As we have seen with pajama boy, the American male is being twisted into something less than manly.
And come January 1, 2014 the Boy Scouts of America have been forced to except gay scouts…what the hell happened to this country?
Holy crap on a cracker!
I have a family Christmas gathering tonight and was placed in charge of bringing plates and cups. No big deal, I assumed it would only take a few minutes to get in and out of the grocery store. You know what they say about assumptions.
I don’t know why but I always seem to pick the wrong lines. There were only two lines.
In one line, the express lane, was a gal we will call Coupon Lady.
Coupon Lady had way to many items for the express lane and way to many coupons and questions. The other line had only one lady with a shit load of groceries, we will call her Rosarita. After watching Coupon Lady and the three or four irritated people stacked behind her, I chose Rosaritas line and her two carts chock full of groceries.
As Rosarita unloaded one of her carts onto the check out counter I kept an eye on Coupon Lady to see if my choice of lines was the correct maneuver. Coupon Lady was still in in front of the checker scrolling through her receipt making sure the evil young checker had not screwed her out of the coupon deal of the century, Rosarita was flying along, halfway through the second cart it was looking as though my decision to bypass Coupon Lady and the visibly upset line of customers behind her was a wise move indeed.
Then it happened, Rosarita does not speak english and wants to pay with an EBT card, my young check out gal was unable to understand that Rosarita wants to use all of the money on the EBT card and whatever is left she will pay in cash, I figured that out after a store interpreter showed up after about a five minute wait to get Rosarita and her issues worked out. Apparently Rosaritas food stamp card belongs to her daughter, the same daughter who forgot to give her the pin number, after two phone calls to the daughter the pin number was retrieved and Rosarita was no longer hampering my escape from the longest check out line I have ever been in. Coupon Lady and her followers were long gone, a new line of people who were unfamiliar were skipping on through the express lane. I was irritated…and hungry.
I left the parking lot of the grocery store and headed for Subway Sandwich, that should be a quick in and out and at this time of day usually nobody is there. The parking lot had a few cars but not bad, I pulled into a stall at about the same time a small SUV pulled in. The doors to the SUV flew open and a herd of small children ran to the door of the Subway, the driver stepped out and headed for the door trying to catch up to her brood that had already infiltrated Subway. We will call her Maria.
I couldn’t go in, I jumped back in my truck and left Subway vowing that next time, the wife will be buying the plates and cups.
Republican leaders and several hard-right groups are displaying the classic signs of a political divorce, including bitter name-calling and reprisals against one another. The recent eagerness of House Speaker John Boehner and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell to lash out at groups that have given them fits has unshackled others in the Republican ranks to publicly question the motivation of organizations like the Senate Conservatives Fund, Heritage Action, Madison Project and Club for Growth.Such organizations disparage Republicans they accuse of following the path of least resistance in Washington and vow to replace them in primaries with conservative purists.
This will make things interesting leading into 2016…and will probably determine whether the Republican Party survives or just gets assimilated into a Democrat-Lite organization. If that is the case, it may be time for a third party because the current “go along to get along” bunch ain’t gettin it.
You may ask why we should be concerned? Here are a few items that Washington spends money on and the above mentioned backers of this budget apparently don’t see a problem. Read the entire .pdf here.
The Popular Romance Project has received nearly $1 million in federal funds from the National Endowment of the Humanities (NEH) since 2010, “Wastebook 2013” reported.
The purpose of the program is to “explore the fascinating, often contradictory origins and influences of popular romance as told in novels, films, comics, advice books, songs, and internet fan fiction, taking a global perspective—while looking back across time as far as the ancient Greeks.”
The U.S. Army spent nearly four years and $300 million developing a mega-blimp that it eventually scraped. The blimp was designed to be the size of a football field and would be used to perform surveillance duties in Afghanistan.
But in 2013, the Army decided it had enough of the blimp .
“(T)he Army closed the blimp’s eye forever when it brought the project to a halt after spending nearly $300 million,” Coburn’s report reads. “The Army sold the airship back to the contractor that was building it for just $301,000.”
The National Endowment of the Humanities has awarded a professor at Hope College nearly $300,000 for a multi-player game that connects Civil War re-enactors online.
The game, titled “Valley Sim,” allows students to “take on the identity of one of 25 real-life citizens of two communities that were on opposite sides of the Civil War.”
The game is based almost entirely on an Internet chat system.
If he can lie so shamelessly about Obamacare, what else has he lied about? What more will he lie about. Benghazi? IRS? How is this man still in office?
