Well…I find the recent effort by ole Mitt’s campaign to ‘humanize” him by putting out ads that says he cares about all Americans laughable and such a transparent lie that I really don’t know what they are thinking….and then they roll him out to do interviews where he is proud that 100% of children in Mass have health insurance through Romneycare…but he sees no conflict with his stated promise that he will repeal Obamacare if he is elected throwing millions of children out into the cold with healthcare. Is this guy just stupid or has he no core? I am astounded that anyone still listens to this liar…geez…

Well…I still feel pretty crappy for another day and I know now that it is a bug…but that doesn’t help…maybe I’ll take the day off today and just veg to try to get over it…but it is going to be such a nice day that I may want to take a drive in the car…I did get the grocery shopping done and made a pork loin in the slow cooker so I don’t need to cook today…okay….heading back to the couch for water and a little rest…more later…
One more short one on fact checkers…
Well…this one struck me as I read the angst in the fact checker sphere when the stats say they have fact checked the repubs more than the dems in this election cycle…with one of them going so far to say they have put a moratorium on fact checking Michelle Bachmann since everything she says is a lie and it skews the statistics…but, I think there is is a very simple reason for this discrepancy between the two parties…the repubs just lie more! The dems still try to tell the truth and use actual arithmetic to analyze budget plans while the entire right wing world is based on faith and belief that things are so when they are not…reinforced by a right wing media that allows and even encourages the lies…I have never seen a campaign like Romney’s where the lie has the same weight as the truth…geez…
Okay…did you think I could go a whole day without ole Mitt?
Well…sitting here waiting for the Tigers game to start and read an interesting thing that ole Mitt said while talking to some small businessmen in Ohio today…while he was talking to them about his tax plan he said “don’t expect your taxes to go down much…and we are going to close some loopholes by reducing deductions for individuals..” Now, to me, this sounds just like the plan that he has adamantly said is not his tax plan…to lower taxes on the rich and taking away deductions from the middle class to pay for them. It was funny when some of the people that were interviewed after the speech started to understand that if Romney does what he promised in the speech…they will end up paying more in taxes…and they were confused that the independent analysis of ole Mitt’s plans were right…I think there may be cracks in the small business constituency that ole Mitt is depending on…and none too soon…geez…
Kamikaze squirrels and Disney butterflies…
Well…as you know I’ve been really wrapped up in the election stuff over the past few months and that has dominated my postings here and I am starting to feel that toxicity in my life so today I am going to change it up and go back to one of my favorite topics, trail weirdness, since it really was weird on the trail today. I have been feeling a little under the weather for the past week and have taken it easy on the bike..but, today, I am feeling a little better so I decided to get some sprints in and a really strange thing happened…almost 30 squirrels and chipmunks must have run out in front of me like they were on a kamikaze mission, just missing the front tire as they did…but, one of the chipmunks was not so lucky…I caught him by the tail and he flipped about a foot in the air in a really cool looking back somersault….as he flipped, he kept running so when he hit the ground he just shot off into the woods and disappeared…one of the neatest things I’ve seen in a while. Then, as I was leaving my last water stop at the park, I was just crawling along enjoying the colors when a swarm of 25 or so orange and black butterflies swooped in and flew around me for about 50 feet; circling me like they were trying to figure out what the heck I was….after about 15 seconds, they just exploded away from me and into the air…looking like something you’d see in a Disney animated film….days like this really do make me smile…

Well…it was another regular, boring day yesterday and I felt like crap all day with no energy…even skipped playing pool I was so tired…I’m sure this one is a bug but the 2 hours of sleep didn’t help at all…not much better sleep last night so I guess I’ll have to live with it for a while…sitting here and feeling about the same right now and I want to go back to the couch and get ready to muster the energy to do the grocery run this morning and then the normal stuff…so, I think I’ll do that and come back later for more of this…
Just a reminder…
Well…just a short one to remind people why ole Mitt is not going to reveal more detail from his economic plan…he doesn’t need to, just look back at ole GW’s plan and you will see everything that ole Mitt has to offer…tax cuts for the rich, exploding deficits, and much more income equality….let’s repeat that…tax cuts for the rich, exploding deficits, and more income equality…I should repeat it again but you get the point…geez….
More nonsense…
Well…I am finding it to be fun to watch the slow motion destruction of the Romney campaign and they just keep sticking their feet in it…today, we had ole Paul Ryan in Ohio trying to win over undecided voters with the old canard that being against gay marriage is a “universal value” that everyone in the country believes and that’s why he supports legislation against it…I wonder if old Paul understands the word universal? The gist of it is that universal means that everyone understands it in the same way…but the polls here in the states show that more than 50% of the people are okay with gay marriage…I guess he means that among his troglodyte followers it is a universal value but for people who think that equal rights mean equal rights it is not universal by any stretch of the imagination. Keep it up Paul, every time you open your mouth Obama gets farther in the lead…
September 25th
Well…it was a long day with the bike ride into a 25 mile an hour wind and I am sore today…didn’t sleep for crap again last night so I think I’ll stop the melatonin that I have been trying…there were dreams but no ones that I liked so I won’t relay them here…I still have that damn lung crap going on and no energy so today is going to be a rest day unless something drastic happens to make me feel better…and today the sneezing has gotten really bad which is even more tiring…I did get the oil changed in the car yesterday and I am curious to see if it helps the oil flow to the lash adjusters and makes the tapping noise go away…we’ll see…more later…
No one can be this stupid…
Well…a couple of things came up in the news this morning that raises questions about how stupid ole Mitt really is…and this is such a good one…as you probably know, there was an incident on Ann Romney’s plane the other day with smoke in the cabin that forced an emergency landing…no one was hurt but poor Ann’s eyes were watering…and guess what ole Mitt’s response was? His response was to question why aircraft don’t have roll down windows so outside air can be let into the cabin…you must be laughing at this one…I know I did…let’s get a nice 500 mile an hour wind into the cabin after everything is pushed out the window by the pressure…what an ignorant idiot…there really is outside air in all aircraft cabins…it is called an air mask and they have one for every seat on the plane…oh, that’s right…the Romneys never fly commercial so they have never seen the instructions for how to use the air masks…or they let their servants listen to them…not sure which….geez…
