Obama’s fall-back line when talking to supporters seems to be “if X does/does not happen, then his legacy/Presidency will end.”  His latest is for the tax bill (I refuse to say tax cut since it’s a not-raising taxes bill).  Last time it was for healthcare where he was whining to various caucuses about the end… Continue reading

Okay, so I’m sitting in the drive thru at Micky D’s this morning and the car in front of me, which was driven by a woman about my age (let’s say above the 40 year old demographic and leave it at that), had some odd cursive-type writing on the rear window.  It said “Look after… Continue reading

Shamelessly copied from In Jennifer’s Head (a fantastic blog).  I’ve included a clip of the original too.  Gotta say the lightsaber version really shows how quickly these guys were moving.  IMO, one of the best fights scenes EVAH in a movie.  My favorite move is at 2:43 in the second video  where he changes from… Continue reading

SO, we’ve had quite a bit of snow in the last 24 hours.  Himself had to go into work last night at 8:00 pm and is still there 13 hours later–will probably be there all day and into the evening.  It took him 1 1/2 hours to drive 17 miles–he was turned back once and… Continue reading

Part of the reason that Chris Christie is so….  refreshing…  to listen to is that he is saying things that we hope others are thinking.  When he’s talking about the tenure system in New Jersey, all teachers in their K-12 system have to do is manage to not mess up bad enough to get fired… Continue reading

Okay, so I’ve watched the video of Obama putting Bill Clinton in charge of a press conference and every time (after my mind stops going ‘whooba whooba’) my train of thought takes off for a different destination.   They do start going downhill….  You have been warned….. First track:  ‘Seriously, did he just cede the power… Continue reading

Himself took a couple of pictures of the new guy last night.  He seems to be getting along okay so far with the other cats–a few hisses and battings but he just doesn’t know what to do about the dog.  She’s just curious but she totally wigs him out.  I think as long as no… Continue reading

It seems this is the season for additions to the family.  Tam and Roberta adopted a kitty that turned out to not have a home as they had thought so they gave him one and Himself found a lost kitty at work on Tuesday.  He’s also a yellow tom cat, much like Roberta and Tam’s… Continue reading

I’m still baffled about the Democrat (and some Republican) mindset that claims that the hard-earned money of the citizens of this country belongs to them.  When they talk about ‘giving’ money to the rich, what they really mean is that they aren’t stealing the money from them.  There seems to be a disconnect between the… Continue reading

Okay, I have had no problems with Walmart’s business model and they employ a lot of people and seem to treat those people well.  Personally, almost every Walmart I’ve walked into has been a scene out of a Fellini movie.  But now they have caved to the Department of Homeland Security and are going to… Continue reading
