I'm Going Crazy!

Some folks would say I have already gone crazy....some would probably argue I have always been crazy....but at last I, myself, think I am sliding over that line between being being merely annoyed and actually being driven crazy by politicians and the American Media.

Perhaps it was the several days of being cooped up on the boat with a bad head cold, compounded by the arrival of August with its soul killing heat and humidity that brought this on as I had plenty of idle time to contemplate the situation extant in American Politics. Reading the Winston-Salem Journal Editorial Pages surely played a part in my demise.

A few of the things that worked on my only nerve recently.

Harry Reid (D-NV), Senate Majority Leader blamed the Media for the deadline on the Obama Health Care Bill. I guess the Dimwit missed all the Obama Press Conferences, speeches, and Town Hall meetings where Obama urged haste and said the Bill had to be on his desk by the August recess.

Nancy Pelosi....pick anything that Witch said! God but she likes to call other folks "Villians"! It scares me I pray for the continued good health of Obama and Biden....but only because Nancy is in line for the front office! Where's Japan Air Lines when you need them, Clancy?

The Obama Health Care Bill itself.....Lord God Almighty...when the Democrats cannot agree on a Social Program structure and Bill then how can the Republicans be blamed for being the hold up?

Obama, clearly stating he did not have the facts, calls the Cambridge Police out following the arrest of Skippy Gates, then tries to weasel out of his gross mistake, and can not find it in himself to apologize for slandering the Officers, then compounds that by suggesting a beer or two will make things good.

Michael Jackson dies from an overdose of illegal drugs, the rotten little pervert, and the whole world mourns his passing and makes him out to be a Saint.

We get "Cash for Clunkers" and the government cancels the program despite millions of dollars of dealer advertising yet to be aired....then turns around and adds twice as much money to the program telling the dealers to keep selling cars, all the while knowing the new money has to be approved by Congress which might just not happen! What if we had not bailed out GM and Chrysler and thrown all those Billions of dollars into a "Buy a New Car Now!" program....would not quite a few taxpayers derive some direct benefit from that along with car dealers, mechanics, auto parts suppliers, detailers, tire shops, and the auto makers along with DMV licensing, property tax collectors, and others that feed off the auto industry? Perhaps the UAW would not have been as happy but then....oh....right....that is why!

Chris Dodd, up to his nostrils in ethics violations, gets Obama's express support for his re-election campaign in 2010. Remember the new Hope and Change mantra where Obama swore to clean up Washington Politics?

Charlie Rangel, also up to his nostrils in corruption and ethics charges, actually bragged "he" was the one who called for his own investigation by the Ethics Committee. Yeah, right!

Obama, anticipating his up coming staunch defense of Skippy, refused to rush to judgement on the Iranian government's gunning down protesters who were claiming rigged elections. Granted, most of the civilized world did take exception to the gunfire and murder. Must be Obama is a bit immune to those complaints coming from Chicago and the Daly Machine. After all, the Iranians were not interrogating terrorists guilty of truck bombing vegetable markets or masterminding the 911 attacks or cutting off Danny Pearl's head.

Right! Enough! Any more of this and I will be making up a hangman's noose and eyeing the yardarm on Luna!

When things get this way....I resort to a good dose of Michael Ramirez or Mallard Fillmore cartoons and the demons seem to fade away a bit.

Trip to Lookout delayed....lots of storms, wind, rain, and a pair of empty propane tanks on the boat. Grocery load out today, top off water tanks, fill the propane tanks tomorrow morning and away we go.

Frady missed on his timing and took off this morning at about 0430....having awakened me twice for morning chow. First time at 0355...which coincided with a head call. Then at 0425 when he nibbled on my hand and told me the half day old canned chow I put in his bowl was not acceptable and I would open a new can forthwith and with all due haste, deliver said fresh chow into his dining gear.

Cats are not demanding creatures....not at all!
