Well…of course it’s a repub…again…and it’s not enough that the repubs scare adults into voting for them by lying about the world and the dangers there, now, they are going after children…a pure asshole, Matt Salmon, a rep from Arizona destroyed the innocence of a group of 2nd and third graders last Friday at their school where he was invited to speak about the legislative process and couldn’t help but go the the repubs fear talking points asking these little kids if they were aware that there are child suicide bombers and that there are schools that train kids their age to be suicide bombers? Even before that, this idiot went on a rant on nuclear weapons and the Iran agreement before the teacher in the class room reacted and cut him off. What the hell is wrong with these repub assholes? Most of these kids don’t even know the concept of suicide and they sure don’t need to know that kids their age are failed by adults who encourage them to be murderers….I am just appalled by this kind of crap where everything these repub assholes do has to be connected to their warped ideology and hate….this is the modern repub party, folks….look and learn….geez…
Religion intrudes….again…
Well…have been following the case of the country clerk in Kentucky who has been refusing to issue marriage licenses to gay couples because…Religion…even after the supreme court told her to stop that crap. In fact, every court that she has ended up in has told her to do her job or resign..that the first amendment doesn’t give her the right to impose her religious views on her county or any individual…just what she is trying to do by denying these gay couples licenses….and she admits that by saying god is the law she is following and that it trumps the supreme court…now, you’ve heard me rant about this before…that the fundies are no different than the Taliban or other religious fundamentalists…all groups who want to impose their interpretation of supposed holy books on everyone…even those that don’t believe. I’m sure in her vows of office, she promised to uphold the constitution and she should be removed from office and held in contempt if she won’t do her job…updates later…
September 1st
Well…the start to another month and, as you know, it’s my least favorite day of the month…slept okay last night and had some weird dreams that I have not been able to put into context so I guess I’ll just forget them…I did get a bunch of stuff done yesterday and today is going to be the same…have a bunch of stuff to do around here again and then the normal rest of the day….think I’ll get the work done before working out and the bike ride so the aft will be open….I’m really sore again and I’m not sure what is going on…both elbows this time along with my right shoulder and I’m wondering if it’s the weather….not much to do today…and I should be done by noon or so…more later…..okay…one last thing…just a musing on not seeing anyone anymore….wonder if I’ll lose my social skills if this keeps up?
Scott Walker is still an idiot…
Well…I know, this is like shooting fish in a barrel but I just have to do it after ole Scotty’s latest bit of genius…in case you haven’t heard, ole Scotty was trying to burnish his immigration credentials the other day and came up with just the greatest comment…he thinks that we should consider building a wall on our border with Canada…yep, a 5,500 mile wall with our northern neighbor to do what? Keep out the Canadians? Why the hell would they want to come here? Especially into Wisconsin? I am, as always, amazed at how stupid this guy is…and we’ve all seen that he can’t answer any question on the fly…and the only reason he got re-elected is that the Wisconsin media is in the tank for the repubs there and the Koch’s wallets were wide open…it is good to see that the latest polls in Iowa show him with only 8% of the votes there…I think once he gets the national media attention that is coming, he is going to implode just like sister Sarah…where do the repubs find so many dumb people to run? In my day, this guy would have been a dog catcher at best…what a maroon….geez…
August 31st
Well…it was an okay day yesterday and I finally got a bunch of stuff done that needed to be done…and today looks much the same with errands and lots of work around here…will probably have to wait until the aft for the bike ride since some of the things I have to do are time sensitive…slept okay last night and I’m really not too sore this morning so that is something…Man U is disappointing me again with another loss and I may have to pick a new team to follow…really ruined my day when they lost yesterday….I guess I’ll just have to get over it….not much to do today…no, that’s not true…will be going full speed starting in about an hour so I need to get the coffee down to fuel that….more later…
August 30th
Well…it was an okay day yesterday and I made some cash so that was cool…not sure how I slept but I feel tired this morning so it must not have been that good…and, I feel a little crappy this morning but I know why that is…didn’t get a lot done yesterday but I did get a pork shoulder cooked that came out pretty good after brining it overnight…pork usually turns kind of rubbery after brining but this one was really tender….so, I’ll have leftovers for most of the week even though I only cooked half of it….skipped the bike ride yesterday since it rained most of the day and that was good for the legs…they don’t hurt today and it will be interesting to see how they fare on the ride this morning…need to get out soon since Man U is playing at 11 and I want to see if they can continue like they played in Brugge…more later…
Dick Cheney is still an idiot…and wrong, as always..
Well…ole Dick has crawled out from under his rock to put his two cents in on the Iran agreement…and, as you already know whenever he opens his mouth, he is wrong….he starts off his screed by saying that Obama is lying to the world about the agreement and it will guarantee that Iran will have the bomb like next week and will use it as soon as they get it for the first time since Hiroshima…yadda yadda….is anyone else tired of this idiot still being listened to? After all, he was wrong about everything in the middle east for 8 frickin years and lied his ass off to get us into the war that will end up costing 6 trillion dollars…so why would anyone that is not under Obama derangement syndrome believe him now? I guess the superman Obama is using his mind control over the negotiators in Russia, Germany, China, and the rest of the people in the agreement to make sure they don’t see his lies and his plans to hand over all of our nuclear weapons to Iran…and, after that, he is going to give the keys to the White House to Iran, too, as he implements the secret Muslim plans he has been working on since he was born. That is just how ridiculous ole Dick is…go climb back under your rock, Dick…and be thankful you’re not under arrest in the Hague…geez…
Nothing stupid so far this weekend…
Well…as you know, I depend on people doing and saying stupid things for many of my topics here but there hasn’t been anything to write about today…the candidates seem to have gone into hiding or they’re out talking to people in their bubble without coverage…so, where does that leave me? Nowhere, it seems…..oh, there is that idiot county clerk in Tennessee who is still refusing to grant marriage licenses to gay couples…even though 3 court cases have gone against her…she now is appealing to the supreme court to allow her to use here religion to discriminate against gays under the guise of “religious freedom”…when will these asses understand that you can’t just shout “religion” and then have a license to treat people badly…saw a show the other day that really showed how this didn’t work back when integration of the schools was happening and it won’t work now…just quit the job you idiot…one good thing is that they have started to work on filing misconduct charges against her and then will remove here from office…I hope the couples she refused will sue her broke for damages…geez…
August 29th
Well…it was an okay day yesterday but I lost at pool…put an 8 in on the break so that made it a little better…slept okay but no dreams again..and that is getting redundant…..it looks like I may be able to take the day off from riding today since it is raining and looks like that will continue for a while…I can probably use a day off even though I’m not too sore today…hoping that the guilt won’t drive me to going out later but if the sun shines, I may just take a leisure ride…but, I feel a little slow today and may just sit on the couch and drink my coffee….not too much to do today…I have a pork shoulder in the oven right now at high temp to brown it and then I’m going to cook it low and slow the rest of the way…just trying some new stuff to see how it comes out….more later….
August 28th
Well…it was an okay day yesterday but still didn’t get anything done…well…I did get a few things done around here that were necessary but not enough….oh, well…crappy, crappy, night of sleep, too, so I’m a little worn out today…and the cramps in the calves have started already without having been on the bike and that is not good…I did get bananas at the store yesterday and have had one so I’m hoping they will be better before I get on the bike…it’s only 51 outside so I’ll have to wait a while for the temp to come up to go out…but I need to finish the coffee first anyway….one good thing is the soreness in my neck and shoulder is better so that’s something…and, I’m going to make some cash today and tomorrow so there will be groceries for the next two weeks…not much to do today…pool, of course, and an errand but that is about it….more later…
