Bad Omens

 While the rest of you are going back to work today, or returning to your home offices, I'm off.  Now, that doesn't mean I'm not going to be doing anything.  The back door is going to be replaced today.  In about a month, I'm going to be putting on a new screen door, too; the last one was broken by 180 lbs of dogs rushing to go out and chase a bunny.

I took a ride through San Remo yesterday and was disappointed to see my speed had dropped from 18.5 mph to 18.3 mph.  I need to focus more on my cycling.  I've been spending way too much time scanning news articles.  I blame it on the election.

And what about Kellyanne's daughter Claudia?  Seeking emancipation from her parents?  While she evidently gets along better with her father, she's none too pleased about his Republican beliefs.  However, she passionately hates the Idiot Jerk in the White House, which implies she has no respect what so ever for her mother.  Claudia has already warned people this is going to be a very public separation.  

The Idiot Jerk's convention begins tonight.  Oh, my.  They released the list white speakers, most of whom are either family or bigots prominent in his administration.  Oh, yeah, those two gun toting, double knit mavens of the fashion industry are going to speak as well.  I'm betting they show up wearing black polyester and toting their guns onto the stage.  Think of a badly written skit for Saturday Night Live that will go over big with the white supremacists.

One of the most interesting aspects of this imbecilic affair  is that while the Republicans are celebrating the incompetence of their role model, two hurricanes are barreling towards the Gulf Coast.  Can we talk about unprecedented?

Both are expected to make landfall prior to the Idiot Jerk's speech on Thursday. Can we talk about Omens here?  This is a really bad sign from above.   I wonder, did he ever think Global Warming might interfere with his accepting the nomination for tinfoil dictator... oh, I mean incompetent president.  Does anyone know if he's gutted FEMA yet?  Do not doubt, these hurricanes will be blamed on the Democrats.

Is Jenna Lee just another brick in the wall?

I'll be honest, I don't normally watch Fox News.  Why watch conservative pundits constantly attack anything and everything they deem to be liberal?  Yesterday, I watched for about 2 hours and it was like entering into the Twilight Zone.  I unfortunately got to watch Jenna Lee in what I supposed was to be a discussion with 3 women, only one of whom was single, as to why single women voted for Obama.  One of the went so far as to say she would tell single women about all the good things conservatives have to offer.  Don't these people realize it's the things they want to take away from single women that most effected their vote?  There was also this bizarre inference that if you were married you would have voted for Romney.  I've heard more relative conversations between bricks then I heard between those 4 women.  They still don't understand why they lost the election.  Perhaps it is impossible for them to even acknowledge how off kilter they are.

Just another brick in the wall

And Laura Ingram made some sort of silly comment yesterday about the GOP possibly having to get back into the trenches.  Duh, doesn't she realize that unless there are Blacks, and Latinos, and Gays and Single Women in those trenches with them they're wasting their time?  If you take her words literally she is advocating trench warfare against every single soul who doesn't bow down and kiss the boots of conservatism, or at least the conservatism she advocates.  Instead of them saying that perhaps they should re-evaluate and possibly move a little more to the center, they seem to be driving themselves farther to the right.
