Monday, Monday

Today is National Do Something Nice Day.  Seems to me we should do something nice everyday, but maybe today we are supposed to do something extra special nice.  How about doing something nice for your self like sleeping late?  No wait, I do that everyday. Ok treat your self to a movie.  Hey great idea, I’m going to see The Martian.  Talk to ya later.

Oh I did come across this picture of the first time The Beatles visited Abby Road.

Stay tuned for future adventures.

Rare Saturday Edition

The United States has far more mass shootings than any other country in world.  The TeaNut Republicans want to blame this on mental illness.  The real deal is they want to blame anything other than guns. The problem with that statement is that other countries also have mental illness problems, but they don’t have the same problem with mass shootings. Of course the simple answer is that they don’t have the availability of guns like we do.  

The reason we need to talk about guns and our warped culture about guns is that the key word here is SHOOTINGS, not mass stabbings, mass bombings, mass poisonings or mass being bludgeoned in the head with a heavy object.  

I realize that the United States is a very young country compared to the rest of the world, but don’t you think it is time we grew up and quit playing with guns.

It appears that Douglas County Sheriff, John (Shoot First, Ask Questions Later) Hanlin who is handling the mass shootings in Oregon this past week is a certified gun nut.  He posted a video on his Facebook page after the Sandy Hook school shootings that said the shooting was a hoax.  The real hoax is this asshole being called someone who cares about his fellow citizens. I am pretty sure he believes guns make you safer.  .   

I have no idea who wrote this.  I found it on Facebook, but I felt it deserved to be passed along.

 "Or, hey, how about we treat every young man who wants to buy a gun like every woman who wants to get an abortion -- mandatory 48-hr waiting period, parental permission, a note from his doctor proving he understands what he's about to do, a video he has to watch about the effects of gun violence, an ultrasound wand up the ass (just because). Let's close down all but one gun shop in every state and make him travel hundreds of miles, take time off work, and stay overnight in a strange town to get a gun. Make him walk through a gauntlet of people holding photos of loved ones who were shot to death, people who call him a murderer and beg him not to buy a gun. It makes more sense to do this with young men and guns than with women and health care, right? I mean, no woman getting an abortion has killed a room full of people in seconds, right?"

And this tweet:

 
It seems I was a little bit hasty in jumping on Pope Frankie the Sissy for meeting with Kim (Homophobic Hick) Davis.  He didn’t meet with her privately. Little Kimmy and her low-life, lying piece-of-shit lawyer Mathew ( Look Up Shyster In The Dictionary And You Will Find My Picture ) Staver made up the story.  Probably what happened is that these two assholes were eating at Burger King when they saw the creepy Burger King mascot and thought he was the Pope.

Some of This, Some of That

Boneheads of the week.

Wisconsin TeaNut Republican Congressmoron Glen (I May Be Dumber Than Louie Gohmert) Grothman made this incredibly stupid statement this week in discussing why Congress should defund Planned Parenthood.   “As a guy, I could go to many clinics locally that have all the machines that one would need,”  Glennie pooh has never been married and obviously has an I.Q. to match his age of 60.  Glen begs the question, “how do these assholes get elected.”

Congressmoron Kevin (Open Mouth, Insert Foot) McCarthy went on the TV this week and inadvertently admitted that the whole Benghazi investigation was simply a political ploy to do damage to Hillary.  Little Kevin wants to be the new Speaker of the House, but I think now he will known as the Blabber Mouth of the House.  He is obviously kin to Joe (If My Lips Are Moving, I’m Lying) McCarthy, the king of 3D politics: Deceitful, Disingenuous, Duplicity.   

  

The media seems to have an obsession with polls and I think it is because they are lazy.  Polls are easy money, the media doesn’t have to do anything but reprint or rebroadcast something that someone else has done the work.  The problem is that not only are polls miss-leading, but they are simply speculation at best.  Also polls can be skewed to what ever result you would like by the questions they ask.

The one that really bugs me is the poll’s that say the country is going in the wrong direction. What the hell does that mean anyway?   In the first place there is any number of directions the country could be going in and this poll tells us nothing.  Exactly what direction would these people like the country to go in? Telling us it’s going in the wrong direction doesn’t give any answer or solution.

The country is actually always going forward because time is going forward.  As much as some people always want to talk about the good ole days, nothing goes backward. The religious wackos never want anything to go forward because that is progress.  For many years in early history the only people who could read were the priest and church leaders.  They didn’t want the minions out there being able to read because they might learn something and figure out they had been handed a line of bullshit.

The next time you hear some asshole TeaNut Republican say we want to take back the country, ask him how far back he wants to go?  The only people who have the right to talk about taking back the country are Native Americans.  Everybody else can STFU.

I don’t think much of the Catholic Church.  In fact I think they are more of a cult than church, but I have sorta liked Pope Frankie the Sissy because he has actually gone against some of their out dated thinking.  That is until I read where he met with Kim.  (Homophobic Hick) Davis.  He has been excommunicated from any positive thoughts I had about him.

Harrumping All Day

The religious right-wing wackos are doing their very best to take control of politics.  There are a number of times in history when these boneheads were running things and none of them were good.  The Inquisition, the Crusades, burning women at the stake, prohibition, just to name a few. These wackos think that their beliefs are superior to anyone else’s belief.  

Beliefs are not facts; they are just things that you perceive to be true.  There were many people who believed the world was flat but at no point in history was the world ever flat. There are people who believe the moon is made of cheese, that it is okay to treat animals cruelly and that it is okay to abuse other people.  I really don’t care about their beliefs as long as they don’t act on them in a way that is hurtful or detrimental to some one else.  I care about their behavior.

I am also very tired of the boneheads that go around telling everyone that they are a Christian as if that automatically makes them a good person. They seem to be the same ones that pray on facebook so everyone can see how religious they are.  They talk up the sanctity of marriage and then are constantly caught having affairs and getting divorced three of four times in their lives.  I don’t really care what you say, I care what you do. People can say anything. Most guilty people say they are innocent.  
 
All of this crap about religious persecution is just that: Crap.  You can pray in school. You can pray all day long. You just can’t pray over the public address system.  Just because some one has a different belief than you do, doesn’t affect your belief at all. What the religious right really wants is for everyone to believe in what they believe in. 
   

If everyone would simply follow the Golden Rule, the world would be a much better place.

Monday Musing

I am pretty sure the usual boneheads of the Republican TeaNut Party said something really stupid over the week-end.  I don’t know what, but since they are all still breathing I know they said something really stupid.  Anyway I wanted to write about something positive.

My sweetie and partner for these many years, Diana Meade has been re-tooling her website and it looks great.  She is one of the most creative people I have ever met.  She is a great artist and wonderful writer and this is her most recent video. Check out her website and look at some of the stuff she has painted.  She writes about creativity, art journaling and mixed media.

Please check out her website at www.energizeyourcreativity.com . 

On a local note, a new restaurant opened up here in Lufkin, Tex this past week so I decided to check it out.  It is called Moe’s Southwest Grill.  First of all the food was ok, but a little pricey for what you got which was pretty much a knock-off of Chipotle’s. As I stepped in the door I was greeted by seven or eight employees yelling at the top of their lungs, “Welcome to Moe’s.”  This would have been alright if I had been standing across the street, but not ten feet from them.

Then as I continued down the buffet line, they continued to yell right in my face their welcome to everyone who came in the door. As I ate I watched the other folks around me flinch every time they yelled at the next innocent person who came within shouting distance.  As I was leaving, some geeky little nerd who seemed to be the manager came in telling all the employees to be sure and shout welcome to Moe's really loud.

I have no idea of who the bonehead in their organization who came up with yelling in their customers face was a good idea, but for me it was extremely irritating and very rude.  The bottom line is Moe’s Southwest Grill will get NO MO of my money.

Friday's Soap Box

It is apparent that all TeaNut religious wacko Republicans take the Hypocrite oath. That is “Always say one thing and do another.”   Look at all of the bonehead politicians who ranted and whined about the Pope talking about climate change, but it is okay for them to bring religion into everything they talk about.

They talk about how we must save those poor little defenseless fetuses, but cut food stamps for actual children who don’t have enough to eat. They rave on about the importance of traditional marriage and then get divorced 4 or 5 times and have affairs. They love the Constitution right up until it doesn’t give them an excuse to be a racist or bigot and then they want to change it.  They love the Bible until the same thing happens.   

They all claim to be Pro-Life, but love the death penalty and are for war.  They are all for the rule of law until they don’t like the law. Kim (Homophobic Hick) Davis and Cliven (Deadbeat) Bundy are their poster kids on this one.  They don’t believe in climate change, but believe the earth is less than ten thousand years old. 

One of their main mantras is what a terrible President Obama has been.  Let’s take a look at that.

Of course they know better than to bring up George Warmonger Bush, well most of them, evidently Jeb (At Least I’m Not Neil) Bush didn’t get that memo, so they go to their patron saint Ronald (Bad Actor, Worse President) Reagan.  Let’s see how little Ronnie holds up.

Too bad they didn’t listen to this guy. .

By the way, I understand the video clip that snarly Carly (I Can Run Any Business Into The Ground) Fiorina was talking about during the last Republican debacle was actually a clip from “The Texas Chainsaw Massacre.”   

Stay tuned for future adventures.

You Know What Day It Is

I see why Snarly Carly (I Can Run Any Company Into The Ground) Fiorina is the new darling of the TeaNut Republicans. While CEO of Hewlett-Packard, Snarly spied on board members, did illegal business with Iran, laid off 30,000 employess, bribed officials in Russia to do business there and last week on national TV and blatantly lied about a watching a video that doesn’t exist.

Mrs. Pinocchio’s relationship with the truth is like a second cousin twice removed.  I understand this is Snarly’s new campaign song.

After hearing Dr. Ben (Nutjob Neurosurgeon) Carson's anti-Muslim statements it is quite obvious that he is the first brain surgeon in history who doesn’t have a brain.

Scott (I’m No Longer A Runner, But A) Walker is joining Rick (All Hair, No Brains) Perry in a Timothy Leary moment of “Tune in, Turn on, Drop out.” Little Scotty told his three supporters, “Today, I believe that I am being called to lead by helping to clear the field in this race so that a positive, conservative message can rise to the top of the field.” I’m not sure about the called part; I think the real reason is that no one was calling period.

I just noticed that Family Dollar stores are having their Red Tag Clearance sale, so if you needs some red tags, that’s where to go.

 

The CEO of Volkswagen Martin (What Pollution?) Winterkorn had this to say this week about the scandal involving Volkswagen decision to equip 11 million cars with devices to cheat emission testing.
