God I Love Rush Limbaugh...

....he never fails to bring a little laughter into my day. Rush shows his true self whenever he opens his mouth. The latest racist comment being that James Bond is white and can not be played by a black actor.

His followers lap it up though because they too are racists. Keep it up Limbaugh, they say laughter is the best medicine and I'm feeling awfully healthy after that good laugh.

And now for a Cuban cigar and some rum...

Opening up relations with Cuba will allow real Cuban cigars to be able to be brought back by travelers. This I can get behind. Now I just got to find someone that is traveling to Cuba.

Citigroup's Political Power

A great read over at The Baseline Scenario;

http://baselinescenario.com/2014/12/12/citighroup-will-be-broken-up/

The last part say it all:

“And now we’re watching as Congress passes yet another provision that was written by lobbyists for the biggest recipient of bailout money in the history of the country.   And it’s attached to a bill that needs to pass or else the entire federal government will grind to a halt. Think about this kind of power.  A financial institution has become so big and so powerful that it can hold the entire country hostage.  That alone is a reason enough for us break them up.  Enough is enough.”

I'm all for Elizabeth Warren for President.
 

Don't Stand for Anything Democrats vs Collective Stupidity of Republicans

great read over at the Bonddad Blog

http://bonddad.blogspot.com/2014/12/bonddads-post-election-rant.html

The best is at the end

"So, on one side, we have Democrats who don't really stand for anything and who have an aging and more and more ineffective leadership.  With the Republicans we have a pool of people who represent the largest known pool of collective stupidity we've ever seen." 

Best Comment I've seen about Politicians

" Our politicians should wear jumpsuits like NASCAR drivers so we could easily see who their sponsors are."

Strip Club Sign in Pinellas Park FL

Over Thanksgiving I visited family in Florida and Alabama. In Pinellas Park, Florida as we were driving we came across a strip club that had the following message on it sign.

   BLACK FRIDAY SPECIAL
        ALL GIRLS 1/2 OFF

Got to love capitalism.

Glad I'm not in Detroit

Bad time to have a power outage in Detroit. Damn cold with highs in the 30's. I suppose it's just another sign of our failing infrastructure.  Funny comments though about the outage.

Fight the Power (outage).

The Public Unions must getting their pensions by the foot these days.

On the bright side Al Gore is giving them tax credits for reducing their carbon footprint.

There are plenty of abandoned house to get firewood from. The people will be fine.

 

On the timing of the Ferguson verdict...

Why did they wait till 7-8 PM to tell the verdict in the Ferguson Police shooting case? Are these people stupid. Let the sun go down and give the peeps time to get their drink on and then spring the news. Why not do it at 8 AM? Those with jobs are at work those without jobs are still sleeping. Its like they wanted the protesting to get out of control. Our leaders are complete morons.

As far as the verdict goes I am in no position to tell whether it was right or not. I don't have all the facts. The facts I do know of point toward the police officer first acting in self defense after being attacked but then I believe he went to far which to me looks like murder. It could be though that once you start to defend yourself the logical conclusion is for you eliminate the threat which would say it was all self defense. Once again though I don't have all the facts.
