ITT Tech died.

I made fun of their ads for years?

Hell this institution might have helped some folks, I really do not know.

But this notice just got to me in light of the Trump University crap.

THE FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL

By Richard Day on Wed, 09/07/2016 - 9:14pm |

This link got to me.

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/stacey-skrysak/why-im-the-mom-crying-at-_b_11793692.html?

This mother lost two of three triplets, evidently and it recounts her taking her four year old to preschool for the first time and then LEAVING HER THERE. hahahhah

My granddaughter is going to her first day of preschool on Monday, next.

The parents had to work out the delivery system as well as the recovery system.

THE AMERICAN DREAM

By Richard Day on Wed, 09/07/2016 - 6:28pm |

WORKIN ON THE RAILROAD
150 years ago a strange type of caste system was created.

The railroads needed engineers as well as hard working men to keep the engines running as well as look-outs making sure that the rails were cleared and many other positions related to a new tech that shrank America in terms of trade.

Phyllis Schlafly Finally Died

Following Ramona's instructions, I add this link:

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/conservative-activist-phyllis-schlafly-dead-at-92_us_57ce0171e4b0a22de096adfe?

Peracles does the best recap of Schlafly's death. Peracles should just do his own post on this.

To tell the truth, I shall miss her.

Ann Coulter is not good enough to even shine Phyllis' shoes.

Her death represents the end of an era in this country.

Maddow Takes On Trump

By Richard Day on Thu, 09/01/2016 - 10:05am |

http://www.politicususa.com/2016/03/12/rachel-maddow-busts-donald-trump-proof-rally-violence-deliberate.html

Rachel takes on Trump all the time.

I just caught this last night?

I have never seen such a demagogue as Trump in my entire life, at least on the political stage of this country.

I just felt that Rachel Maddow did a fine job playing videos and adding a bit of historical context to Donald Trump.

Half a day and nothing is happening on this blog anyway.

Take a look.

A PHILOSOPHICAL TAKE ON THE ELECTIONS

By Richard Day on Tue, 08/30/2016 - 1:00pm |

Always do right, you will gratify some and astonish the rest.
(M. Twain)

The issue that Mr. Clemens is referring to deals with the definition of 'right'.

Any tome discussing the topic of 'ethics' must refer to the axiom:

Always avoid the appearance of impropriety.

Appearances will always trump any concept of 'real' impropriety because of evidentiary concerns.

IT'S A HARD RAIN GONNA FALL!

By Richard Day on Mon, 08/22/2016 - 2:36pm |

There evidently is nothing but T's in the Trump Team.

It is extremely difficult for me to become surprised over anything involving this campaign.

Even the KO's announce that the Onion is receiving way too much competition of late.

But when I heard that Michele Bachmann was back in the news, we....

WHAT I WAS THINKING

I am so damn sick of the political mess.

I could not stand it anymore.

I began working on this blog and the word thingy was not working and I was about to lose my thoughts.

hahahahaha

Feds Stop Using Private Prisons

By Richard Day on Thu, 08/18/2016 - 4:27pm |

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/private-prisons-doj_us_57b5d5f0e4b034dc73260344?section=&

The Department of Justice announced that it will no longer tolerate the use of private prisons run by the Penal Industry.

THIS IS A BIG DEAL TO ME.

States must follow this lead.

Lieberman Backs Hillary?

By Richard Day on Thu, 08/11/2016 - 6:03am |

http://www.newsmax.com/politics/joe-lieberman-endorses-hillary-clinton/2016/08/10/id/743082/

Joe Lieberman (remember him?) has endorsed Hillary Clinton as President of the United States of America.

hahahah

http://www.newsmax.com/politics/joe-lieberman-endorses-hillary-clinton/2016/08/10/id/743082/

For some reason, this is a big deal to me!

His main man, McCain of course still endorses the dark side of the force. hahahahah

I just found this interesting.

And I always seem to forget that Joe L was the VP candidate under Gore.

REVOLVER IS 50!

By Richard Day on Mon, 08/08/2016 - 9:46pm |

The Beatles meant little to me in the eighth grade. hahaha

She Loves You Ya Ya Ya....?

What the hell does that mean?

But Love, Love Me Do....

Well that was something else, to me anyway.

Stereo Williams from The Beast reminds us of Revolver.

TRUMP MAY BE ILL

By Richard Day on Wed, 08/03/2016 - 3:47pm |

Years ago I wrote a blog about a female presidential candidate and folks were unsettled with regard to my hypotheses through their comments.

Lately on shows like Lawrence O'Donnell we are presented with experts who feel that donald is a narcissacist or manic depressive or whatever.

HOW DO WE KNOW....II

GENESIS I

How do we know what we know?

By Richard Day on Sat, 07/30/2016 - 1:06am |

I got this epiphany of sorts.

Where should I put this thought or these thoughts?

I started something earlier in the week and I shall get to it.

How to begin?

My Grandaughter went to my son.

And she asked a simple question, the type of question I never ever asked or questioned.

She asked her Dad:

Why am I Noela?

First, she went to Dad and not Mom?

HANNITY EXPLODES!

By Richard Day on Fri, 07/22/2016 - 8:52pm |

Bill Maher was stupendous during his harangues against the fascists at the repub convention.

Then Jon Stewart showed up and got me laughing so damn hard! He was attacking Hannity directly.

But Hannity's response really got to me.
