DISPATCHES FROM THE GHOST MOOSE

that snowstorm made a mess of things.  but it is melting today, so all will soon be well.  I am still counting on golfing in March.  here are a couple good stories.... the ceo of Yahoo is making remote employees now work in the office. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2284828/Yahoo-boss-Marissa-Mayer-angers-employees-building-nursery-baby-office.html but she has a nursery built next to her office, presumably to preserve her work/life balance.  I won't even mention that she was pregnant when hired, and had a leave right after starting.  I love when leadership of a company has one set of rules for them, and one set of rules for the people that do the work.  work/life balance, best places to work awards....really good ideas until a company realizes they need to treat their workers like dirt to get the job done.  know anyone that works at a place like that?  I do.  we all do.  we all work at a place like that. and then there ...

supposed to snow later.  this is the point of winter when I've had enough.  ready for winter to be done.  but, it is February, so we should expect a few more weeks of suckage. I got a laugh out of this story: http://losangeles.cbslocal.com/2013/02/25/real-life-fight-club-at-victorville-high-school/ high school kids putting on boxing gloves AND BOXING!!!!!  oh my god...our little snowflakes punching each other......when I was a kid, growing up in Chicago, we boxed all the time.  someone would have gloves from their dad's time in the service, and we would lace them up and box.  Punch like crazy for 30 seconds then just stand and pant.  We also had boxing night in boy scouts - the leaders would match you up with another kid, and we'd box.  the kids who did not want to fight would be sick that night....now it would be a national story..... in addition to being a country loaded with parasites, we have also become pussified.  but, ...

the sun is coming up earlier now, and staying up later in the day.  the time change is in 2 weeks, so that will be good.  daylight until after 6 pm.  the rhetoric continues...tens of thousands of job cuts happening due to our messiah's failure to lead....his failure to organize like he organized communities low those years ago.  so, jobs will be cut....this, after a multimillion dollar weekend last week where we sent moochelle and the kids on a ski vacation while our leader went golfing to florida.  did we cut those vacations?  nah...did we cut aid to illegals - why, no.  but let's cut tax paying jobs. if you have no leader, expect not to be led.

sunday...still cold, but the nascar season starts today...and will end in November.  the crash yesterday was pretty bad.  imagine getting seats near the finish line and having a tire end up in your lap.  that is why I will be watching the race from my couch with the remote in hand. looks like the sequester will force the govt to cut air control towers and will inconvenience travelers by cutting tsa and leading to 3 hour waits in line. hey..how about cutting funding for Obama phones, or aid to illegals, or aid to countries that hate, or aid to banks and other bailed out failed companies? nah....better to screw with middle class travelers than mess with the  data plan of parasitic free phone users. what a mess we are in. but the race starts at noon, so all is well.  until the race ends, anyway.  then we go back to the suck.

I thought of this joke when I was leaving the health club today, on my way to the liquor store to by lottery tickets..... q: How can you tell if someone has a job? a: they go to the health club then to the liquor store to buy lottery tickets q: how can you tell if that person with the job needs a new job? a: they are really counting on one of those lottery tickets being a winner, and are bummed when they don't win. hey wait....there is a taylor swift song in there somewhere. but enough of that drivel for now.  Daytona is on tomorrow - the gateway to spring. I will let you know tomorrow if I won the lottery....I probably will win.

2/22.....wow, what a cosmic date anomaly.  got to go buy some lottery tickets with random numbers instead of 2s.  off work today.  so, now to fire up the snow blower and do the driveway.  the news has been full of stories of the minor snowfall we had overnight.  much ado about something that happens frequently in the winter. did you pay your fair share?  look at this story: http://www.detroitnews.com/article/20130221/METRO01/302210375 half the homeowners in Detroit did not pay their property taxes.  presumably, their fair share is added to your fair share.  and you and I get to pay it.  that is fair, right?  city services and cell phones aren't free, you know. and then there is this... another kid molested by a TSA scumbag...the race of the child...why, white, of course....did you have to ask? http://www.wftv.com/news/news/toddler-wheelchair-heading-disney-cries-during-run/nWWGc/ when will we learn to dress like muslims and t...

supposed to snow tonight.  it is winter, but it is getting old.  even though it has not been a bad winter, enough is enough.  look at the news about anything related to DC politics.  Have things ever been worse?  has there ever been a more polarizing figure as president?  or maybe it is always like this, but somehow I doubt it.  fair share....why is the fair share of the middle class a never ending, always expanding fee we must pay for the upkeep of the parasites among us?  we be screwed.
