Gone Fishin

Not really....just spending most of my time and writing at my other blog. It's hard enough to keep up with two of them, so I kind of consolidated over here................

One Way or Another...Fitness after Fifty

Stop by and say "hi"

no politics..which should be a relief to some readers

History

Well...Looks like Obama won.

I'm appreciative of the history that I was able to witness. It's no small thing that a half-black man can appear out of nowhere and be given the highest office in the land. Hopefully this will end, finally, the excuses that many use that America is a racist society. There is indeed a lot of prejudice but skin color is not a barrier.

Gender still seems to be, though.

We have witnessed another aspect of history. The mostly unchallenged assumption that women are not serious players. They are objects to be ridiculed, humiliated, abused, and derided...because they are women, or rather, ho's and cunts. In that spirit, I'd like to offer this poster for all the women out there who went along and kept your mouths shut when speaking out would have made a difference.



Welcome to your new world.


I give the nod to all who supported Obama. My sincere hope is that he will be the great leader you believe he will be rather than the disaster for the world he appears to me. I have no desire to see our country slide further down the terrible path that Bush has led while in office. Perhaps, now that he has safely won the election, Obama will clue us all in on how he is going to fix many of the problems that he will face as President. I have sat through two elections wondering how Americans could be so stupid as to elect somebody so incompetent to the Presidency. I hope I haven't sat through a third wondering the same thing.

History is a funny thing...it's always being written

Please Vote So You Can Share in the Blame

Tomorrow it will be over. Well....one phase of the whole mess will be anyway. The polls say that Obama is slightly ahead among the 20% of the people that didn't hang up on the pollsters. I'm not quite as convinced of Obama's chances seeing how he is running in a year that a Democrat should win by a slam dunk. Two wars. Imploding economy. Worse President in history. Plus Obama has spent more money than God trying to woo over the country. Tomorrow morning I will do something that I've never done before, something that I never would have believed I would ever do...vote for a Republican presidential candidate. It's not that I'm enthralled by McCain (only idiots worship politicians and celebrities), it's just that McCain looks magnificent against what Obama has to offer...or rather...what he hasn't got to offer. That plus there is just no way I can go with a candidate that is so misogynistic, homophobic, racist, and is arrogantly dismissive of just about everybody in the country.

But I can go either way.

I don't really think that there will be riots in the streets if McCain wins. First of all, those left in the Democratic party are a bunch of pussies. Bush stole the election....no protest. Invaded a country...no protest. Democrats gains control of Congress and continue to rubber stamp Bush...not a peep. Obama reverses on his liberal promises....nothing but crickets. The Democrats aren't going to do a thing. Certainly the majority of the Obama supporters, who think that civil action is wearing a t-shirt or putting a bumper sticker on their car, are not going to break out of their self-absorbed lives to do anything. Hell...I doubt most of them will bother to vote. McCain will be president and the Democratic Party will undergo a major overhaul, purging itself of the corrupt leaders that led this mess.

If Obama does win, that would be kind of nice in a weird sort of way. The reason would be that it would give the opportunity to spend the next couple of years sitting pretty in the "I told you so" seat. All this hopey dopey talk is great for speeches, but when the rubber hits the road is when reality set in....and it will be a shock for a lot of people. I lost a lot of friends because of this campaign. I've been called every name in the book. I've been banned from blogs I visited for years. I've even had death threats. I want to see these people eat crow when they find out what kind of snake they've forsaken all else to worship.

Either way...I'm cool. I've spent way too much time on politics which, I have concluded, is like banging my head against the ground. I'll post one more, very short, post when we have a new President. Then I will transform this blog to reflect other projects going on with myself.

My hope is that when all the smoke clears, we can all get back to being normal.

whatever that is
