TIDES; TIGER & THE BABE!

by Richard Day 5/18/2013 - 2:53 am

I am missing Smith.

So I am creating this non-Haiku in the hopes I can find out how he is doing.

 

I was thinking about tides.

We can better understand the miraculous as long as we admit the miracle of tides.

The ole 'ebb and flow' as they say.

Babe Ruth is a hero of mine.

He was some Irish mug who was thrown away by his parents and tossed out of school and picked up by a Priest. [Read more]

HERE COMES THE SUN & THE WIND & NATURAL GAS &...

by Richard Day 5/7/2013 - 3:52 pm

I scanned a nice article at NYT forecasting how our energy needs will change over the next decade.

But it really is the progress our nation has made over the last five years that astounds me.

We are really close to seeing America as a net oil exporter!

Alternative sources of energy are cutting our dependency on coal.

Alternative sources of energy are creating jobs!

New sources of traditional fuel are creating jobs; real jobs paying good money. [Read more]

TOY GUNS!

by Richard Day 5/3/2013 - 3:16 pm

The NRA is having another convention and crazy crazy people will show up and give grand speeches about liberty and the Constitution and the commie liberals.

Mediamatters does a splendid job demonstrating how the voices of the right including Hannity and Nugent and beckerhead and so many other nutjobs have been calling for out-right revolution over the last few years.

Talk about yelling 'fire' in a crowded theater? [Read more]

CRUZIN WITH CRUZ; EXCEPT HE AINT AMERICAN!

by Richard Day 5/1/2013 - 8:54 pm

Senator Cruz

 

Speaking of revolutions:

Ted Cruz has been accused of setting himself up for a 2016 run for the Presidency!

Ted Cruz has denied these charges.

Like Joan Walsh postulates:

IT AINT GONNA HAPPEN!

And yes, I would welcome a Cruz candidacy.

What a wonderful opportunity to run against Joe McCarthy! [Read more]

I HAD A WONDERFUL DAY!

by Richard Day 4/29/2013 - 10:28 pm

 

 

I had a wonderful day.

Spring was more than a month late but damn I had a wonderful day.

It was 67 F for chrissakes!

Seany notified me by email that he would arrive with the troop on the weekend, like two days before the event.

I did not expect the troop until sometime in May.

We had just experienced a blizzard six days beforehand.

The roads and paths were impassable. [Read more]

THE PROM PROBLEM

by Richard Day 4/17/2013 - 3:46 am

 

MISCEGENATION

 

We as a nation have so many dire issues facing us.

The 21^st century has presented us with a new Boston Massacre.

And there has been little news presented of late that even touches upon other dire issues that effect this country.

I still think that a discussion regarding race is important and it actually touches upon the racist attacks brought on by the right wing mass media in retaliation to this event. [Read more]

GUIELESS GILE; JACK-ASS JAKE & OVERT RACISM

by Richard Day 4/10/2013 - 3:43 pm

FUNNY & GUILELESS

Saline County Commissioner Jim Gile (R) used the term "nigger-rigging" during a commission discussion April 2 about hiring an architect to work on a county building, the Salina Journal reported on Saturday. Gile apologized for the comments, but residents called for his resignation during a commission meeting Tuesday afternoon...

 

"I am not a prejudiced person," Gile told the Salina Journal. "I have built Habitat homes for colored people."

There are other punch lines, believe it or not, to this story. See also:
