The Donald recently called out the people of Iowa,

Image
for being really stupid, cuz they supported Ben Carson, and I tend to believe him on this one, cuz they also support Donald Trump. SO, the Washington Post, using several methods, incl  They looked at four major metrics — a  2006 state IQ study ,  2015 SAT scores by state ,  2015 ACT scores by state  and the U.S. Census’  percentage of college graduates by state . , etc, rated all 50 states, and I'm SHOCKED. Not really... Just like all other rating systems, this one showed the top intelligence was concentrated Blue states, and the bottom of the barrel is (surprise!), Red states. Over a 90% correlation. Wow, who da thunk?  Check it out here:  http://patch.com/us/across-america/what-are-smartest-dumbest-states-america-0#comments Believe me, in my travels as a disaster insurance adjuster, and having relatives scattered throughout the country, there is a HUGE difference in the average, obvious intelligence of people, from state to state, and the S...

As we woke up this morning,

watching the national news (with Charlie Rose) about the terror attacks in Paris, the Russian plane that was bombed and Sec of State John Kerry meeting with heads of govts, Carol said, 'I don't know why the US can't join with Russia and France, and maybe others, to just go into Syria and other ISIS strongholds and just 'take 'em out'. I said that sounds like a great idea. Not 5 minutes later, Charlie Rose reported that the president of France, Hollande, is meeting with Putin and Kerry to discuss joint operations to fight ISIS, together. Wow, maybe we need a woman in charge?

Saw some excerpts this morning

Image
from a new Showtime special.   November 28 at 9 PM ET/PT on  SHOWTIME  The Spymasters:  CIA  in the Crosshairs In an unprecedented program, 12 former heads of the CIA are interviewed, to help explain terrorism as we know it. One thing comes out, STRONGLY. The CIA knew about Bin Laden and his plans to attack the US, and called SEVERAL emergency meetings with the Bush administration, in July and August of 2001. We all know what happened on 9-11. Whether the Bushies (incl the guy in charge, Dick Cheney) were just ignorant, or complicit, it's hard to say before seeing the show, BUT, I wouldn't be AT ALL SURPRISED if The Dick was involved. Sept 11, 2001 was the ONLY day, EVER, that the VP was in charge of the Air Force, for so-called War Games that involved 'false blips on radars', and the fighters that normally would have shot down hi-jacked planes had been sent into Canada on a 'training mission' controlled by Cheney. No shit. Look it up. The best source is...

The jerks on FOX

Image
are calling for a bigger military, as always, with HUGE bombers, ships etc, for their friends in the 'Defense' dept, costing us taxpayers $Billions, as the main problem is fanatics wearing suicide vests, and wanting to die as a martyr, killing infidels, in their particular brand of religion, as EVERY religion claims to know the mind of God. Just listen to 'Imagine', by John Lennon, to see the only way this can end, but it WON'T, cuz religious nuts rule the world, and vote(R) for HUGE military budgets. Always have, always will, and they ALL vote Repub, as they want a HUGE military, like it's 1940.... AS IF, it's gonna stop the 'lone wolves' who hate America, and the geeks work to sabotage computer systems, after GW and The Dick(R) wrecked the image(R) of the US, just when the memories of Viet Nam(R) were fading. Don't believe me? Travel the world and talk to the people, like we have, and find out what they think of GW and the Pubs. I thought ...

Is REALLY funny around here,

Image
as the sports writers agree with me, that Peyton is being benched cuz he sucks, BUT, it's convenient to say, 'he's injured'. Yup, he can run onto and off the field, and convince the coaching staff he should play, BUT, every aspect of his game, mental and physical, TOTALLY sucks, as he missed throws that most people could make, from a WHEELCHAIR. Yup, Peyton, you used to be GREAT, but that was a LONG time ago, and you sucked, WAY before your new injuries... Sorry buddy, but what's real is REAL PS, IF the injuries were real, then, as a PRO athlete, Peyton should have known he was in no condition to play. BUT, it wasn't a problem until AFTER he screwed up SO bad, no one could save the game. Sorry Peyton, I used to like you , BUT, that was long ago, when you could actually play the game, about a year ago.... OK, I know Peyton was a fantastic QB, and he's probably (somewhat) hurt, but he's been on a steady slide DOWN, for a long time. If you don't (w...

Last week, we had a big manhunt around here,

Image
after a cop had been shot, BUT, we found out that it was like the cop back east, who shot himself. Yup, it was a self-inflicted injury, and he got all the 'hero' treatment, before the truth came out. Yup, I know most cops are good people, BUT, they are like the general population, and there are a BUNCH of bad apples wearing uniforms and busting heads, while hiding behind their badges. Don't believe me? Just try being a minority, whether it's dark skin or long hair, and LOOK OUT if it's both. Most people never experience the Dark Side of law enforcement, but I have, SEVERAL times, and I keep being reminded, as they beat the crap out of some poor sucker, or shoot themselves for some reason. Just sayin', they're OBVIOUSLY mostly good, BUT, look out if you aren't 'politically correct', in their rightwingnut world.... PS They never 'kicked my ass', but came REAL close to trying, before I ended up spending the night in jail, BUT, I knew the...

The BAD news is,

that those who still work for a living (not OLD, like me), will have a tough drive to work tomorrow, (sorry Kari), BUT, we are gonna have some great ski conditions for Thanksgiving. The old good news, bad news scenario.....

Over 7 years into the Obama administration,

Image
when we haven't been attacked on US soil, UNLIKE the GW years, the Bozo's of Bullshit Mountain, or PARP, have this question. Gretchen's Take: Who Will Stand Up to Obama to Keep Us Safe? Well Gretch baby, you pathetic tool, maybe you can get The Dick out of retirement, IF, he isn't prosecuted as the War Criminal he is, and HE can protect your whiny, worthless ass. You're welcome......

In their ongoing battle,

Image
to tar Obama with GW's mistakes, the clowns from Bullshit Mountain, jumped on one of the MANY thousands of words, 'setback', the prez used to describe the Paris tragedy, AND when he didn't use one of their favorite terms 'radical Islam', they pounced again, with blaring headlines on FOX 'news' cuz they disagree with the semantics used to describe the horror. The dickwads who were all FOR GW's Big Adventure, that caused the whole mess, now quibble about semantics, from the safety of their desks, where they've been safe through Obama's entire administration. I say give 'em some camo's, a knife and gun and drop their chickenhawk asses in Syria, where the world is feeling the affects, after GW and The Dick 'kicked the hornet's nest'. Worthless PARP a-holes....

During a stop to 'fuel up',

Image
after her 'Them Democrats Are Dum' meeting, before heading off to a 'Ben Carson For Prezident' rally, a woman(R) stopped at her local Denny's yesterday, for their 'All You Can Eat' $4 Pancake Special. She was outraged, threw a fit, and some punches, when her 'personal server' (like Hillary's?) explained that was for ONE person, NOT a family as she was attempting to feed an entire table of people, for $4. Who da thunk?

NOW they're France's greatest buddies

Image
when it gives them a chance to trash Obama, BUT, in the run up to GW's disastrous 'Oops, No WMD's fiasco', the Pubs had a different tune. The Paris attacks serve the dual objectives of trashing President Obama and calling for  their own form of jihad  against their perceived enemies around the globe.They're incapable of seeing that by politically exploiting this most recent atrocity, as they do with every other jihadist attack, to push their authoritarian and militaristic agenda they are exposing themselves as being every bit as nihilistic as the terrorists themselves.Not long ago, in the run up to George W. Bush's invasion of Iraq, these same right-wing Republicans were screaming epithets at France because the country that today the corporate media remind us is "our oldest ally" tried to stop the war before it began.The French case was that there was not a WMD threat, and that invading Iraq would lead to fragmentation of the country and trigger ...

Just opened FOXNews on-line,

Image
and, just as I predicted, after the Paris tragedy it is ALL anti-Obama, cuz he hasn't/isn't/gonna do the right stuff, to prevent suicide bombers, which, according to PARP, is MORE bombs, and using their preferred semantics, when referring to the enemy. Yup, according to Bullshit Mountain, a Syrian, living in Belgium, planned a bombing in Paris, and was successful cuz OBAMA hasn't been able to annihilate ISIS, after GW and The Dick created them. SOS (same old shit from the Fair and Balanced rightwingnuts who blame Obama and the Dems for EVERYTHING bad in the world, after THEY unleashed the hounds of hell in the middle East. Nothing new here, but at least they are consistent, with their bullshit. I am SO sick of their crap, as they use tragedy to catapult their propaganda. PS Speaking from the safety of a country that hasn't been hit during Obama's presidency, one of the FOXClowns has this to say, Paris is the final straw. Obama’s exemption from reality has expir...

Millions of people

Image
have been obsessively following the news from Paris, putting aside other things to focus on the horror. It’s the natural human reaction. But let’s be clear: it’s also the reaction the terrorists want. And that’s something not everyone seems to understand. Take, for example,  Jeb Bush’s  declaration that “this is an organized attempt to destroy Western civilization.” No, it isn’t. It’s an organized attempt to sow panic, which isn’t at all the same thing. And remarks like that, which blur that distinction and make terrorists seem more powerful than they are, just help the jihadists’ cause. Now, PARP is calling for 'more bombs', with Ted Cruz saying we should ignore civilian casualties. This is exactly what ISIS wants, as young Ahmed and Omar, who see their innocent relatives killed and wounded, grow up with a hatred toward the west and a mission in life. Bomb 'em, (just like PARP recommends for the other team), and the cycle goes on, after GW and The Dick wrecked the de...

Just as I said, PARP is after Obama,

Image
following the Paris attacks, saying he's not 'up to the task'. The FOX clowns ignore how the U.S. hasn't been successfully attacked under his watch, while they claim (as always), we need a St Ronald. Nothing new here, as PARP tells the sheep what they wanna hear, facts be damned, while every commentator says, 'we need to bomb the hell out of them', as if that would stop the suicide bombers, but PARP (Propaganda arm of Repub Party) always has the answer, and it's ALWAYS anti-Dem and PRO-bombs. SOS from PARP, as in same old shit.....

Bottom line,

Image
Peyton was OBVIOUSLY a great QB, in his day, BUT, that day was long ago. His performance today was the culmination of MANY games, where he's REALLY sucked, as I have pointed out here, for a year or so. Remember his last Super Bowl? Too bad, cuz he was good for a LONG time, but these days, he's running on reputation and fumes, as the Denver D has won most of the Bronc's games this year, in SPITE of #18. Time to 'hang it up' old boy, before you embarrass yourself even worse, which is probably iimpossible, after today's (and this season's) fiasco. If I had a ticket stub for today's game, I'd keep it, as a collector's item, from the worst game EVER by an NFL QB. The only reason he had a 0.0 QB rating is because the system isn't designed to go under ZERO.

Although most Pubs are a joke,

because of their illogical, irrational beliefs, I kinda like Paul Ryan, cuz he is different. He seems to listen and learn, unlike most of them, who are stuck in dogmatic BS. We'll see, but maybe there is hope, IF, they listen to him and his ideas, but I doubt it, as their faves are The Donald and The Dr. RU kidding?

On Jeopardy tonight

Image
the final question was, who was Noah's wife? The mother of the only male human males left on earth.  Well, nobody knew, cuz it's just another made up story, that hardly anyone pays attention to, UNLESS, you are a rightwingnut, 'easy marks' for Pub BS, and even most of them don't know. The MOTHER of ALL people, that nobody knows?, after Adam and Eve's descendants were wiped out? If it was REAL, wouldn't we ALL know and care?, but we don't, for obvious reasons... Just another 'fairy tale', like Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny, that the sheep buy into, in SPITE of all logic. Sorta like their prez candidates, who prey upon them, for votes. PS Do you know the female part of the myth? Your MAIN ancestor? I didn't think so....

The stats will say Peyton had 4 interceptions,

Image
BUT, if you were watching the game, you know it should have been SIX. Not sure what the record is, but Peyton could very well have broken it, IF the Chiefs could have held on to easy catches, and he wouldn't have been benched.Then there were all those TERRIBLE throws he made (that I could have completed, EASILY), as he threw the ball out of bounds, over their heads or into the turf, (and I'm an old man.). WTF is going on? At my age I've have seen LOTS of sporting events, but I don't remember anything worse, than Peyton Manning, today. (well maybe, in his last Super Bowl.) What is wrong with him? I can't imagine facing the press after setting an NFL passing record, on a day that he sucked SO bad, (AGAIN) time after time after time after time....Yup, he got a record, but no one will forget this one, as he got benched, before he could be even WORSE. Sure, everyone has a bad day, but this was WAY 'off the chart', as Peyton had NINE interceptions, in two game...

Anyone who reads here, regularly, knows

Image
I have been saying ALL YEAR, (just as I have made fun of the Pubs, for the same OBVIOUS reasons) how BAD Peyton Manning has been this year. Well, now maybe others can see what is SO obvious. The Broncos have won 7 games (with their defense) in SPITE of' Manning, not BECAUSE of him. Should be obvious, by now, even to those with blinders, (like those who vote Repub, in spite of ALL evidence), as Peyton has less than 30 yds of offense in the first half, with 3 interceptions, that should have been FIVE., and a bunch of passes that WEREN'T EVEN CLOSE. Get him OUT of there, cuz he can't pass, has NEVER been able to run, his decisions are TERRIBLE, and he's mentally and physically totally INCOMPETENT. Maybe Alzheimer's, from too many concussions? PS Denver FINALLY scored, once they benched Manning, who had a QB rating of 0.0, which I thought was impossible, although at 0.0, he was OVERRATED.

I didn't watch the Dem debate,

cuz I think I know who the candidate will be, and she already has half the delegates needed. But, I did read a bit about it and found a quote from Bernie that I totally agree with. I would argue that the disastrous invasion of Iraq, something that I strongly opposed, has unraveled the region completely and led to the rise of al Qaeda and to ISIS." That's right Bernie, while the Pubs bitch about Obama's mistakes in the area, they forget (or ignore?) the OBVIOUS, which is: The reason that the Mideast is such a breeding ground for terrorists is the fact the GW and The Dick totally destabilized that part of the world with their DIASASTROUS war in Iraq, based on easily demonstrable LIES. Now, the Pubs bitch cuz Obama hasn't FIXED their mess, in the same way they bitch about the US economy not being BETTER, after the Bushies WRECKED the US economy. Remember 2008? Now they wanna be back in charge. ARE YOU KIDDING? Only a brain-washed FOXSheep could go along with that, BUT...
