I See Crazy People

I like to read. I will read anything in front of me at almost any time. I would rather have a great book than a stupid conversation, that's just how I am. I got my love of reading from my Mother.  It's hard not to think of her without picturing a book in her hand.  It's because of my love of reading that I try to find as many different opinions as possible. The last thing I want to emulate are the liberal folks who are astounded by an election because no one they know voted that way.
With that in mind, I read over the Huffington Post.  I usually have to steel my nerve for the trip, I know I am going to read something maddeningly stupid, I just hope it's only one or two.  No luck today.  I believe that the majority of liberals and progressives have retired to their sulking chair and are trying to piece together some sort of cohesive response besides, "Oh Yeah?.... Well, you'll see!"
More and more of the are showing all the signs of Palin Derangement Syndrome and other mental disorders.  I cannot stomach The View. I've tried three times now, and life is too short.  I cannot stand to listen to three women and Whoopie Goldberg arguing over each other, slinging mud and trying to be clever.  I cannot imagine what twisted world Joy Behar is considered an authority on anything.
I must confess, however, that I love to see her over sized mouth when it turns down in irritation. Bill O'Reilly  may be a blow hard at times, but in the spirit of the enemy of my enemy is my friend- I loved watching him on The View. Those two throwing a hissy fit and stomping off the set was priceless. Just priceless.  But back to that Huffington Crap.
Isn't there room for civil debate and polite disagreement anymore?  One thing my Dad and I could always do was keep a civil tongue in our heads when we were arguing politics.  Either those losers are paid to post what ever nonsensical thought pops into their heads or they are stupid crazy. Brace yourself, read some of it and decide for yourself. You'll thank me later.

Common Sense Prevailed

I am so excited for the future.  It would seem that the American people have chosen against socialism and a nanny government  and the votes on Tuesday night reflect that.  As I was waiting to vote, one of the poll workers was talking about what a great turnout there was.
"This is much better than the presidential election, even." He told us.  I was concerned by the giant posters telling me not to use my cell phone and that no pictures were allowed. Ok. Thank goodness I have a phone without the bells and whistles, but if an emergency had popped up, I probably would have taken the call.
I am glad that Nancy Pelosi has to figure out what she is going to do next.  I think some botox to tighten it up for her would be a good idea. I am curious to see if she can actually break glass with those cheeks, but maybe that is just me.  I am very disappointed that Reid and Boxer were reelected.  One of the creators of  The Naked Gun Movies made a very funny spoof of her supercilious demand to be called "Senator." Google it, you won't be disappointed.  Lastly, since Nevada and California seem to bent on continuing their path that every one knows will not work, can we no longer help them when they go broke?  One of the reasons that California is so destitute, other than the life choking epa regulations, the sanctuary cities, and the repudiation of all things normal is the ridiculously sweet retirement benefits that Jerry Brown granted the government workers years ago.
It seems to me that if GM has to let go of their golden parachutes when we bailed them out, shouldn't California have to do the same?  Think about it, you'll thank me later.
