Enjoying the rain today and glad its not tomorrow.

Man Walking In The Rain - pixgood.com

It’s been raining here all day.

I had to dash out for a little while to deal with a client issue. Thankfully traffic wasn’t too bad and I didn’t have to go far. 

The rain in my local area has been pretty constant. Not terribly heavy so a lot of it is soaking into the ground. I noticed the wash was roaring but that’s not surprising since the mountain to the south is over 8000 feet of mostly bare granite.  Almost all of the water that or snow that falls there runs straight into the wash. I see that water rushing downhill and I think it’s a pity we can’t capture it just long enough to let it soak into the slopes.

I got lucky too. I’ve got a Drs. Appointment tomorrow, so the majority of the storm should have passed and the roads won’t be oil slicks.

Doctor

It’s my annual physical so I get to do the full monty, sigh.

In general, I don’t mind having my nether regions squeezed & fondled. But usually I know I’m going to have a nice orgasm at the end. The anti-climax of a medical exam is a real letdown.  Thank god I don’t have a medical fetish or I’d be really frustrated. 

As it is I have to go in fasting. Fine, I don’t usually eat breakfast anyway.

I can’t have my usual coffee either and that makes me just a TAD cranky. The appointment isn’t until 11am, I can’t even imagine what I’ll be like in the waiting room.

Exam Room Waiting

It’s been a while since I had sex as well.

I can’t rub one out either because the Doc likes a PSA test where you’ve been fasting on the sex front as well. I’ll ask him if the robins egg blue of my balls is appropriate for the PSA test.

As much as I love that guy, there are times when I wonder if he’s a closet sadist! 

On the up side, it gives me fodder to mess with him. Maybe after he’s done with the exam  I’ll ask him if I could have a few minutes alone with a tube of lube and offer to whitewash one wall of the exam room and maybe part of the ceiling too.

I don’t know if that would freak him out or just embarrass him. Either way I get to exact a little revenge. I like the idea of him trying to keep it together with his next patient. I suspect that secretly, he looks forward to me putting a little chaos, and off color humor into his day.

I guess that’s why he calls me “Trouble”

Here we are again.

The blank page mocks me.

I had been working on a piece about the Ferguson riots. I’ve decided that all of it has been said, I have nothing new to offer.

I’ve been following the metamorphosis of the protests with interest. It’s been fascinating to see the “Call for Justice for Michael Brown” change into a generic indictment of racism in America, to specific finger pointing saying that White People are the problem with this country.

I’m amused that the protesters fail to see the irony in their calls for an end to racism while simultaneously screaming “Down with Whitey”

In the past six days I’ve seen some of the most racist comments I’ve ever seen. Oddly, those comments were leveled at white people typically by nonwhite people.

The exchange to the right is the most benign of the bunch. I had to point out that if Nicole He were a white man, She’d already have been fired from her job at Kickstarter.

This is representative of the double standard. I wonder if we can start a meme called #minorityprivilege or would that be racist?

This page still mocks me…

Justice? Ferguson, I don’t that that word means what YOU think it means.

Ferguson Exm1

By now we’ve all heard that Ferguson is essentially in a panic, (or so the main stream media would have us believe) and that regardless of the Grand Jury’s decision there is going to be rioting, looting, demonstrations, and all sorts of mayhem. I strongly suspect that Wilson will be indicted, not because of the evidence but out of fear of the looters and damage that will be done to the community if the Grand Jury doesn’t indict him.

I feel sorry for officer Wilson, his life will never be the same, his life was forever altered the moment he encountered Michael Brown. When officer Wilson fired his weapon even, without the controversy Wilson himself was irrevocably changed. 

Ferguson Exm2

I’ve personally witnessed the grief, guilt, and depression that follows an officer involved shooting. What no-one sees is the officer’s torment and second guessing themselves. “Did I do the right thing? Was there an alternative? Why did I have to be on duty then?” If the suspect dies, there’s this; “My God, I just killed another human being.”

I’ve held a cop in my arms while he cried. I watched a kangaroo court of “Justice” destroy him and his wife.

Even after the inquest determined that the shooting was justified and in defense of he and his partner, his career was destroyed… sacrificed on the altar of Politically Correct bullshit, in the wake of the Rodney King riots.

Truth

My friend was never right again, his relationship with his wife was almost destroyed, certainly it was permanently altered. That’s what’s not covered by the media.

When he moved to a new city, he became a heavy equipment operator trying to pick up the pieces of his life I realized for the first time; Lady Justice is lying on the court house steps beaten, bloody, and raped

There is no law or justice, when the whims of public opinion rule the day. 


I may write more after we hear the decision.

I’m surprised that the Grand Jury didn’t indict officer Wilson

 

Old Stompy Foot is at it again

NewImage

I don’t admire the President’s policies or politics.

I do admire his single-mindedness of agendas. He managed to ram Obamacare down our throats apparently by capitalizing on weaknesses of the American people as Identified by Jonathan Gruber. 

Now, Ol Stompy is at it again. 

This time he’s intending to bypass Congress with an Amnesty plan which just a year ago he said wasn’t amnesty. We all know what this is and it’s got nothing to do with more voters, or helping the “Poor” immigrants. This is 100% about vindictiveness.

Obama ESB

The Democrats lost the midterm and got spanked pretty soundly. Stompy, is pissed off and he’s going to do everything in his power to punish the evil bastard conservative, American voters. Isn’t that what his whole administration has been built on?

Just look at the scandals

NSA — Spying on Americans (I’ll grant you that started after 9/11 but it shouldn’t have been continued.)

Weaponized IRS — Yeah Nixon was the first one to try that… As I recall that was part of what cost him the Presidency.

Isolation of certain members of the press for asking the wrong questions… Then subsequent investigation of those poor dumbasses by both the IRS and NSA. 

Now he’s talking about a flood of immigrants. Sure he’s going to say it’s just the folks who are already here.

But we all know that the flood gates will open and everyone will scramble to cross the border.  There will no doubt be a period of 30 to 60 days before the executive order takes effect, which will result in 1000s more unskilled people crossing the border. I mean how many gardeners, waiters, or fast food workers do we actually need?

(As an aside, when I wrote the line above, I thought, “jeezus man that’s a racist thing to say.” But I suppose if The President can refer to latinos as maids and fruit pickers I guess I’m not as far off as I thought I was. The irony is that when I was very, very, young in the South, we had orange groves and pecan groves full of migrant workers who happened to be black.)  

Of course The Presidents comment underscores for me just how out of touch he is with the average American. Maid? Really? I and most of the middle class wouldn’t know what to do with a maid if our lives depended on it. Hell, I can see myself cleaning up the house before the maid came in just so I wouldn’t be completely mortified. 

Maid? Yeah, right! Even when I was employed I had other things to spend my hard earned money on. Most of the time I was spending money just to make ends meet. I do my own yard work, make my own bed, cook my own food, and clean my own damn house, Mr President. I don’t come from the elitist background you apparently do.

Further, as I’ve asked before, what about the American kids of all stripes looking for that first job? Oh yeah, they don’t matter.

This seems to be all about reducing America to it’s knees, or creating a huge permanent Democratic voting block, or creating such racial polarization that the country tears itself apart. 

Does nationwide martial law suspend presidential elections?

Maybe this is just another stepping stone in Obama’s path to become a de-facto king.

Just one of those dark thoughts that flits through my mind sometimes.
