Well…I am trying to stop laughing as I write this but it is not easy…if you haven’t heard, today is tea party revolution day…the day where the tea party says 10-30 million people will show up in DC and overthrow the government and return to “constitutional” principles…okay, still laughing at the irony of the whole thing…that you have to ignore the constitution to save it…kinda like the old Vietnam saying that you had to “destroy the village to save it”….but, nevermind that…I just loved the screenshot of the turnout at the designated gathering point….by my count from the shot, 10-30 million people have turned into 18-20 people…unless the rest of them are camouflaged and just waiting for the right time to reveal themselves….okay…still laughing…this is just the definition of delusions of grandeur….that’s enough for now….
May 16th
Well…it was a total veg day yesterday since I had absolutely no energy…hope it is from not eating enough but I think part of it is the infection I still have in my tooth…it has moved into the glands under my jaw and it hurts to swallow now but I think the tooth is getting a little better…it would be nice to have some antibiotics to help it finally finish up but with no doctor, that is not going to happen. Slept okay last night and it appears that I feel a little better today and it may be the huge ham I cooked yesterday and the constant eating that I have been doing since…not much to do today…it is too damn cold to get out on the bike until later and I may even skip again today and just wait til tomorrow to go out….I do have pool today and it will be fun to get out and do something after being in all week….more later…
Go Harry…
Well…today is not much better than yesterday but I thought I’d better do something here or none of you will keep coming back here…so, I thought I’d touch on the new constitutional amendment being proposed by Harry Reid that will reverse the wrongheaded supreme court decisions in Citizens United and McCutcheon that allows unlimited dark money into political campaigns. He specifically said what we all believe…at least the sane of us…that corporations are not people and money is not speech….both of these decisions reversed a hundred years of precedent and negated laws that are really necessary if we are to protect our democracy from the corrosive effect of money as evidenced by the Kochs trying to buy themselves the senate; to ensure their dirty energy profits forever. I know that this amendment is tilting at windmills…the chance of its passage is remote at best…but the political use of championing it is necessary to put the repubs on the spot for supporting this unlimited money…and their constantly kissing the Kochs asses…geez…
May 15th
Well…running late again today but it is because the computer decided to do all the updates that have been waiting…35 of them and it took almost a half hour to get that done….in the middle of my workout right now but I am going to skip the bike ride today…way too cold…still had the phone on Detroit weather and thought it was 60 degrees, but when I reset to GR, it is only 43 degrees and raining so that is not something I want to do….slept okay last night so I feel a little better today and, with doing the grocery run, I feel better to have food again…bought another ham that will take me through next week and help the fact that I’m not eating enough…not much to do today…finish the workout and then get lunch ready…then probably take the aft off and get caught up on “Fargo”…it’s stating to grow on me and now I want to know where it goes…more later…
Wasted days and wasted nights….
Well…it has been another wasted day and it looks like another wasted night….and I have just not had any motivation or energy to really get moving today….my tooth still hurts and maybe that is taking it out of me….I have been looking for topics today…no, not really…have just been wallowing around here today and I think that makes it worse…oh, well…I am going to try to find the Griffins game again tonight and watch that since there is nothing on tv…just watched all of “Silicon Valley” on the Plex server and that got me through the aft without too much introspection or anguish…so, I think I’ll do that now….no more later…
May 14th
Well…it was a strange day yesterday but I got a few things done so maybe that’s something…running late today since I just can’t get motivated to do this, or anything else for that matter…haven’t heard from T since a short text over the weekend so maybe, finally, that is done…16 years…that’s really a long time for something to end with nothing other than smoke disappearing in the breeze but maybe it’s fitting…who knows? Didn’t sleep for crap last night and these days of 4 to 6 hours is starting to take a toll on my energy level….and it’s cold again so back to half thermasuit for the ride today…might have to take a day off in the next week or so since it is becoming work again and that may lead to taking more days off that I can’t afford…not much to do today….need to clean around here again and get the kitchen presentable but, again, no motivation is going to make that a little hard….more later…,
Why does anyone listen to Karl Rove?
Well…ole turdblossom strikes again and makes me wonder why anyone still listens to this idiot. If you remember old Karl calling Ohio for Mitt when everyone else, even fox news, had called the state for Obama….now this abject idiot comes out yesterday and questions if Hillary is qualified to be president since she has “brain damage” and was in the hospital for 30 days last year….first, it was four days and second, the “brain damage’ was a slight concussion she got from bumping her head when she fainted from dehydration….even for the right who have hated the Clintons since Bill was elected, this is way, way out there…making up lies about someone’s health to get the buzz started that maybe she is too old and unhealthy to be elected if she runs…I think they have been watching “Doctor Who” too much since this is exactly what the doctor did to the British prime minister who just killed a spaceship of retreating aliens…but he did it with just 6 words…”don’t you think she looks tired?” Crawl back in your hole Karl…geez…
May 13th
Well…running really late today and I think the crash after the up of the wedding has hit…and hard…just can’t get moving today and the coffee is not helping so I guess it will be all willpower today…slept okay last night, I think, but not eating enough for two days in a row has left me with no energy at all and no desire to correct it….it would be nice to just go back to the couch and veg for the day but I do have some things to get done so I guess I’ll do them…the pain in my teeth has moved to the lower jaw today and that might be part of the tiredness…intractable pain just takes a lot out of you…not much to do today…I do need to run some errands and do some work around here but I’m hoping to get that done before noon and take some time to relax this aft…more later…
Trying to think…
Well…have been working around here today trying to get caught up on the stuff that I put off before the wedding with some luck..not much, but some…I did have a topic but forgot it..oh, maybe a short one about the Kochs again? One thing that all of us that are on the side of rationality have to do when the right tries to equate the Kochs spending on trying to buy themselves a government to the contributions of people like Soros on the left is just this: in the last election cycle the Kochs spent 411 million dollars while George Soros spent about 4 million….which of these is more? 411 million or 4 million? Are they equal? Not in any way shape or form…we on the left need to keep talking about this, this purchasing of the government by the Kochs…they are starting to flinch from the sunlight like any good vampire….geez…
May 12th
Well…it was an okay day yesterday but I was in recovery mode for the whole day…even slept in until almost 8 this morning since I was just worn out…no dreams to speak of but that was okay….it was nice to have a day to just veg out after the three days over in Livonia….still feel tired today so there may not be much going on…I do have a bunch of stuff to do around here but I’m not sure how much of it I’ll get done…still need to work out and get the bike ride in but my energy level is so low that I will really have to drag myself out…not much to do today…oh, I’ve already said what I m going to do…so, nevermind…
