Roll this

Oh my gosh... it's sooooo early.  I  got my creaking, old but out of bed at around 0415.  No, no, no, I wasn't anticipating the New Hampshire primary results, I went just went to bed a little earlier than usual.  I have a bit of a sore throat, well mostly a swollen gland on the left side, so there's some sort of infection.  Or maybe it was just the fact that I've got to go back to work today (cue my favorite words).
My schedule has been posted for 3 weeks out and again I've been given split days off.  That doesn't make me happy in the least.  I have a plumbing issue which will need to be taken care of, so that will fix the scheduling issue.
I've been focusing on finishing the book.  Cycling has been put on the back burner.  I have 80 pages to go and I'm ready to put this baby to bed.
I made egg rolls yesterday.  Scrumptious.

I'm taking some to work for lunch.

Oh, and Bernie pulled one out of his ass last night in New Hampshire, in case you didn't know.  I'm sure that old man ran around shrieking "we're on a roll!  we're on a roll!"  That old fool is not in the least bit scrumptious.  Buttigieg picked up more delegates and is still in the lead.  Two more candidates dropped out, Yang and Martin.  I saw where Tulsi Gabbard (sp) held some sort of election night fete where they gave her a lei. She wants to  be a spoiler, you can tell by her arrogance.  Personally, I think she's a little to brittle to roll with the punches.

And then, of course, there's Roger Stone.  The Idiot Jerk in the White House wants to cut down his toadie's jail as much as possible.  And Billy Barr's doing everything in his power to make it happen.  Isn't Billy and Evangelical?  You know?  That sect which believes you can do whatever you want as long as you believe and ask for forgiveness?  

And finally... Hello Italy!  Here's a big shout out to all of you wonderful Italians for reading my blog!

Time

Another Friday night and another concert.  Not Elton John.  My brother in law called about a week and a half ago.  He had bought tickets for he and my sister to see Grace Potter.  My sister decided she didn't want to go, so I was offered her ticket.  I said yes, of course, not because I knew who she was but... well, she was at the Forum which is a very nice venue in downtown Harrisburg.  She was very dynamic.  I had listened to a few of her songs to familiarize myself with her music.  She used to sing with a group called The Nocturnals, now she's solo.  I'd recommend giving her a listen if you get the chance.

Anyway, now I'm running a little behind. 
I've started approving and disapproving comments while at work.  I use my phone.  It makes it nice and simple.  They don't really want me using the store computer for personal use.  I should be using it to sell product.
And of course, during testimony yesterday the Idiot Jerk opened up with a volley of hate Tweets.  Evidently the GOP had been going to treat Marie Yovanavitch with at least of some the respect she deserves... and then the Idiot Jerk started throwing Twitter acid on her, at least that's how one media outlet phrased his attack.  He is such a dumb shit.  I wouldn't be surprised if there weren't a number of Evangelical leaders laying their hands on him as he launched yesterday's attack.  The think he was sent to give them what their craven hearts so desperately want.  And while his base might have started spinning in giddy little circles of delight, a majority of Americans said "what the fuck?"
Oh, and Roger Stone was found guilty on all 7 charges.  Prepare yourselves for not only a pardon, but a tiny fingered Tweet about how the Idiot Jerk can do whatever he wants because he was sent by... Pure Evil.  They have no idea how fast their time is ticking away.
Here's a vid from a Grace Potter concert in 2015.  The song is Timekeeper.  Her performance last night included a lot more percussion.  Oh, and better lighting.

The Bungle in the Jungle

Ah, where do I begin....
The desk will be delivered, though I don't know when.  I've sent Cymax an email regarding the 'unpacking,' stating that had they included the size of the box with the information they provided, I would not have bought this desk from them.  If the delivery agents do not take it out of the box, I have several strong backs lined up to do the heavy lifting.
Bloomberg was nice to the Idiot Jerk in the White House.  They said he capitulated.  Everybody else knows he crashed and burned... badly.  His approval rating dropped drastically. Those who thought they might give him the benefit of the doubt now understand that he, like many selfish conservatives, will easily sacrifice the livelihood of others in order to get what they want.  He just had his self-righteous smirk wiped off his face.  The Republicans lost big time in the midterms and they continue to lose. 

Roger Stone got arrested.  You know who I'm talking about, the asshole with the tattoo of Nixon on his shoulder.  Most telling was his comment about 'not turning' on the Idiot Jerk in the White House.  This guy is dumb as a brick.  If the Idiot Jerk in the White House was innocent, there would be no need for Roger to turn... or flip... or make a deal.  The problem for the Idiot Jerk?  Everybody knows Roger's a whiny sack of shit whose concerns over self-preservation overrule any thoughts of loyalty.

The diocese Covington belongs to issued the students and the school an apology.  They say the boys involved were verbally attacked by native Israeli Hebrews.  In other words, the Catholics of Covington are blaming the Jews.  This is what you expect from kids wearing MAGA hats.  What's surprising is that they didn't try and blame a Mexican who'd made it over the border because there wasn't a wall.

Evidently a number of those involved in Jared's Top Secret clearance objected on the grounds he might be easily compromised.  They were overruled by a loyalist who didn't seem to care about his issues with kiddie porn... oh... wait... wrong Jared.  It seems it was his flawed real estate wheelings and dealings which left him vulnerable to blackmail.

Very quietly Liberals have been turning into Lions and Tigers and Conservatives have been demonstrating incompetence on a grand scale.  They are definitely dumber than most of us Great Apes.  As I was thinking of this, a lovely little tune from a long time ago started dancing around inside my head.  Holy Shit, I thought, there really is a Bungle in the Jungle.

THIS JUST IN!!!

Friday and I'm halfway through my 4 day work week.  For the next couple of weeks I'm only working 3 or 4 days in a row, which is fine with me.
Yesterday I received an email from Cymax... you know, the 3rd party seller from whom I bought my desk, and they will accept a return as long as I pay a $456 restocking fee plus freight.  Of course. I was on the phone with Amazon.  Because the desk isn't damaged, and it's not the wrong desk, they recommended I accept delivery.  I immediately began contacting friends.  The problem is the packaging size, not the desk size which means ironically, that for the first time in my life I'm have a problem with the size of the package.  As for Cymax, I can only think bad thoughts.  I'm beginning to think that maybe, instead of calling Amazon, I should have called Nancy... Pelosi... you know?
And what did you think of the comments made by Wilbur Ross yesterday?  This moronic billionaire actually advocated Federal workers get a loan...  and so what if they have to pay a little interest.  Just how out of touch is he with America?  In fact everyone in this administration increasingly demonstrates wealthy minded stupidity.  Yep, all of them have dumbed down by dollars.  Rocks have more sense then these people do... literally.

And two bills to open the government failed in the Senate yesterday.  The important thing is that the one sponsored by Democrats had 6 Republicans flipping.  If 6 more had flipped, it would have passed.  My money says that "shit" was not the word that popped from the Idiot Jerk's mouth when he heard that since ....

AND THIS JUST IN..... ROGER STONE HAS BEEN ARRESTED IN FLORIDA!

Of course, Reuters had the headline first, followed by BBC...  Way to go Mueller!  This is news to wake up to, isn't it?  Maybe I should have save the Rumble, Rumble post for today!

Diaper This

Hello, it's me...  Here's a picture of me that my Mom had when I was just a little shit, a mere 7 months old.  Aren't I cute?  That's my first Mohawk!!  No, I'm not naked, I'm wearing a diaper.  Some day that may happen again, but for right now everything is safe and secure.

Yesterday, while doing all sorts of odd things around the house, I took some time to scan the headlines.  Talk about a potpourri of bullshit.  Did you know Roger Stone has admitted to lying.... and as part of his punishment he has to publicly admit to doing so and apologize for being a lying sack of shit.  And where did he get these lies?  Guess.  Well, Roger says he got them from some guy named Sam who's with the Idiot Jerk's administration.  So, do you think Roger has started wearing a diaper?  My money says you can Depend upon it. Most likely the Fit-Flex.
And then there was the Tucker Carlson shit show.  He said that because immigrants are poor, and dirty, they should be kept out of our country, especially those dark, brown ones coming up from south of the border.  Tucker's going to stand his ground!  He's not going to cave in to the liberals no matter how many sponsors leave his show.  So is Tucker wearing a diaper?  Probably not, he's choosing to wallow in his shit.  Tucker's proudly proclaiming "I'm a racist, damn you, so stop trying to make me human."
In case you missed it, the Russians are still in the news... but when aren't they.  It seems like every day we get more and more information on how they were working to get their guy elected.  Social conservatives want to believe the Idiot Jerk was elected through divine intervention...  That may be the case, as long as the divinity speaks Russian and calls himself Vlad.
Finally, there was this little, tasty chestnut.  It seems that 62% of voting Americans believe the Idiot Jerk is lying about Russia.  Every time he shrieks 'witch hunt' they think 'asswipe.'  And the 38% who believe the Idiot Jerk?  I suspect some of them have already started hitting the Depends store. They are prepping for that day in the not to distant future when they all start shitting in their pants.
