Bluntness

I've also been told I have little tact, so if this offends you simply ride on.

When the Iron is Hot

 It's Tuesday morning and I have stacks of laundry waiting to go.  It's a Tuesday thing, and sometimes a Wednesday thing as well.  It's all about routines and regularity.  This does not mean there is a time and place for everything; spontaneity is nice.  I just don't live on the spur of the moment.

Yesterday the temps got up to 53 (F).  That's warm for January.  The forecast is for things to cool off, drop to more what are considered normal temps for this time of year.  There is frigid shit out there, but it seems to be always to the east or to the west of us.  

I received an invite back to Sirius XM.  The offer is $6 a month for a year before the cost goes back to the normal $22 a month.  Sorry.  I only listen to the radio when I'm in my car.  At home, if I'm listening to music, it's on Amazon.  And my tastes tend to be rather impromptu.  For example, there are times when I want to listen to German Folk Music and at other times the score from Fallout 4.  And I don't need to listen to some DJ trying to be relevant to all ages of listeners.

My income tax refund hit my bank account this morning.  That was a nice surprise.  I file early.  I file electronically.  And, except for that year when I hit 65 and Social Security sent those 3 big checks, I always get a nice refund.  

Kev McCarthy was on CBS and got drilled by the correspondent.  That seems to be happening more and more, doesn't it.  His little forays into Sunday morning television are intended to fluff his ego and demonstrate his power... and they always seem to fail.  He's one of those morons who never realized that respect is earned.  Giving into the the far right, making concessions, and signing secret rules and regulations earns you nothing.  Someone should tell that buffoon he wields zero power, not that he'd listen.  Honestly, I don't even think he understands how weak he truly is.

Trump's payment of hush money to Stormy Daniels is again back in the headlines.  (yawn)

People are beginning to wonder how imminent the impending indictments of Orange Anus truly are.  For many of us, imminent is in a few hours, possibly tomorrow... maybe.  Yet since Fanni dropped that word all we've heard is silence. People are getting edgy.  We've all been waiting a very long time.  I'd always heard it was best to strike when the iron was hot.

  1. Heh. It's three degrees here. And it's going to go down to zero. Chilly.
    And I am amazed at how much Kevin lies to himself. He goes on TV and as a consolation prize to himself and still fails. Such a sorry excuse for a politician.
    As for Mango Mussolini, I sometimes wonder why the hell it's taking so long, but I understand it's not really cut and paste with him. The crimes are multiple and all entangled and involving multiple people and governments (the Russkis, the Saudis) and multiple levels of treason.
    But they need to hurry the hell up.

    XOXO

    1. This weekend, our predicted low is going to be 9 (F). The indictments will be... entertaining, now that the rivalry between the Orange Anus and DeSantis is finally beginning to take off.

  2. I'm not a particularly spontaneous person either (except for when I handed my notice in I guess), and a routine was always necessary when I was working. Now, not so much. I kinda wished I could have been more spontaneous - just like a colleague who used to go to a travel agent and then fly out the next day to wherever they had a good offer. But then again, he never married or had kids!

    1. I'm actually fairly regulated. This works better for me if I have specific times and dates.

  3. I still don't think anything's going to happen or he'll be indicted, and if he does for sure run for the next election I bet nothing happens until after that at least, if ever. And if for some odd Twilight Zone reason he would win, we are going to be fucked again all because of everyone dragging their feet when he was out of office. Although I must admit it from the candidates I hear possibly going to run, that is going to be one lethal, bloody, nasty fight. Which to me will be highly entertaining.

    1. Both he and DeSantis are going to be going straight for the throat. And you're right, it should be very entertaining.

  4. Lots of things happening on the Thing 45 front; I know it's not as fast as we'd like, but things are moving.
    History will not be at all kind to KKKevin; he pandering, his lying, his hypocrisy. I'm here for that.

    1. I'm in total agreement. As for Kev? He just sees the position and will never understand that investigations are not accomplishments.

  5. We are not having those temperatures here. It has been in the teens.

    1. Temps are predicted to cool off for a day or two, but then they're predicted to climb into the 40's again.
