Bluntness

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

Those Little Blessings

So, tell me, don't you think the week is simply zoomin' past?  I find it difficult to believe that's Thursday already.  As you get older, time passes faster than you'd like, especially if you're busy.  Then it's gone before you even know it.

My application to sign up for mail-in voting arrived yesterday.  I will go online and take care of it later this morning.  

I get to work this afternoon.  Only for 6 hours.  I like short shifts, especially when they start later in the day.  Morning means getting chores done at home.  Nothing really gets done if I get home from work after 7 PM.  If the dishes weren't put into the dishwasher earlier, that might happen.

The last few evenings I've been re-playing Fallout 4 on the PC.  This is my 3rd play through.  Part my decision to play this game again is that it's a great RPG, but another part is the series which is (as of right now) to premier on Amazon Prime later this year.  For years producers thought films were the only way to bring a game to the big screen, especially since we all have big screens in our homes now.  And the The Witcher happened, a very popular video game series premiered on Netflix.  Recently, The Last of Us premiered on HBOMax, and from what I've seen is also very popular.  This gives me hope for the Fallout series.  Next on my gaming list, after Fallout, is Atomic Heart.  This looks very interesting and arrives in3 weeks.


So, Kev McCarthy had a sit down with Biden yesterday about the debt ceiling.  He has been asked many times what the Republican plan is, especially since their tax break for the rich put the debt ceiling through the roof.  He always mumbles out some word salad that includes a number of adverbs, but no verbs, and adjectives that only modify the fact that he doesn't have a true subject.  For him, it's the process that's important.  He's hoping the end result of this process makes the administration look bad.  In a nutshell, that's what he wants, nothing else.

And now a bit about babies because it's important.  I suspect that one of the real reasons social conservatives are so anti-abortion is that they desperately want women to have babies, lots of babies.  They tell you babies are a blessing from God.  If that's true, they might want to ask themselves why both Hindus and Moslems are popping out babies like it's going out of style, while that isn't the case for Christians, especially American Christians.  Are Hindus more blessed than Evangelicals?  And you'll notice that I didn't even touch upon the subject that most of those babies aren't white.

  1. The GOP votes to raise the debt celling every time a Republican requests it and then threatens to shut down the government when the Dems do it.
    Blatant hypocrisy.

  2. The repugs want to make Uncle Joe look bad and they'll keep trying. Can you imagine what the country could achieve if they were not egregious cunts?
    And I watched The Witcher (and I'm watching the spin-off) and I'm watching The Last of Us. Love them both. I can't play video games, though. They make me nauseous. Ans in physically nauseous. It may be my vision.
    Forced birth? Yep, that the GOP plan.

    XOXO

    1. I have no problem with games. The only way the GOP will learn will be if they get beaten badly with a stick, and then get beaten some more.

  4. Talk about time flying, heck I can't believe January has already come and gone. Still, that makes us that bit closer to spring and that's my favourite season, so I'm good with that!

    1. Spring is nice. I do like it when my winters have a touch of snow.

  5. Time is definitely flying, Dave R. Especially as both of my kiddos are almost teenagers. Enjoy the game and I definitely recommend the The Last of Us TV show.

    1. I've heard the show is very good. Just wait until tomorrow, you'll be a grandpa, at least that's how fast time seems to fly.
