Clunkers

So don't get me wrong about this, the "Cash For Clunkers" has some merit to it....you can get up to $4500 for your drivable clunker...and it does clear the US of many carbon dioxide smoking machines, it does clear the path for new cars, it does keep the car companies in production, it does keep the car crashers busy...but the cubing of cars does come at the expense of the American taxpayer...twice it has been funded...and who gets the vouchers? Supposedly mostly the states with the most traffic...Michigan (I suppose GM and Ford?) and California car companies....and what are the people buying with their clunker credit? Top 5 are the Toyota Camry, Toyota Prius, Toyota Corolla, Honda Civic, and the Ford Focus...Well, you see where I am going with this...and what are the leading clunkers? the Ford Explorer,Ford F150, Jeep Cherokee, Jeep Grand Cherokee, and the Dodge Caravan...is it the Toyota and Honda rigs are better made? Duh...the jury is out on this...
Speaking of juries, Sotomayor was confirmed as the new Supreme Court Justice..."I can't recall that statement..." The Dems controlled the Congress and she didn't have to answer anything...
The answer? Everth Cabrera in the bottom of the 9th...walk off grand slam to punish the Mets (again)!
I have to admit I love football season...and there is a lot of hype on the Chargers and the Aztecs...as well as my team up north, the Ducks...
Tiger on the prowl at Bridgestone...
Clunk, clunk, clunk...er

He is alive and kicking...

Top of the morning, friends...as we embark on a shortish Cosmo trip (6+ hours) up north to see the kids. ..we try to see them every month or two....whatever works for us, and them...school has just started for them...and Cy has both football and soccer, he is playing...Cas, at 3, is still a wannabe... The distancing of trump with the public, was a bit weird, right?. ..he emerged and was talking the same...his appearance was a bit shaggy...he must have had the flu, or, well, Covid, or something...but, he is NOT DEAD....and still up to his shenanigans...same old...anything to bring up, to divert the people from hearing about the Epstein Files ...he unabashedly, called the whole thing a 'Democratic Hoax'... Hmmm...as 6 of the Survivors of it...(the Epstein Case) ...were talking, not only to the House....but, to the public, yesterday...as MTG was front and center with it...which, too, was odd...a fallout from trump?...or, a plant within the group?...no, trump, it is not a hoax.....

The Ignominy

So much for diplomacy ... the absolute embarrassment by the current President of the US...his actions in 'hosting' the Ukranian President Zelensky ... as it turned out, a highly visual representation of bullying by trump...the manners and methodology that he uses on people...aligned with his arse kissers, waiting their turn to take potshots at Zelenksy...all well orchestrated ...it was the ULTIMATE IGNOMINY of our country's 'leader'...unfortunately, for us, too...as somehow we are connected to that ogre...in reality, we are not... hoping the rest of the World can see that...here are samples of the headlines throughout that depict the sentiment of the slaughter... We are NOT aligned with Putin...WE ARE NOT!...trump is ...which begs a different query...how much longer can this idiocy go on?... I keep asking this...what does Putin have on trump, anyway...it must be a formidable foible... Talk to me, kids... This ploy of the orange...to actually simulate a firing squa...

A Trial, Indeed

The revenge tour is ramping up ...as we gawk at the unchecked moves by trump ...even SCOTUS , the last leg of justice, is wobbling beneath his demands... this country is in disarray ...I wish I could give you better news... The unsightly attack of one of his Icetapo behemoths, on a lady in New York...taking her to the ground...an example of the uncontrolled behavior of that organization...guess that is what you call the group... simply, out of control, with NO LIMITS of force ...sad...and disgusting... The indictment of his former FBI head, James Comey ...for lying (imagine that from a legendary liar, trump) to Congress...this court case is needed for the country...to show the fallacy of the regime that is running rampant all over the land...it needs to be a BIG STAGE! ... A trial, indeed... In data released by trump's own government...the largest groups of detainees...the Icetapo's achievement of rounding up people...are not the ones with ANY CRIMINAL RECORD , but, 'illeg...
