Well…with the fear of beating the whole situation in Ferguson to death, I think I’ll move on to other topics this afternoon and see where it goes…first, just read the Obama has grown a spine and has told Harry Reid that he will veto the bill that ole Harry has negotiated with house repubs that would have screwed the middle class by taking away tax breaks and giving them to business…yep, I’m not sure what the hell ole Harry it thinking but that is not what any dem that I would vote for would do….I can now see why people don’t think there is any difference between the parties. Why can’t our side start acting like dems? I applaud Obama for telling Harry it was a non-starter. I also applaud Nancy Pelosi for making sure that there would not be any dems voting to override any veto….hmmm…what’s second? Not much…I am done going out until Friday aft for pool and that feels good…got a bunch of stuff done today and ran a couple of errands but now, it’s veg time with soccer…champions league is not my favorite unless Man U is playing but it’s good for taking a nap…..more later…
November 26th
Well…it was an okay day yesterday but I didn’t get much done but the grocery run…slept the same as always so I won’t talk about that…just another boring night sitting here, too, but the next season of “Lilyhammer” just came out and that helps pass the time…still a pretty good show….I am shifting into holiday mode today and won’t be doing much but getting the turkey brined and watching the Wings later…have a couple of errands to run this morning and then I am going to try to get back on the bike today just to see what the trail looks like….okay, the computer is giving me fits today so I am going to end here right now and restart the thing to see if that helps…more later…
Still can’t believe it…
Well…I am still marveling at the corkscrewing logic that was used by the prosecutor when he was announcing that the killer was not going to be indicted in the Ferguson case. It was so clear that he had an outcome that he wanted, to let the officer go free, and then worked backward to get to that point. There was so much prosecutorial misconduct here that I wonder why anyone even believed that there could be any fairness or justice…I am appalled at how blatant the rigging was from the news conferences where there was character assassination of the victim to the quite clear effort to ensure that there was no clear case of probable cause presented….the prosecutor should be brought up on malpractice charges and disbarred for this craven display of putting his thumb on the scale of justice so justice wouldn’t be served….geez…
November 25th
Well…it was an okay day for me yesterday..but not for the country…how does a cop get to murder an unarmed man and then get to walk away scott free? Have to just try to put that aside and be peaceful today…had a nice lunch with T yesterday and that made for a nice day…didn’t sleep at all last night and have been up since 4:30 so there will be a nap later in the day…have to do the grocery run today so I don’t have to be in the stores wed….at least the Wings won last night and played well until the last 10 minutes of the game….I am still a little sore from sat night but that is working out…may even be able to get on the bike today but with the rain and snow from yesterday, the trails may be icy…at least we didn’t get the 5 inches of snow they predicted…not much to do today…just the grocery run and a couple of errands so it looks low key…more later….
Ferguson watch…
Well…this is kind of a placeholder in anticipation of the announcement of the grand jury findings in the Ferguson case tonight at 8pm. I have the sinking feeling that there is another whitewash that is going to happen but I hope to be proven wrong this time…how do you not get charged with something when you chase an unarmed man 140 feet from your cop car and then shoot him to death? I will try to come back for comments later tonight or early in the morning….
Well..I was right…no charges for a murder of an unarmed man…I guess it’s open season for cops now…they now know they can shoot anyone they want without any consequences…what the hell has happened to this country?
Zombie Benghazi…
Well…how many damn time do you have to kill the Benghazi nonsense before it stays dead? This week, for a fifth time, a commission found that there was no wrongdoing at all in the Benghazi affair…and this should shut the repubs up for a final time but the damn issue is just like zombie…it just won’t stay dead. Just hours after this report was released you had ole Lindsay Graham spouting off that ‘this report is crap” and vowing to rebut every point that agreed with every other report….this is what you get when the right thinks it can create it’s own facts…even when presented with the truth from many sources, if it doesn’t agree with their political spin they can’t believe it or won’t believe it…and will continue to spend yours and my tax dollars to continue with their fantasy “investigation” until…cripes I don’t know where the until even is…what can make delusional people abandon their delusion? Not sure…but, I hope it happens soon…geez…
November 24th
Well…it was an okay day yesterday and I made a little cash so that was cool…but, the effects of the volunteering lasted most of the day so I didn’t get anything done….slept okay last night since I didn’t sleep Sat night but still no dreams…oh, well…just can’t believe that it has been raining since yesterday afternoon…it will be a good thing that all of th snow will be gone but it is supposed to snow again over the next few days so still no bike…but, I may be able to get back out later in the week..can’t wait….not much to do today…going to have lunch with T but that is about it…want to clean the kitchen before cooking on thurs but if I don’t get it done, there is always Friday…more later….
Jeb now?
Well…do we really have to entertain that there will be another Bush running for president? It just makes my skin crawl after the debacle of ole GW that the repubs don’t have anyone else who is more qualified that another Bush…and ole Jeb is portraying himself as a “self-made man” when he has used the same family connections the GW used to tout his qualifications when it is well known that neither of these guys has done anything on their own…in fact, most of the businesses that ole Jeb has been involved with have ended up being seized by the government and many of the execs have gone to jail just as ole Jeb has bailed out of them….I wonder why he has been able to get away scott free from all of the messes he has left behind? Can you say connections? Just don’t even want to think about the wreck this country would be after another Bush craps all over it…geez…
November 23rd
Well…it was an okay day yesterday but I am sore today..it was fun doing the volunteer work last night but standing for 5 hours is new to my muscles but the comfy shoes made a difference…and my voice is shot after doing some selling…didn’t sleep much and I feel it this morning, too, and I am looking forward to a relaxing day with only one thing to do…watching the F1 race right now so this one is going to be short…more later…
Okay..it’s late in the day and I’m back to do a few more sentences and maybe another one..it has been a long day…still tired from yesterday and not sleeping much and having to go out and run a few errands today…I did get the top down for a few miles during the errands and that was cool…and it is nice that it is raining pretty hard so the snow will be off the trails and I may be able to ride tomorrow…okay, that’s it…
Still delusional…
Well…with the things that have happened this week in politics, I thought I’d just remind everyone here just how delusional the repubs have become…let’s start with the lawsuit agianst Obama for delaying the employer mandate in Obamacare…something his administration had every right to do…and the delusional thing is that ole GW did the same thing with Medicare Part D when that was just being implemented…didn’t see any lawsuits or bitching from the repubs then…or any from the dems either since we understand that you have to change things on the fly sometimes…and the next delusion is the fact that what Obama is doing on immigration is not the unconstitutional/unlawful outrage that the delusional repubs are screaming about…in fact, every president since Eisenhower have done exactly the same thing….something like 49 times presidents have used their correct power to do something on immigration where the congress has neglected it duty to “pass something” as Obama said last week….I wonder when the adult repubs will step up and stop being delusional? Oh, that’s right, there are no adults left over there…geez…
