I was out this morning at 6 am - still pitch dark.  I guess summer is really over....
When I was driving to the store, I heard the song "Operator" by Jim Croce...a song that was popular in the 70s....made me realize there are many younger people who have never seen a pay phone...who have never spoken to an operator..who have never made a collect call.  who have never seen a vhs video tape.  Who had not been borm before America became a haven for every reject and parasite from every other country.

Today's gem is brough to us by Morgan Freeman, who has determined the tea party is racist...I suppose he means anyone who does not agree with our colossal failure, Obama, is racist.  Apparently he is forgetting how the previous president was savaged in the press...how he was a punch line, a nightly staple for Jay Leno and David Letterman.  At any given time, approx 49% of the population will disagree with any president.  In this case, Obama is such a dismal failure that most folks with a functioning brain do not agree with him.

One of the problems with equality is that some will object when they are treated equally. Everyone was beaming with pride that a (half) black dude was elected president...but, when the criticism starts that every president has been subjected to...well, that is racist.....
It is nice that Morgan Freeman is free to comment like that...after all, he lives in a country were he is free to marry his step-grandaughter...(ick - could there be anything skeevier..or would that be more skeevy??)

but that is the state of our great country...I remember Sir Elton John commenting on American Idol when Jennifer Hudson was voted off...his comment was that the show is terribly racist...so, in order to placate sir elton douchebag, we should immediately vote off all white contestants on American Idol, Survivor, et al...and then let the show commence on a non racist basis..

the fact that these stories are even published (and I comment on them) shows you that yes....each and every day we swirl yet a bit lower in the toilet than we did just yesterday....

or is it just me...

Is it too early to start drinking yet?...it must be noon somewhere.

Will winter never end?  This weather sucks - can't do anything outside.  and, looking at the pics I post, you know I love to be outside. so, Gov. Fudd   Quinn has come up with yet another bit of geniusness....giving a tax break to families with kids.  http://www.myfoxchicago.com/dpp/news/metro/pat-quinn-taxes-state-illinois-speech-families-20120128 at a time with a bottomless pit of a budget deficit, and handing out tax breaks to every corporation threatening to leave Illinois, we are cutting more taxes to a special group...now, just who do you suppose will be asked to make up the difference?  and, of course, when the TEMPORARY income tax increase expires, what then. How ya coming on fixing the pension mess, Einstein??? Gov. Quinn:  please tell us your IQ.  If the question confuses you , please make a confused face and answer with your fingers. Does anyone miss the obligatory outdoors pic?

finally Friday. due to the overwhelming success of my Ghost Moose story (in my own mind), here is a parable entitled: THE WOLVES In a nice town where wolves were not indigenous, a wolf showed up...then another wolf....then many wolves.  The townspeople asked the government to help them get rid of the wolves...the government said "no - we will set out food for the wolves, and make them places to live".  the townspeople said "but we don't want wolves around here.  they take up space that we townspeople built, and we cannot go there because it is unsafe due to the wolves.  the wolves have gotten into our schools, and our kids cannot learn at the right pace because the teachers are too busy dealing with problems caused by the wolves.  we do not want wolves around, so please stop feeding them and making places for them to live."  The government said no - wolves are ok, and we even want them to vote in your elections.  Get used to the wolves, they ain't goin

Not much left in 2011...and each day we are a bit closer to spring... The toilet that is Illinois will be enacting over 200 new laws at the start of 2012. http://www.myfoxchicago.com/dpp/news/metro/new-year-comes-with-more-than-200-new-illinois-laws-2012-20111228 In these laws, I cannot find: - a law limiting pension abuse, and illegal enrichment - a law limiting the public's exposure to pension debt - a law prohibiting insider deals from  politicians - a law prohibiting municipalities from selling assets that have been paid for by citizens - a law prohibiting illigal aliens from parasitically consuming resources paid for by legal residents the list could go on forever.  these 200 new laws are largely to keep the middle class in line so the rich can continue to be richer. and if you throw out your compter, prepare to be fined. Illinois - what a shithole.
