If you needed more evidence that President Obama is an insignificant, sniveling, um, I can’t think of an appropriate noun (well, I can, but I think it would be considered sexist), so I’ll just say “wimp,” you got some yesterday. When a real President says, “I want to come to address a joint session of Congress on Wednesday,” the Speaker of the House does not say “gee, Wednesday’s no good for us. We can squeeze you on Thursday but you gotta be quick so we can get home to see the Saints/Packers game.”
Can you imagine if Nancy Pelosi had done the same to Dubya? Holy Christ, Rush Limbaugh would’ve either had a stroke or become severely dehydrated from loss of spit. Bush would’ve had his minions out there 24/7 expounding upon how the “Democrat Party” was playing politics with American jobs and shaming Congress into acquiescing to his will. Then he’d have told them to go Cheney themselves, and forced Congress to attend a joint session on an aircraft carrier while giving the address in a flight suit and cowboy boots.
Obama? He says, “OK, thank you Jon. Er, I mean, Mister Boehner, sir.”
Obama is to Boehner as Blair was to Bush. :pup:
F*cking sad and pathetic.
Speaking of sad, it’s goddamn September. Wow. Even though I knew it was coming, it still seems to be taking me by surprise. Worse, because it sums of the stage of life I’m in. Summer’s over, there’s still some life left, but the bone-chilling cold of winter is in the air, and I can feel the end approaching.
But first, I have to pay the school taxes. This is gonna be a tough couple of months, cash-wise. School taxes, homeowners’ insurance, car insurance (and of course the regular mortgage and utility payments). Plus I need to get some chimney liner to install a second pellet stove (that’ll probably cost $200-$300 or so), buy at least a couple tons of pellets (assuming I can figure out where the hell to put them), get a plow for my tractor so I can get the driveway plowed before my feet fall off once the snow flies again, think about getting diesel delivered so I don’t have to go get it 10 gallons at a time, and then deal with whatever “surprises” pop up. Hopefully said surprises won’t include human waste this year.
All of which will be bearable if only SU doesn’t suck this season (starting with tonight). Bonus points if the Vikings and Jets are good, the Redskins and Eagles suck, and Michael Vick suffers a career-ending injury. No, wait. Let him be healthy but play like shit.
Oh well, time to finish the pot (of coffee, that is) and make another.
Just gotta get through today, and then I’m off until next Wednesday. :banana:
First off, I didn’t think y’all had enough rain down there in OK to make the grass grow.
Second, why would you not just ask the guy to knock it off, rather than call the cops.
Third, I guess he’s lucky it wasn’t Grace Hanadarko that arrested him.
Fourth, OKat, I nominate you to be his attorney.
I’d gladly represent the poor fellow. But everyone knows there’s a drought and you shouldn’t be watering so much that you have to mow. I mean, MOW? :no:
(what idiot cops and….not that far from me) :billcat:
