Granted, he may have just misspoken, but with Chuckie the destroyer of the 2nd Amendment, I would not be surprised since I don't think he knows the Constitution.

Don't Look - OFFENSIVE

I buried this so you can't say I didn't warn you.  We were talking about messed up relationships and then I saw this - so I don't feel so bad about my choices.  How 'bout you?

America

Much discussion about the state of the union:
Is the American Dream still Alive?  Does our next Generation have the opportunities that we and our parents had?  Have we squandered our Heritage?

Saving America

Concerned about America? Is the American Dream still alive? Do your children have the same opportunities our Founding Fathers died for - for us? This is moving stuff.  I also believe the fault belongs to both past Democrats & Republicans.

I feel so bad for her .. : (

What do you say to an older person who loses their job?
I feel very bad for this lady, but I certainly understand.  Here's what she wrote and how I responded.  If you wish to respond, post your comments.

What a Dumbass. Woman texting, falls right into mall Water Fountain

Annie, get your guns

Krissie on FBook posted this!!  I love it.  Of course, you're a nutjob according to the left if you believe in gun ownership.  For those of you who have not secured your CCW (CPL), you should do it.  Take the classes.  Be smart.  I spent 25 hours learning the LAWS.   Criminals don't, but as law abiding citizens, we are held to a higher standard.

Coming soon - It's Groundhogs Day!!
groundhog
Occasionally we have calendar events, which occur on the same day, that when put together, seem to carry special meaning.  Two such events will coincide on February 2nd of 2011.  The two events:  Groundhog Day and the State of the Union address occur on the same day.  It is an ironic juxtaposition of events; one involves a meaningless ritual in which we look to a creature of little intelligence for prognostication, while the other involves a groundhog.

Black People don't like old white crackers ..... ???? WTF

MAD AS HELL!!  The Father of our Great Nation - ain't good enuff for the NAACP.  How pathetic is this?!?  At the MLK event Monday in North Carolina, they covered up the statue of George Washington.  I'm embarrassed.  Maybe they didn't know who he was?  I have to believe there is a better reason.  Maybe to protect the statue?  Please?  Tell me.  There has to be logic;  something I'm missing ....

Political Correctness

1-17-11
"Political correctness is a doctrine, fostered by a delusional,
illogical minority, and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous
mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is
entirely possible to pick up a piece of shit by the clean end."


Dennis Conlin sent this.  The future of America?

HOPEFULLY THIS SCENARIO WILL NEVER HAPPEN BUT THE WAY THINGS ARE GOING!?
“Winston, come into the dining room, it’s time to eat,” Julia yelled to her husband.

“In a minute, honey, it’s a tie score,” he answered.  Actually Winston wasn’t very interested in the traditional holiday football game between Detroit and Washington .  Ever since the government passed the Civility in Sports Statute of 2017, outlawing tackle football for its “unseemly violence” and the “bad example it sets for the rest of the world,” Winston was far less of a football fan than he used to be.  Two-hand touch wasn’t nearly as exciting.

Yet it wasn’t the game that Winston was uninterested in.  It was more the thought of eating another Tofu Turkey.  Even though it was the best type of Veggie Meat available after the government revised the American Anti-Obesity Act of 2018, adding fowl to the list of federally-forbidden foods, (which already included potatoes, cranberry sauce and mince-meat pie), it wasn’t anything like real turkey.  And ever since the government officially changed the name of “Thanksgiving Day” to “A National Day of Atonement” in 2020, to officially acknowledge the Pilgrims’ historically brutal treatment of Native Americans, the holiday had lost a lot of its luster.

Eating in the dining room was also a bit daunting.  The unearthly gleam of government-mandated fluorescent light bulbs made the Tofu Turkey look even weirder than it actually was, and the room was always cold.  Ever since Congress passed the Power Conservation Act of 2016, mandating all thermostats—which were monitored and controlled by the electric company — be kept at 68 degrees, every room on the north side of the house was barely tolerable throughout the entire winter.

Still, it was good getting together with family.  Or at least most of the family.  Winston missed his mother, who passed on in October, when she had used up her legal allotment of live-saving medical treatment.  He had had many heated conversations with the Regional Health Consortium, spawned when the private insurance market finally went bankrupt, and everyone was forced into the government health care program. And though he demanded she be kept on her treatment, it was a futile effort.  “The RHC’s resources are limited,” explained the government bureaucrat Winston spoke with on the phone. “Your mother received all the benefits to which she was entitled.  I’m sorry for your loss.”

Ed couldn’t make it either.  He had forgotten to plug in his electric car last night, the only kind available after the Anti-Fossil Fuel Bill of 2021 outlawed the use of the combustion engines for everyone but government officials.  The fifty mile round trip was about ten miles too far, and Ed didn’t want to spend a frosty night on the road somewhere between here and there.

Thankfully, Winston’s brother, John, and his wife were flying in.  Winston made sure that the dining room chairs had extra cushions for the occasion.  No one complained more than John about the pain of sitting down so soon after the government mandated cavity searches at airports, which severely aggravated his hemorrhoids.

Ever since a terrorist successfully smuggled a cavity bomb onto a jetliner, the TSA told Americans the added “inconvenience” was an “absolute necessity” in order to stay “one step ahead of the terrorists.”  Winston’s own body had grown accustomed to such probing ever since the government expanded their scope to just about anywhere a crowd gathered, via Anti-Profiling Act of 2022.  That law made it a crime to single out any group or individual for “unequal scrutiny,” even when probable cause was involved.  Thus, cavity searches at malls, train stations, bus depots, etc., etc., had become almost routine.  Almost.


The Supreme Court is reviewing the statute, but most Americans expect a Court composed of six progressives and three conservatives to leave the law intact.  “A living Constitution is extremely flexible,” said the Court’s eldest member, Elena Kagan. “ Europe has had laws like this one for years.  We should learn from their example,” she added.

Winston’s thoughts turned to his own children.  He got along fairly well with his 12-year old daughter, Brittany, mostly because she ignored him.  Winston had long ago surrendered to the idea that she could text anyone at any time, even during Atonement Dinner.  Their only real confrontation had occurred when he limited her to 50,000 texts a month, explaining that was all he could afford.  She whined for a week, but got over it.

His 16-year-old son, Jason, was another matter altogether.  Perhaps it was the constant bombarding he got in public school that global warming, the bird flu, terrorism or any of a number of other calamities were “just around the corner,” but Jason had developed a kind of nihilistic attitude that ranged between simmering surliness and outright hostility.  It didn’t help that Jason had reported his father to the police for smoking a cigarette in the house, an act made criminal by the Smoking Control Statute of 2018, which outlawed smoking anywhere within 500 feet of another human being.  Winston paid the $5,000 fine, which might have been considered excessive before the American dollar became virtually worthless. The latest round of quantitative easing the federal government initiated was, once again, to “spur economic growth.”  This time they promised to push unemployment below its years long rate of 18%, but Winston was not particularly hopeful.

Yet the family had a lot for which to be thankful, Winston thought, before remembering it was a Day of Atonement. At least he had his memories.  He felt a twinge of sadness when he realized his children would never know what life was like in the Good Old Days, long before government promises to make life “fair for everyone” realized their full potential.  Winston, like so many of his fellow Americans, never realized how much things could change when they didn’t happen all at once, but little by little, so people could get used to them.

He wondered what might have happened if the public had stood up while there was still time, maybe back around 2009, when all the real nonsense began.  “Maybe we wouldn’t be where we are today if we’d just said ‘enough is enough’ when we had the chance,” he thought.

Maybe so, Winston.  Maybe so.

30 Pounds of Mac N Cheese ????

How much could you eat?

Ralph!  Could you eat 30 pounds of Mac & Cheese?  Hmmmm ... Oprah did.  Binge eating (hey, we've all been there, right?).  But 30 freakin' pounds?  I always preferred the Raman Noodle Buffet.  If you're really going to binge on disgustingly bad-for-you food, make it Raman Tonight!
Other than that, how are those New Years Resolutions coming?  It's day 17 of the new year.  Didn't make any.  It would be the same as every year. :)

Seen in Ann Arbor


I told you so ....

Welcome back to work, or school. In case you missed it, according to WLNS

A popular Lansing morning show host is off the air.
Rich Michaels - host of the "Michaels in the Morning" show at WMMQ - was fired by Citadel Broadcasting on Wednesday.
Michaels has been on the Lansing airwaves at one station or another for more than 20 years since 1984.
Michaels, who says he's encouraged and supported unemployed callers to his show over the years, now finds himself in the same situation.
"I think everybody's going through this. I'm not special," Michaels said. "I actually wish I could talk to people now in a way because I'm in it. It's 10 days to Christmas and I don't have a job. Something better will happen."
Matt Hanlon, who runs the Citadel stations in Michigan, says the company and Michaels "parted company" because the station made a decision "to move in a different direction."
Michaels' co-host Deb Hart, another long-time radio presence, will remain with the station, Hanlon said.

Okay, here's the elephant in the room - what we already know

As I have said, we are all in this economic downturn together.  I know this is a lot of information, but you won't feel so ALONE:
"Standing on Shaky Ground" and The ESI or Economic Security Index put together by The Rockefeller Foundation.
