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…
The facts are in…
Well…as you know, I have been doing wedding stuff for the past few days and haven’t really had any desire to do any political stuff but today is different…there have finally been studies done on the ALEC pushed economic policies of cutting budgets, tax cuts for the rich, and deregulation, and guess what? All of that right wing conservative nonsense is just that, nonsense…and the facts are in to prove it. In all states that have implemented those policies, including Michigan, growth is slower, jobs are scarcer, and budgets are in disarray. Take the state that has implemented more of this nonsense than any other, Kansas, who trails the entire country in job creation and has a huge hole in its budget that is a direct result of tax cuts for the wealthy and business that shifted the burden to the lower and middle class. And now, who does the idiot governor Brownback blame? Obama, of course…and tax increases that are only figments of Brownback’s imagination…and the funny thing is that the deficit is falling faster than ever under Obama and the federal government ran a 120 billion dollar surplus last month. I want this moron to tell me how federal policies that apply across the country only hurts red states? I hope we can use these studies to hammer these idiots this fall…but, most of the country is not fact-based so maybe it won’t work…geez…
May 11th
Well…up early and getting ready to head back to GR…had so much fun at the wedding yesterday and, as always, we were the fun table…it was a no drama day with a great ceremony and reception….got back here about 10:30 and crashed out early after quite a few brandy manhattans…feel okay this morning, though, but the allergies are acting up and I am completely plugged up….going to get moving back to GR in a few minutes but have to have coffee first…more later…
May 10th
Well…it was an okay day yesterday and the dinner was really good…had some fish and chips that were cooked perfectly and the rest of the dinners were great, too…I think the Bass ale might have had something to do with that….slept okay but I am still sore today…so, I think it must be the bed and that will be fixed when I get home tomorrow….I am starting to get excited for the wedding this aft…it has been such a pleasant couple of days and so low key with no drama that I am relaxed myself…I am looking forward to getting home tomorrow, though…just not as good of a traveler as I used to be…..more later….
Afternoon update…
Well…it has been a low key day today and there was nothing scheduled but we did go over to my son’s house for a while in the afternoon to just hang out…and now I’m getting ready to out for dinner at 7 at an Irish pub near here and then will make it an early night….I am still really sore from something and I need to make sure I take something for it before I go to dinner…might be the new bed here but I think it feels more like bike riding pain…oh, well….still have leftover pizza in the fridge for a snack for later so I’m going to keep dinner light…I did get a gift of some men’s care products from my son’s wife since it is the first time we’ve met…kind of a cool thing…
May 9th
Well…it was an okay day yesterday…long but okay and it was fun to see everyone….slept okay but had weird dreams here in the hotel about an infestation of moths that were everywhere….the rehearsal went well and I finally got to meet my oldest son’s wife…didn’t get the chance to talk to her much but I think we are all going out to dinner tonight so there will be a better chance to talk….today looks like a nothing day where we are just going to hang out…haven’t even gotten to coffee yet but I have a coffee maker here in the room and I am going to make some in a minute…have leftover pizza in the fridge for breakfast so I really don’t have to do anything for a while…more later…
