is still a huge controversy going on in Alabama where the repub idiots there are spending most of their time trying to get around court decisions that outlaw teaching creationism in their schools…and one of the reasons that was used in the debate why evolution just can’t be true is that no one has been able to take an e-coli bacteria and make it evolve into a human in a laboratory…yep, I am not making this up…this was suggested by one of the elected repubs there…man, the stupid runs deep in Alabama.
The second bit of stupid goes out to all of the repub governors who have decided that the poor residents of their states do not deserve any type of healthcare and have rejected the Medicaid expansion that would be paid for by the feds…and the funny part (well..none of this is funny) is that it has been calculated that rejecting this expansion is going to cost these states almost 9 billion dollars in uncompensated care that these idiots are going to end up paying for anyway….so, to recap, cover all your people for free, or cost your states billions….which would a smart person choose?…as always, it just all ideology to these idiots…and poor people pay…geez…
June 4th
Well…it was another day yesterday…and I woke up to my right eye being closed again…this is getting to be a pain, after all, it’s been since last Thursday that I got sunburned and you’d think it would have healed by now…slept okay even with it being a no cocktail night so maybe I’ll get a few things done today…the kitchen does need a complete teardown but there are other things to do before that….I do look like a peeling snake today with losing all of the burned skin…it would be nice if it would get warm enough to go to the beach one of these days…what the heck is s Miata for? Might have to take a road trip one of these days..it can’t be good for the car to only drive it 300 yards a day….but, it does save me money on gas…more later…
June 3rd
Well…this damn software did it again…my June 3rd post disappeared…no wonder I’m behind…so, I’ll try to re-create it…slept okay last night but the eyes were swelled shut when I got up and I have been massaging them to be able to see ever since…I did get the squeak out of the bike for at least one day…had to tear the front fork off and grease the bearings with some lithium grease…but I made the mistake of lubing up a bunch of other stuff so I really won’t be sure where the squeak was…just glad it’s gone for now…I think I’m just going to bite the bullet and replace the clutch master cylinder this week…it has just been acting weird and I don’t want the damn thing to fail on me somewhere on the road…okay…that’s about all I remember so I’ll stop here…
Just some stuff…
Well….already running late for the month and I’m not sure how that happened…so, I thought I’d come back and do a mish mash one with just random thoughts in it….I may have gotten the squeak out of the bike…two days and counting and it is still quiet so I do have a little hope….I do have a question…why the hell are there any young republicans? Unless they are certain to be a part of the right wing money scam, what would appeal to a thinking young person? Hating on your gay friends? Ensuring that you will never be able to pay back your student loans? Limiting the rights of everyone unless you are one of the 1%? I can understand some young people who are well connected into the old boy network like the Romney spawn being repubs, but what young person that actually has to work for a living would think tax cuts for the rich at the expense of a secure future would be a good idea? Just can’t understand any appeal of the current repubs to anyone and I’m supposedly their base constituency…and old white guy…something to think about….oh, one last thing…my face is still puffy around my eyes and I am really hoping it goes away soon…it’s a pain continually massaging my eyelids to keep the fluid out of them so I can open my eyes…
Darrel Issa called someone a liar?
Well…I am just laughing at the caliber of person that the repubs are calling leaders these days starting with the crook Darrel Issa who is leading the witch hunt against the IRS…let’s look at this idiots history and it will make you laugh, too. First, this guy was arrested and charged with stealing a Maserati a few years back…then, there was the suspicious fire at his business that fire investigators said was deliberately set…and the fact that ole Darrel didn’t get the entire claim paid by his insurance company says that they believed that ole Darrel had something to do with it. Now, this guy is calling Jay Carney a liar? Look, I can understand why the IRS looked at a bunch of the tea party non-profit applications….they were buried in them when the tea party nonsense was at it’s peak…and if you know anything about the repubs behavior, you know they don’t think the rules apply to them so to look at these folks would be a good idea. The last thing to remember is that there wasn’t one of the apps rejected…not one, so how is that targeting? I think the best thing to do would be to ignore ole Darrel and maybe he’ll crawl back under the rock he came from…what an idiot…geez…
June 2nd
Well…it was an okay day yesterday and I had a little fun with going out and having a couple with K and V…slept okay and the swelling in my face seems to be a little better but it is still there…but there was no ooze out of the skin like there was yesterday so I take that as a good sign…..and my feet are much better…I won’t let sunburn like that happen again you can be sure….took the whole front of the bike apart and greased it yesterday but is still didn’t get rid of the squeak…I may have to take it over to the car wash and clean it so I can start from scratch…going to take a ride in a few to make sure where it is coming from…but that didn’t help yesterday….not much to do today….not even any cooking so it will be a lazy day…going to clean a little and then just read some…and come back for one more…
Why do repubs hate women so much?
Well…you know that I’ve talked about the continuing lack of respect for womens rights that oozes from the repubs daily from the 967 laws that have been introduced in repub controlled legislatures to limit womens access to abortion and even to contraception over the past year…and, with these idiots, you knew there would be new attacks. The latest is the hand wringing over the fact that some married women make more money than their husbands and the repubs are blaming this fact for all of the ills in society and they think this is the reason that men are being marginalized…if they are. My thoughts are that, yeah, on the right a woman earning more than a man is a huge problem…on the left, not so much. But, the whole thing comes down to the control that men on the right think they should have over the women in their lives and they are threatened that if they continue to be the mistreating assholes they are, the woman in their life that has the means to kick him to curb, will. It’s just about fear of change that these guys can’t take….it’s one thing that I taught my children over the years is that men and women are equal…period…no discussion on that point..just wish the idiot repubs would do the same…geez…
June 1st
Well…running late today, again, have been trying to get the squeak out of the bike again and it is driving me nuts…slept okay but woke up to find some thing really weird… the sunburn on my head has swelled up my forehead and tightened up the skin so much that my normal wrinkles are gone…looks kind of weird but and I hope it will go down as the damage is repaired…my feet are still huge, too, and I am having to wear my loosest fitting shoes just to have something to wear…not much to do today…going to get the bike ride in right now and then come back here and cook and clean…and, there are races on today so the boredom shouldn’t be too bad…
