When pigs fly

Well, I get to go back to work today - for 5 days in a row.  I'm not excited.  Not one bit.  But these things happen.
Supposedly the Idiot Jerk is going to kick out several Russian diplomats today.  He no doubt approval from his buddy Vlad before doing so - you know, to give the appearance of legitimacy.  I suspect the Idiot Jerk's been told that if he goes too far Putin will throw his ass under the bus, or in front of a bus, or maybe he'll just leak the golden shower video tapes.  Now that's something we all wouldn't want to see, is it?
This AM I also managed to get 5 miles in on the bike.  Yesterday there was a Rouvy update and I had connectivity issues, my Cyclops Magnus kept losing it's connection.  This morning that problem appears to have been fixed.
Oh, and Devin Nunes, that Robo Republican from California is apparently have election issues.  He's being challenged... and it seems that his supreme loyalty to that pro-Russian, the Idiot Jerk, is hurting him.  Don't you think the part where they report the Idiot Jerk carrying Nune's district by 10% funny?  I think the Idiot Jerk carried Conor Lamb's district by 16%... or maybe it was a bit more.  Well, what do you expect, the GOP is the minority party.  I keep hoping to hear  Nune's say something like "I'll lose this election when pigs fly." 
And, speaking of flying pigs - the dogs got a new toy... or, perhaps I should new toys:  Flying pigs!

They make a farting sound when squeezed.  Each dog got one.  With two of them going at the same time, yesterday afternoon erupted like a flatus festival.  Of course, Seig broke his by pulling out the farter.  I made a temporary fix by shoving it back in... to no avail.  He pulled that damn farter out again.  Now, Lily's pig farts and his just makes a waffling sound.  It wouldn't surprise me if Devin Nunes sounds a lot like Seig's pig, running around making waffling sounds as he loses his bid for re-election.  Waffle, waffle.  Waffle, waffle.

Role Model Hell

Well, yesterday wasn't as full as I was expecting it to be, at least not here.  Translation:  I didn't get as much accomplished as I wanted, basically because I had breakfast with my brother.  Breakfast for me is normally oatmeal.  As a result of the omelet, hash browns, and toast, I ran my errands to Giant, and to Dick's, and then turned into a slug.  I got out the wallpaper steamer, but, alas, spent not a second stripping. I did, however, spend some time on another project I've been working on.  I'll talk about that at a later date.
Anyway, I guess the GOP are trying to put a crooked face on Saccone's loss out near Pittsburgh.  I'm sure the Idiot Jerk in the White House would have splutter something incomprehensible if one of his sycophants hadn't shoved a Big Mac in his mouth and handed him a diet Coke.  Publicly they're saying Lamb won against a bad candidate... one whom the Idiot Jerk praised in an appearance there last Sunday (just saying).  Privately they're scratching their heads and asking themselves "why don't people like us?"
Interestingly enough, an opinion at NBC News answered that very question this morning.  About half way down 2 words jump out:  Role Model.  Conor Lamb stands for calm intelligence, rational behavior, and an astute awareness of what the voters want, and therefore represents the type of Role Model parents want for their children.  Rick Saccone and the Idiot Jerk are at the opposite end of the spectrum, the rectum, so to speak.  Do you really think parents what their children to grow to be like the Idiot Jerk?  Well, perhaps some, those with a trash mentality.  For the most part, however, that person in the White House represents the best in America.  Up until the Idiot Jerk, the President has always been a Role Model children were encouraged to look up to, but all that changed in 2016.  Now we have a pussy grabbing, three times divorced, porn star banger, foul mouthed scumbag sitting in the Oval Office.  The Roll Model from Hell managed to get himself elected.  The time has come to throw out the trash and Conor Lamb and Doug Jones are showing us how to do it.

The Lamb effect

It's Wednesday... and I don't work, which is fine with me.
The agenda for today is overloaded: breakfast with my brother, grocery shopping, a bike ride, and stripping (wallpaper).  Notice I included (wallpaper) to dispel any visions of sugar plums dancing in your heads.
For those interested, the gel riding shorts I bought at Dick's are far more comfortable than the ones I bought from Baleaf... so, since I have a coupon from Dick's I'll go and buy another pair this afternoon.
Also, another bit of news from the western part of the great state of Pennsylvania.  Evidently there's been a bit of an upset.  The reprehensible Republican, Rick Saccone, is writhing with contempt, because the moderate Democrat has gotten the majority of votes.  For Saccone, this was supposed to be a sure thing.  The district was overwhelmingly conservative, and the Idiot Jerk had won it by 19% - 20% during the 2016 election.  Yet Conor Lamb is leading Saccone by at 641 votes, and that gap continues to widen.  News organizations are now beginning to call the election, Lamb's favor.  As might be expected, Saccone has said that his "legal team" is already on it, looking for a way to steal back the election.

Even Fox News, in an article that seems surprisingly neutral, appears to concede.  I liked the bit where they note that Lamb and Saccone may "face off again in November," but only maybe since the state Supreme Court ruled that Republican gerrymandering of the state was unconstitutional.
The wave continues to grow.
