Well….another day, and another new lie is being passed around by the repubs…that all of the protesters that are flooding the town halls that the repubs are putting on MUST be paid by someone…and the name that gets dropped most often is George Soros…that he is sending in busloads of people to disrupt those meetings…it just CAN’T be that people don’t want their healthcare taken away, or that the don’t want Planned Parenthood shut down, or that they want trump’s Russian conspiracy investigated….nope, they have to be part of a left wing conspiracy whose only purpose is to keep repubs from doing things that 45% of the people want. Never mind that reporters in Utah at Jason Chaffetz’s town hall actually asked the people if they lived in the area and if they were in fact being paid….not one was….and really that would be such a good gig to have, to get paid to protest…I mean, I could do that job and I could use the cash….but, this is just like the non-existent voter fraud that the right keeps harping on…it only exists in the fevered minds of the liars in the repub party…geez….
February 12th
Well….woke up feeling pretty crappy this morning and part of it was going out to have a couple with G last night….didn’t get back here until after 9 and that is late for me right now….I did get out on the bike yesterday and it was just brutal without taking anything before I went out….really missed out on the the whole prep routine so my face was pretty sandblasted when I got back here…and it looks like I won’t get back on the bike today with the rain…I’m pretty sore this morning so maybe that’s a good thing….I am using the new computer today and it is a little strange having all of the letters on the keys….and the keys are really easy since they are new….not going to do a lot today other than cook and watch some soccer….don’t need to clean since I did that earlier….and I’m not too motivated to do anything right now….more later…
Finally back out on the bike…
Well….yeah, I know…no politics today so far but I may do one of those later…I did get back on the bike today and it hurt like crazy….forgot to take ibuprofen before I went out and that made it torture…it looked like there have been a lot of trees down on the trail and I counted at least a dozen spots where trees were cut up…not sure when that would have happened since I don’t remember there being that much wind….hope to get out again tomorrow if it isn’t raining too much….I sure do like this new computer…
New computer…
Well….just a short one to say I have my new computer! It is really weird to have something that is modern and up to date….I’ll have more later once I fool around with it a while….
RIP Mike Ilitch…
Well…I really don’t like doing these…when someone dies that has been part of the fabric of Michigan life for as long as I can remember…and it happened again yesterday when Mike Ilitch died…You may not know who Mike was but I’m sure you have eaten one of his pizzas since the Little Caesars pizza chain is everywhere here in Michigan…and that would be enough for many people…but Mike was much more to the people of Michigan and especially the people of Detroit…he was the owner of both the Red Wings and Tigers and took both franchises from the depths when he bought them to championship teams..winning 4 Stanley Cups with the Wings and getting the Tigers to two world series…but, that is not what he should be remembered for…he should be remembered for the way he did it…always with a smile and a thought for his hometown, always giving back with his tireless work for the revitalization of Detroit…and his support of youth sports that gave countless kids a place to be and to learn what it means to be a part of something….so, RIP Mike…good job!
February 11th
Well…sitting here waiting for my son to come over so it’s a good time to do this…oh, and I won at pool yesterday….slept pretty crappy again last night and I am worn out today so far….not sure what is going on but I don’t like it….it was a pretty good day yesterday but I didn’t get a lot done…I did get some cleaning done so I wouldn’t have to do that this morning…not sure how much I’m going to get done today…I am going to get a bike ride in after the Man U match at 10 but I think that will be in full thermasuit since it will still only be in the 30’s…I am looking ahead to next weekend when it is going to be in the 50’s for three days straight and with every good day, we are getting closer to spring….okay, need coffee and to watch some soccer….more later….
Mike Flynn and the Russians..
Well….I can’t understand why the Russians meddling in our election has fallen out of the news but maybe Mike Flynn (the National Security Advisor) admitting he was in contact with the Russians during the campaign will bring it back into the spotlight. This should be an impeachable offense for the idiot trump since I can see quid pro quo written all over these meetings…kind of like this…”if you can help us get elected, we’ll get rid of the sanctions on you from attacking the Ukraine”…wink wink….don’t even need the winks here…it was blatantly putting their own election over the United States foreign policy and telegraphing that trump would be a lapdog for Putin…just as we see unfolding right before our eyes…where are you repubs? Get started on the impeachment….
February 10th
Well….feel pretty crappy this morning and I’m not sure why…I don’t think I ate enough yesterday and that may be it…only had about 1200 cals yesterday and I need more than that even without riding the bike….didn’t get a lot done but a little work around here but I need to do better today with my son coming over early tomorrow….slept okay last night but no dreams to speak of and that is a little disappointing with having some good ones earlier in the week…not too sore this morning but I am creaking around here today with stiffness…just can’t get everything loosened up and that is annoying….just will not give in to being old….need to clean today but that is not going to happen until I get more coffee…..more later….
The trump shopping network…
Well….if it wasn’t bad enough that the tasteless, classless trump hung gold all over the white house, now his staff is turning it into the trump shopping network. This morning, one of his chief idiots, Kellyanne Conway went on the air from the white house to hawk Ivanka trumps clothing line..yep, she actually did a commercial for her clothes on government time when she is being paid by the government. Not only is this the most classless thing that has ever been done in the white house, it is also illegal…so the law and order repub administration, three weeks in, has broken federal law for the umpteenth time….what are you going to do about this repubs…nothing of course, since you are a bunch of shameless hypocrites that spent 8 years crying about the lawless Obama administration that did not break the law….get on it and do something…
Don’t trust Gorsuch…it’s a front…
Well….the news is buzzing this morning with the “disagreement” that the SC nominee, Neil Gorsuch, is supposedly having with the idiot trump over trumps attacks on the judiciary after they slapped him down on his immigration fiasco…don’t believe it. Gorsuch is such a right wing corporatist who doesn’t believe in voting rights, or women’s rights to choose that they needed to do something to make him appear more moderate than he is…and what better way than to fake a disagreement with the idiot trump? This is all a front to sell his nomination to the American people and give the repub senators that are going to vote for him cover when they do…making him appear independent when he will be trump’s toady and supporting the worst of the fascist trumps ideas that will ruin this country even more than anyone can predict…..mark my words, this is all just a scam…you’ll see…
