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…

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…
November 22nd
Well…it was an okay day yesterday and I won at pool so that was cool…but it was a long day with going out to have a couple with G after pool so I am a little worn out today…slept crappy again…and again…oh, well…didn’t get anything done yesterday and today looks like the same since I have to be down at the Van Andel around 5 to help T out with some volunteer work…that is going to make this a long day so I guess I’ll take a nap this aft….it is raining outside right now and the roads were a little slick going out to Meijers but with it warming up, it should be just rain in a little while…T is out at the
Santa parade with her work and I think I’ll take a look at that on tv and see if I can see her…not much to do today..going to just watch sports and relax…and try to get another one of these out…more later….
November 21st
Well…it was an okay day yesterday but I didn’t do much with all of the snow….slept okay last night but a little fitfully but that is normal so I’m not going to complain….didn’t get up too early today so maybe there will be no need for a nap today….I do need to get some cleaning done to compliment the kitchen floor work but, with it being pool day, I’m not sure how much I’ll do..did have a funny thing happen to me this morning….my next door neighbor knocked on my door and invited me to her in-laws for Thanksgiving if I had no place to go…that was pretty nice of her….but, as you know, I do a turkey every t-day and I am looking forward to making it and watching football…T asked me to help volunteer at the Griffins game tomorrow night for the Salvation Army since she couldn’t get enough people to do it….so I am going to be working there at 5 until the end of the game…even going to be bell ringing at the end of it as the people file out….might be fun…and it’s for a good cause…more later…
Tom Coburn is a terrorist….
Well…I thought I’d seen it all but I guess not…with the battle over immigration policy raging in DC and the do nothing repubs frothing at the mouth that Obama is going to do their jobs for them, the latest from the senator from crazy, Tom Coburn goes way over the top to overt incitement to terrorism. Today, ole Tom came out and said that “they’re going to go nuts (talking about his supporters)…you could see instances of anarchy…you could see violence” tacitly approving that these are tactics that are perfectly appropriate as a response to a political dispute…one of the repubs own making. If I was more of a conspiracy theorist, I might think that this has been the plan all along…to gin up some reason to get his crazy assed followers to use their “second amendment remedies” to destroy what this country is all about…that political disputes are to be solved peacefully; that the transfer of power after elections is done peacefully without the crap that these folks are pushing…since they hate the fact that government needs to work to make a country work….they are doing everything in their power to ensure that it won’t work and then when their inflammatory rhetoric results in violence, they will stand back and say “see, I told you Obama is going too far” and the people agree with us…no matter that they won this last election with 19% of the vote of the people. It just like the gangster from the movies that says “gee, nice country you got there…it would be a shame if anything happens to it…” Inciting people to violence for political ends is the definition of terrorism…you should be ashamed Coburn…geez…
November 20th
Well…it was an okay day yesterday and I slept okay, too…that, in itself, is weird….and I had dreams with a 65 Cadillac convertible and Hugh Hefner in it…not the old, dried up current one but the swinging one from the 60’s….and, I was good again last night so I feel okay today…have to do the grocery run this morning and take back the bottles and cans that have been around here for the past year…only about 3 bucks worth but they won’t be in my kitchen anymore…I did get the kitchen floor scrubbed with a scrub brush yesterday and even did the cupboard doors…today should be the countertops and sink along with getting more resumes out…not much to do today…other than cleaning, I still just want to hibernate with the cold and snow….more later…
Oh…one last thing…Joe Walsh turns 67 today…so, Happy Birthday Joe!
Immigration…..again…
Well…with all the howls from the right that any movement by Obama on immigration will be “the biggest abuse of power in the history of the world” and “an impeachable offense” I am laughing and laughing again at how stupid these folks are…or they can’t read or have really stupid staffs…if they didn’t, they would realize that two years ago the supreme court pre-approved many of the things that Obama plans to do…and that same ruling gave the executive branch wide leeway to do what they see fit on immigration….so, again, it doesn’t really matter what Obama does, if he breathes, “impeachment!” If he talks “Impeachment!” there is just no credibility that the right has these days since they refuse to do anything to deal with the problems with immigration…Obama has given the repubs two years to try to fix this mess and they have just sat there and bloviated without doing anything…so, it’s on their heads…I really do hope they sue Obama or impeach him over the immigration changes he will announce tomorrow…and then I will laugh when they get laughed out of court with the court citing the Arizona supreme court decision…what a bunch of maroons….geez…
