Bluntness

I've also been told I have little tact, so if this offends you simply ride on.

Heroes among us

It's Tuesday and yippie! skippie! I get to go back to work... for a week - 5 days in a row.
I only rode 10 miles this AM.  Around 6 miles into I had to stand up and retuck farther to the left, believe me, when you're going to be sitting on a bike saddle for more than twenty minutes the last thing you want is to be sitting on a stray fold... if you know what I mean.
Speaking of cycling, Taylor Phinney crossed the finish line in 8th place.  For those who don't know this is great!  Four years ago he crashed into a steel guardrail when an official on a motorcycle crossed into his path.  Compound tibia and fibula fractures.  That's right, the bones were sticking out.  Four years later he came in 8th at Paris / Roubaix.  This is the stuff heroes are made of.

Taylor Phinney, scars and all
On the other end of the spectrum is Laura Ingraham who's returned to pollute the airwaves with her Right Wing hatred.  She's been farting out turds, complaining Liberals are attacking Freedom of Speech.  What she doesn't understand is that Americans are beginning to hold Fox News accountable for their words and actions.  This is, however, what we should expect.  She is, after all, on the most least trustworthy of the major news networks.  


So, who trusts Laura Ingraham?  Small minded people who like their hate spit at them by a peroxide, blonde, bimbo.
Oh, and the FBI raided the Idiot Jerk's personal attorney... and the Oval Office had to endure another shit explosion.  There's shit in every nook and cranny.  That Mueller's turning into quite the hero as well.  No doubt the Idiot Jerk's terrified his personal attorney will end up turning State's Witness.  This is what happens when the only way you can get loyalty is to buy it.

Study this

Well, it's Sunday morning... and I don't have to work.  I did do my Local Taxes, the last to be filed.  I owed nothing.  That's normal.
Weather wise the temp is supposed to go up to 45 (F), so it will be on the chilly side.  Sunny and chilly is fine with me.
Paris-Roubaix is live right now.  Called the Queen of the Classics, I don't really know how many queens are riding in it.  Since I'm a Cannondale fan, I'm rooting for Taylor Phinney, a floppy haired ginger who's always had lots of potential.  Today we'll find out how good he is riding over cobblestones.


For those who don't know, Paris-Roubaix is known for its cobblestones - miles and miles of them.  Just the thought of that makes my riding bones ache.
Scanning around the news this AM, an article in the BBC caught my eye.  Evidently there's a Bible Study Group in the White House.  Now, I don't know about you, but the constitution seems to make it perfectly clear there is supposed to be a separation of church and state.  Of course, if you're a Crazy Christian, the American Constitution has absolutely no value, no authority, and... well, for them at least, no purpose in existing.  What makes this worse is that these people believe they are wealthy and powerful because of their beliefs.  Gee... I must have missed that scripture.  These people don't understand that their shit stinks worse than their hatred for those 3 dirty words 'Freedom of Religion.'  They are the biggest hate group in America.
Time has come to clean house.  Sweep the rubbish out to the curb.  They don't understand that their Judgement is coming, sooner than they think, and it's not going to be the Judgement they want.  Ah, but then that's life.  The world is going to leave them and their hatred behind.  Be prepared, when they realize their losing they will get ugly.
