Ha? No global warming problems here

I have spent many days lately traveling back and forth between northern New York and Vermont to help freinds deal with this.

">Rain, rain and more rain.

This has been going on for 7 weeks and we are unsure when it will get normal, maybe we need to get used to a new normal.

My hope is that as more of this happens and the Dearthers and Birthers and Birchers and Bigoters and Afraiders and Stupiders and Ignoranters and Notlikemers and... you get the point...

Point of view is relevant and telling...

Alan Simpson tells the truth

Void of rhetoric and emotion is rare 2day

What you are about to see is how reasonable and rational people speak and think and most of what we read today are only snippets and sound bites that a the hallmark of bomb throwers and fire starters. They are not rational people. They have hate for a president in their hearts, empty as they are, and have lost the ability to reason logically and rationally. His restrain from going postal on the children is almost palpable. I think back to a friend of his in the Illinois legislature who said of his arrival in DC " He'll cut them off at the knees so quick, they'll think they were born short" and I know he has angered many of us, but he also has constraints put upon himself by the office that he holds and I believe he is doing his best.

Bury the leading line

This bullshit about doing away with Medicare and Medicade is just a ruse to bury the fact that republicans are going to cave to prevent a gov't shutdown from their T partey folks and most of the blog world has siezed it as fact.

keep your eyes on the ball folks.

Think about it. Piss of all the retired and soon to be retired?

Talk about the t parteey being used? so are alot of folks on our side.

Hey! Let's all join a union

This would be my union...
We could set the parameters by industry so that no matter what size company you work for you could join. Just like credit unions.

Because I believe that this whole adgenda of Republicans has or will do more to point out the value of u nions to the American people as a way to group together and get a seat at the table alongside management and owners and when all of the folks who went out today to maech in protest if is happening and find out that the MSM went, meh on it, will just be emboldened to continue. Nobody likes being snubbed.

Least those that do who are "educated and polite and are elites". snark!

Another victim in politics. I see a pattern, do you? Lets see how much traction this gets. Poor guy, after all these years he still feels what, abused and downtrodden, ca mon, he is a U.S. Senator. Poor me does not cut it with me.

where do the despots land?

Where are all of the leaders, be them dictators or Kings, going to land when all is said and done once they are overthrown by their countrymen? Pay attention. I am.

Imagine graduating high school at 22 years old?

I comented to this post with this and i thinks it makes sense, do you?

Let us get the word out nationwide today, email and call all of your fellow bloggers and twitter pals.

Ramp it up...

We are just average

Think of the items we use every day and value that against the notion that we as a country do not manufacture anything anymore. Now, think of the items you use every day. Me:

mattress, get on at night and off in morning, U.S. made, to expensive to ship from China. Most likely the sheets and blanket and bedspread come from overseas.

coffee make, Kuerig single cup. USA
Toilet, Kohler-USA
sink, Kohler-USA
Lazy Boy, USA
TV, ?
batteries for remote, you know its not us
shower, shower head, China, piping to get water to me, USA
towel, depending on quality, anywhere
tootbrush, China
toothpaste, USA
razor, China
shave cream, USA
TP-Georgia Pacific
remote start for car, anywhere
Car, USA
road to work, duh
door to work, USA
glass in door at work, USA
cement floor I walk to get to my desk, USA and al it's ingrediants and topping(tile) USA
Desk, USA
work computer, anywhere
keyboard, anywhere
mouse, anywhere
mouse pad, anywhere
coffee mug, China
wall clock to check when it is time to go home, anywhere
paper in printer, USA
telephone to contact customers, anywhere
cars on lot to sell, Mexico, USA, Turkey and Canada.
pens to write order, duh!
printer to do paperwork, anywhere

and so it goes. my point is don't buy into the fallacy thatwe do not mfg stuff anymore, we do and we do as much and more than most countries and the small simple stuff thateasy to ship is made overseas ands the stuff that cost alot to ship, mattresses, plastic gas cans, trailers, windows, doors, shingles, bricks, boards, tires, metal anything, fences, is made here and alot of it. Oh and dangerous chemicals are definetly made here because they are very expensive to ship, wink wink Koch's!! so we are not unlike most countries around the world, we just have a very poor self impression of ourselves. Oh? some people like us like we are. I do not. Do u.

Give credit where it's due

I know it sounds cliche' but this is a song that will live a long time on radio and in our heads.




I was born in the arms of imaginary friends.
Free to roam, made a home out of everywhere I've been

Then you come on crashing in
Like the realest thing
Try my best to understand
All that your love can bring

Oh, half of my heart's got a grip on the situation
Half of my heart takes time
Half of my heart's got a right mind
To tell you that I can't keep lovin' you, can't keep lovin' you
Oh, with half of my heart

I was made to believe I'd never love somebody else
Made a plan, stay the man who can only love himself

Lonely was the song I sang
'Til the day you came
Showing me another way
And all that my love can bring

Oh, half of my heart's got a grip on the situation
Half of my heart takes time
Half of my heart's got a right mind
To tell you that I can't keep lovin' you, can't keep lovin' you
Oh, with half of my heart, with half of my heart

Your faith is strong, but I can only fall short for so long
Down the road, later on
You will hate that I never gave more to you
Than half of my heart

But I can't stop lovin' you, I can't stop lovin' you
I can't stop lovin' you, I can't stop lovin' you
Can't stop lovin' you with half of my
Half of my heart
Oh, half of my heart

Half of my heart's got a real good imagination
Half of my heart's got you
Half of my heart's got a right mind to tell you
That half of my heart won't do

half of my heart is a shotgun wedding
To a bride with a paper ring
And half of my heart is the part of a man
Who's never truely loved anything

Half of my heart, oh half of my heart
Half of my heart, oh half of my heart
Half of my heart, oh half of my heart
Half of my heart
