THE BUZZING

The buzzing would not stop.

I sat at my desk, attempting to read some links whilst attempting to
follow the plot of an episode of Justified.

Buzz, buzz, buzz.

What the hell is that?

It went away.

A few seconds later the buzzing was back.

I viewed the new TRUMP ad.

 

 

There certainly were strange features like Mexicans running over our borders.

BULLETS AS A MAJOR THREAT TO OUR NATION'S HEALTH

By Richard Day on Thu, 12/31/2015 - 4:24pm |

 


Sometimes there are no practical solutions to a conundrum.

I reside in a seventeen floor apartment building; I am lucky enough to live on the second floor.

There have only been two 'small' emergencies over the last ten years.

       A small fire in the laundry room
       A bit of flooding (due to a faulty sprinkler system?)


We do have five? fire alarms a year.

MERRY XMAS DAGBLOGGERS!

By Richard Day on Wed, 12/23/2015 - 11:31pm |

I think Moat was writing about philosophy with Peracles. ha

I like to read stuff like that.

I think sometimes about going into the garage, turning on the engine, ensuring that the garage door is secured and then losing my soul. But I have no car or garage.

My son brought his children to my apartment for the first time.

SPITE & THE ENVIRONMENT

By Richard Day on Mon, 12/14/2015 - 4:59pm |

When Ronald Reagan first arrived at the White House, he removed the solar cells from the roof of his new home that had just been installed by Jimmy Carter.

WHY?

Out of spite or was it due to the lobbyists who were afraid of this new technology OR was it due to energy lobbyists?

Okay, I need a new notebook.

I mean, I need pages that can be properly folded!

I watch my cable far tooooo much.

Yet, I eschew most of the messages.

These ads tell me I am in need.

And who the hell is not in need?

COLLATERAL DAMAGE & TRUMP

By Richard Day on Thu, 12/03/2015 - 4:32pm |

Trump just got to me again.

I found this quote on the KO's:

The other thing with terrorists is you have to take out their families, when you get these terrorists, you have to take out their families. They care about their lives, don't kid yourself. When they say they don't care about their lives, you have to take out their families."

Collateral Damage is a wonderful term, do you not think.

WHERE DO WE GO FROM HERE?

I have come to realize that my voice is irrelevant.

Beck feels that he is not irrelevant.
But Beck has millions of followers and Beck makes hundreds of millions of dollar, every damn year.
So how could Beck be irrelevant?

Limbaugh decided that he is not irrelevant. 
And Rush has millions of followers and he makes hundreds of million dollars everydamn year. 
So how in the hell would Rush ever feel he was irrelevant?
