Well…still feeling like crap and I hope it’s not turning into pneumonia…have been coughing all morning and that is how it started last time…three weeks of a low level infection and then it exploded overnight to where it put me in the hospital…can’t afford to have that happen…or, it could just be really bad allergies…who knows? All I do know is that I am tired of feeling crappy…it was an okay day yesterday but didn’t do too much, not even much cleaning but that’s okay…I have next week to clean before t-day…I am looking forward to the first F-1 practice from the new track in Texas this morning and since it is Friday, I don’t have to work out…so I am going to go get some coffee and read the papers…more later…

Where’s my gift?
Well…I was thinking while I was out on the bike and this one popped into my head: “Where’s my gift?” If the only reason anyone voted for Obama is that they got “gifts”; according to ole Mitt, then, where the heck is my gift? Is it in the mail? Is it going to be delivered down the chimney? And, what is the gift? I hope it’s a pony! Yeah, sounds pretty ridiculous doesn’t it? But, that is what the rich think…they don’t think that being able to pay 14% on their income is a “gift”, it is a right since they were able to buy laws that allow them to treat their income as different from yours and mine. But when anyone else gets anything that will make their life better like health care, or a living wage it is a “gift” to be reviled and those that get that health care just takers that have no place in society…what a bunch of crap…just go away, Mitt so we don’t have to look at that plastic smile anymore..geez…

Well…another day…more boredom and I am starting to get tired of it but what else is there? I have been good for the past few days but I still feel crappy so I now know it’s allergies or a bug…oh, I said that yesterday…didn’t do much except get the stuff for t-day dinner and clean a little around here….okay, coffee is done and I do need to read the papers…be back in a while for more…
Okay..got the papers done and the workout in so now I’m back here for a few…still having coolant problems with the car but thought I’d try something new today with taking the pressure off the system…who knows? Not much to do today…waiting for the temp to come up so I can get a bike ride in and I should get rid of the leaning tower of newspapers but I’m not sure I’ll do that until tomorrow…might just make this be a veg out day….I will come back for more later…there are so many targets out there I should be doing ten of these a day…
Romney really is delusional…
Well…I am quite surprised…no, not really, about a new tape that came out today about ole Mitt where he was talking to some of his rich buddies on the reasons why he lost the election…you know what the reason really was, in ole Mitt’s mind anyway? It was the “gifts” he gave to minorities, women, and the young….yep, ole Mitt still believes what he said in the “47%” tape…and that is that people will vote for the president because they get “things” from him. Like the young being able to stay on their parents insurance…like women being able to control their own bodies, and minorities being respected for the human beings they are; not pawns to be used in political campaigns to be ignored once the election is over. What a piece of crap ole Mitt is…I hope that Obama ignores this idiot and the cynical, stupid ideas he espouses…he has no place at the table in modern America…geez…

Well…it was a day yesterday and I got a bunch of stuff done around here and I was really, really good last night so I should feel better than I do…this must be the residual of the bug I’ve had for three weeks now since I am still coughing…but three weeks? That points me to allergies but with it being so cold, how can that be? Oh, well…slept okay last night and I am liking the ear plugs that I have been using for the past few days…seem to sleep better, still toss and turn all night but it seems to be less than before…I do need to continue the cleaning today and go out for groceries for the t-day meal since the turkey will take at least 4 or 5 days to thaw and I don’t want to have it icy when it goes in the brine next wed…..so, I am going to get moving…well…back to the couch for a few and then start the car to warm up since it looks like an ice block…
Boycott Papa John’s…
Well…the craziness continues on the right with their loss in the election and the latest ceo to take it out on his employees is the idiot that owns Papa John’s pizza….his is so crazy about the election that he has said that he will cut the hours of all of his employees to make them part time so he doesn’t have to offer health care under Obamacare….saying that it will bankrupt his company if he doesn’t…this is just more crap in the war on workers where these out of touch rich idiots….especially this one who lives in a 45,000 square foot house with a garage that holds over 20 cars, use the election to throw a hissy fit since their outdated ideas were soundly rejected by the country. Let’s set the record straight…offering health care for all of his employees would only cost about 5 million dollars a year…this, from a company whose NET profits will reach close to 60 million dollars this year…so, just another lie from a smug, privileged 1% er who only cares about more and more for himself. So, I call for a boycott of Papa John’s until this idiot turns into a human being and does the right thing…I’ll never buy another pizza from them….geez…
November 13th
Well…up early again today…5 am came way too quickly this morning but I think I may have slept okay since I did have dreams that included Bill Clinton and lots of people that I used to work with…still really tired but at least the sore throat is almost gone and maybe I’ll feel better later today…there is snow on the ground this morning and I may have to start thinking about putting the winter tires on the car but I don’t want to admit that winter is coming….I did get the chance to see T for a few minutes yesterday and that was nice but too short…I can’t believe how busy she is….not much to do today… I am going to clean and write some but that is about it…I really do miss having the Red Wings playing since that always took my mind of the world for a couple of hours…
The secessionist nonsense…
Well…are the republicans crazy or what? In 15 states that are majority repubs, there are movements to petition the federal government to secede from the US….yep, you heard it here, just because they lost an election to the socialist Kenyan, these idiots want to leave the union and establish their own little countries…and, the funny thing is, all of these states are net welfare queens, getting much more back from the federal government than they pay in taxes. So, I guess I say let them secede…it would make the blue states that support them much more solvent and we could then afford college for everyone, healthcare for everyone, and balanced budgets for everyone in the new Progressive States of America. What these idiots are also not seeing is the fact that if they do secede, say goodbye to social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, and the entire social safety net that the majority of the red state citizens depend on….so, goodbye, don’t let the door hit you in the ass on the way out…geez…
November 12th
Well…just getting ready to have my coffee and read the papers but thought I’d do this first…it was an okay day yesterday and I think it was the last one that will be warm enough to go out on the bike in a t-shirt…the car is still giving me problems and it looks like I’ll have to take it in…oh, well…it is going to be a no cocktail week this week and starting with last night, I am starting to feel okay…the bug is finally starting to leave me alone and my throat is not as sore as it was so that is okay…alright, am going to have my coffee before it gets cold…back later for more…
What a bunch of crybabies…
Well…I just have to laugh at the ceo’s on the right who have threatened to fire their employees and in some cases have started to lay them off after the Obama win…let’s not forget that these guys have done much better in the last 4 years of Obama than the previous 8 under ole GW, with corp profits at an all time high last year. So, this appears to me to just be a temper tantrum of the spoiled rich and they are mad that their employees didn’t listen to them, that they don’t have the power that the right has been telling them they have. I specifically want to address the meme that it is over taxation and regulation that is causing these layoffs, especially since it is the new talking point that the right has taken up and has used Murray energy as the poster boy…you remember Murray Energy don’t you? It is the coal company that has so little regard for the safety of it’s workers that it regularly kills some of them….and now the owner has started to lay off his miners, saying it is because of the Obama administration’s hatred of coal. This even made me laugh more since it is the free market that the repubs say they worship that is killing the demand for coal with the collapse of natural gas prices due to increased drilling and new methods of extraction. So, what should a company do to meet it’s energy needs? Continue to pay 40% more in cost as corporate welfare to the coal companies? These guys are just so pathetic that I can’t believe it…yeah, I can…just a bunch of crybabies that have been taught the country belongs to them and the rest of use might be allowed to live in it if it is okay with them…not anymore…geez…
