Our country is sadly going down the tubes at an ever increasing speed, so reading the news is like trying to skip through a sidewalk hopscotch peppered with piles of dog shit. You don’t know where to turn because the heap in the next square might be from a Saint Bernard sized problem.
His Royal Highness Barry the Bastard who already has unlimited power and has arrogantly proven the point time and again won’t negotiate with the other side, yet it’s the other side’s fault. There’s no avoiding the cliff, no siree.
We’re going over Niagra without a barrel so God help our collective asses when we hit the rocks at the bottom. Barry’s ricocheted off and left the negotiations to Joe Biden and Mitch McConnell. Katie bar the door! The tax hikes are one thing, the metaphorical cliff is another. Does anyone really know what will happen if the government stops funding more than half the country?
Doesn’t look too horrific in type, amiright? Hide and watch. The aftermath, well, that will be the Republican’s fault too. Everything is.
Barry the Bastard wants our guns. He’s vowed to ‘do everything in his power’ to get them (including leaping off a cliff and taking all of us with him), so you may as well just lie back and take it. Smoke ‘em if you got ‘em. Oh, that’s right; we can’t do that, either.
No one is to blame for Benghazi, so forget all about the people who died there. Think Fast & Furious and apply the same memory foam. Vodka works pretty well.
Aw, look who woke up: Oliver Stone says we live in an Orwellian state. Guess he’ll be moving to Eastasia soon.
The regime has killed the 1st Amendment. Heavily doctored film at 11:00!
In a new development, The Bastard also wants sole authority for US Defense – without Congress. Oh, hell, he’s done that already.
Why, pray tell, are we afraid of the people who work for us? Why do we let them control every aspect of our lives down to how much fucking soda we can buy at one time?? We’ve become our own cruel joke, which is probably why I’m eaten up with distractions. If I can’t play a game or listen to music or watch television my phone is handy while one of those loads. Noise. It keeps me from thinking. Used to be silence was my friend, but who can trust their thoughts in these troubled times?
In honor of the brave souls who fought and died for a free America, I’m trying. But increasingly I need my remote like a puppy needs a ticking clock; it’s a false god, but the normality is comforting.
Someone you should know: Amber Lyon.
Amber is an award winning investigative journalist who has traveled the world reporting on very important stuff like human trafficking. More importantly, she now reports on Obama’s war on journalism, after experiencing it firsthand. And you’ll love this: Amber on how CNN is being paid by governments worldwide [including ours] to produce and air sponsored programs disguised as news with minimal to no disclosure to viewers.
Dare I say it? Happy 2013, friends.

Think a good New Year’s resolution would be to spend more time with family and friends, and less time fretting about the news and politics which we have little to no control over. That’s what I’m going to start doing, lest I become a bitter, miserable SOB and drag everything down with me.
That would be the best resolution to make, Dave. I’m on the road to bitter already; it’s a short jog to miserable.
My resolutions involve the house this year; it’s badly in need of repair and I’m done turning a blind eye to it.
Well, I shall get ‘nother hundred or so pounds of reclaimed birdshot, load up some bird and small game loads for the shotty and melt about 75 pounds down for bullet metal, just in case the guns come over the waterfall and are returned.
Another two weeks until Linda Lou gets her other knee rebuilt. I’m going in Wednesday to a new (to me) Doc to check out why there is almost no blood circulation in my right ankle, of course I KNOW why. Seems that in February of ’67 the Tibia and Fibula both broke and came through the skin. And those sharp bone ends did a job on the arteries and veins. Not to mention the impact of what broke that leg and broke the trajectory of my military career.
And I need a stent (stint?) on the artery (or vein?) leading to or from the left leg. So, I may be out of pocket for a while.
Had to get old. Couldn’t die young and leave a good lookin’ corpse, no, I had to get old.
Oh well, I’ll have the dogs to keep me company.
It might be an adventure with both of us laid up.
Well, crap. Glad you’re getting it looked at; I’d say the no circulation thing needs taking care of ASAP. Yup, even before a new knee. But then again, I’m not a doctor.
Getting older sucks… especially when your insurance is yanked because some jug eared idiot thinks everyone would like “free” healthcare.
Yes, I’m still angry.
Hope you and Linda Lou have a wonderful 2013. I hear new knees are great; no pain and all gain! It’s just the physical therapy to get through and she’ll be good as new.
Too bad the GOP is full of spineless cowards who care about their perks than their constituents. Otherwise, they would impeach King Barry I.
Ain’t that the damn truth!
I am confused – if obamanocare is to make sure people have healthcare why was Pam & mine taken away? Going from $40 co-pay to $2500 out of pocket first is the same as no healthcare and the insurence company’s still get more than before with no output – how much did Barry get in his overseas, non taxable account for this move?
Every time I hear an increase in jet traffic over the house I have to wonder if something’s happened that requires increased security. Do I turn on the news? No. I can’t. Because then I’d be forced to hear all the other crap going on. If I hear the words “fiscal cliff” one more time I’ll vomit. If I hear one more report about how obamacare is going to save us all i’ll vomit. So, it’s easier for me to keep the news off and my eyes on “Love It or List It” or some other such drivel. Keeps me relatively sane.
I hear you! Thank goodness for Netflix and Hulu… don’t have to see news if I don’t want to..
