Semi-Simple Bad Plus

Way to go Local! Once again we are champion of the world as far as Whiskey. Feels good. ( I have never had one of these “Big Ginger” drinks, I would try it, but I do prefer my Whiskey with a bit of ice).

Obama has been repeating over and over how he inherited “this deficit.” As if to say, I am blameless about it because the buck stopped somewhere else. Now that he has added $800 billion in stimulus and $1.75 trillion in the new budget, he can blame it all on the past as well, because of “failed policies” and “broken promises.” But I will blame the him and the rest of the government.

Another point – all news networks should employ an alert vis-a-vis the Ice Man “Bullshit” comment from Top Gun(1:58 in the above vid) for high ranking government officials (aka Obama) who say things like, “Secretary XYZ is saving the government $20 million by streamlining processes and improving technology.” This is BS on 2 levels. Level 1, “streamlining processes and improving technology” is meaningless language for “we are better managers and are really going to kick ass.” Point 2, $20 million is like .0000000008% of the budget deficit. That is like me telling my wife that I negotiated with the cable company and I saved us 1/20th of a penny over the next 5 years.

Talk is cheap, unless you are the President.

I had lunch at a local bar that has a pizza buffet. A nice lunch of pizza and Guinness. At this particular bar there seemed to be an over abundance of unshaven, fat men in sweatpants.

If you are drinking at noon on Monday in a bar and you cannot shave or put on normal clothes you have a problem. Either a drinking problem or a fashion problem. If I were the proprietor of this establishment I would think hard about how to set some sort of dress code.

I really like this.

CBS Exposes The Obama Campaign’s Financing

Last night, after a midnight feeding of the babe, I was unable to sleep. I watched a few taped episodes of Doctor Who. Between that, a big bowl of chili, and a pair of heavy White Russians(Lolita and Margarita), I though I would conquer my sleeplessness. It worked, but not until 6 am.

In the mean time, I had the idea of inviting people from distant places to talk and communicate with me. Rather than question wether or not such individuals exist, I am going to operate from the assumption that they do and that there is a global cocktail party culture that is just ripe for the crashing. There are humans out there that have a connection with alien societies and they simply keep it a secret because they don’t want to put up with the shit they would have to deal with if it became public. These humans are livin’ la vida loca and I want in.

If anyone is either a human that has such a connection or if you are an alien from a different world and you want a drinking buddy, feel free to contact me. I will be cool about it. I might post about it, for posterity’s sake, but there are no worries about that, everyone thinks I am full of shit, so they will assume it is creative writing.

In addition to that, I pride myself on being a live and let live sort of individual. So if you are into something really out of this world(maybe you are one of the folks that keeps reading my sex with cows post), I can handle it. I am a little bored with our world, so I am open to a little excitement. Brilliant!

Live long and prosper and may the force be with you…
