The Lights Are Out

Image
Well now, the Government is indeed... SHUT DOWN! ...as the Demos did their thang, and vetoed the continuance of monies to keep the country working ...there you go, our MONEY voting elected officials...them Senators...thought it be better to stop everything, rather than pass the bill to flow the bills...truth be known, the blokes and blokettes did NOT go home...they stayed and are working on an alternate plan to get the pais back up and running... 'what can you do for moi?' ...I'd scrap them all... The Women's March ...supposed to be everywhere in this fine nation today...ie, here in the downtown...I'm confused... are there going to be opposition marches? ...for and against abortion?...er, right to choose?...and it says, women...is that women only?...Prez T is to address the march in DC...I dunno, I can't believe that the one here in SD would want him speaking to them...he just may be the reason for them gathering and a walking... The Pats and Jags game in...

Shut Down

Image
Ah, the monthly crisis of the US Government ...can Congress come up with enough cash to keep the place a running?...listen kids, this is not unique to this regime...seems that it's the Demos turn to block what the Repubs put up ...in Prez O's time, it was just the Opposite ...thus far, the House says OK, and now it's in the Senate...talking the bill to keep the bills a flowing... 100 of them highly educated, people serving, Senatorial types are debating it, 60 are needed to keep the country alive ...they are thinking 'what's in it for me?'...lawdy...they have today to work it out...or, SHUT DOWN! ... Maybe a bunch of the streets will be just that in our area...for a march...the so called 'March For Life' ...I guess it is nationwide...ie, in DC...the anti-abortion movement...wait, hasn't that always been the evangelical cry?...whatever happened to the right to choose?... Hmmm, what do you think about when you have a surrogate make your baby?....

Itchycoo Park

So, if that's what you call the title of your song... 'Itchycoo Park' ...you must have Small Faces ...what the heck does that mean?...catchy song from the Brits...circa 1967...with loads of rumors of it's meaning and whereabouts...actually, was a fictitious name for an area where the Faces played as youngsters...over the pond, kids... Why our news sources are glossing over the fact that South and North Korea are competing as ONE in the Winter Olympics amazes me...it should be a huge item, and it is not...what are we talking about?...some foo and his wife chaining their 13 kids up...how the heck does he father 13 kids?...I can think of one thing that should happen...is this more important than the Korean crisis?... I have been talking about the friskiness of the NBA players ...fights, near fights, shoves, and the locker visits...fine and suspend them, Mr Commissioner...give them a week...it'll stop...but, here is the fact...the blokes make way too much money....

Weird Wednesday

Morning, kids...alas, it is a golf day ...and am outta here at 7...thus, this is a quickie...some teasers, that may get ya going... Koreas ...maybe just Korea?...the two are going to combine for the Winter Olympics...this is great news...and, hopefully, more comraderie in the works... The Handmade Tale ...bought it...watched the 1st episode and didn't like it...both of us...what is the appeal?...are we missing something?...dang, $25 down the drain... The NBA has lost their grip on the scuffling...as more and more players are doing so...hmmm...it's that time of the season...way too long a one...that tempers are short..me thinks, there are inner struggles, too...need a break... The WSU QB to be...a death by suicide...oh my...I can never get a finger on why someone would take their own life... THE book ...Fire and Fury...is a must read...just when you thought that you have a clue to the inner workings of our government, this will shake you up...if true... Did watch...

Silly Ball

The NBA had a full docket of games, on MLK's Holiday ...I guess to honor him... there were clips of 'stars' explaining what Mr King and the special day meant to them ...I'm not sure they really feel it...maybe so...I dunno...but, back to the league...they had some special games...the featured one...was the Golden St Warriors visiting the Q...ha ha, Cleveland's version...and playing the Cavs ... The Dubs came to life in the 4th stanza and whupped the home team ...as the demise of the King led Cavaliers, continues...I repeat myself here, but t he addition of the PG Isiah Thomas, is a subtraction to that group ...he is no where close to the dude that they traded away, Kyrie Irving... However, the blog story of the day, and, er nite ...was the Houston Rockets at the LaLa Clip Joint ...the underlying piece is that the PG of Houston, CP III, was back playing at the place he jilted . ..the crowd gave him a rousing ovation...for the times he was there...but not so ...

I Have A Dream

It is MLK Day... Martin Luther King ...seems to me, that it took a while to get this to be a National Holiday ...in my youth, as the walls of bigotry were crumbling...a bit... the leader was Mr King ...who believed in non-violence...and led his people to equality in the States...yes, judging was done by the color of one's skin... In my collegiate days, there was this civil rights issue, as well as the horrid Vietnam War ...the country was exploding with anger and frustration...the assassinations of leaders of the different movements was even more terrifying... JFK, his brother RFK, and MLK , all lost their lives during this time...to the bullet... I remember it as tragic...and, at the same time, hopeless... Time took over...to heal. ..and bring promise to our culture...I suppose... listen, it is still a work in progress... Other... Had a terrific meal at Benihana's ...for the birthday girl...having the cooker, do the meal right in front of you, is way cool...thanks t...

Human Error

Can't think of a more frightening warning... 'Missile Attack! ... seek shelter immediately!!!' ...this is what was issued to the Hawaiian Islands...yesterday...turns out the fears were unfounded...or were they?... somebody pushed the wrong button ...something like that... Human Error ...listen, the fear is still there...why is there panicking at all?...of course, the North Korean foo has left that idea out there ...yet, how can the state allow the warning out?...'fake warning'...hmmm, come to think of it, I will turn on that feature on my iPhone... Imagine lying on the beach in Maui , and getting the warning...where the heck would you go?...they have underground sites?...hmmm, maybe we should watch 'Pearl Harbor', the flick again... I'm not telling ya that the Titans would have won the game at New England...but some key early calls were blatantly missed, or favored the Patriots. ..that may have changed the way the game was going...in so much, as I...
