Read one of my posts and you know my opinion of Obama. He is incompetent to the point of making Carter look good. That takes some doing. Never mind that he has violated our laws in every conceivable way. From appointments without senate approval to forcing his yeti wife's mandates onto our school lunches, there is a good chance if Obama is for it, then it isn't good for the United States of America.
Now we have Ebola swarming into the United States and has he stopped flights into and out of infected countries? Oh, you foolish thing! If he did that, he might miss a tee time or a fundraiser. I imagine if he were sending the family on another 100 million dollar vacation, he would have concern, but heck-he can always just send a crap ton of secret service with them, like he did when his daughter went Mexico for Spring Break on our dime.
But back to this Ebola-we're told repeatedly that it isn't airborne. Then why are people being quarantined that have only been in the same room with the infected person? Why are nurses and other health care providers contracting the disease when they are in full bio gear? What else aren't they telling us?
The CDC is now backtracking on if the virus is airborne. Apparently it can be transmitted in droplets through the air. Scary, isn't it? But it must not be that serious, right? I have to believe that if we were in danger, the fundraiser in chief would post pone at least a couple of 35k per plate dinners, wouldn't he? Wouldn't Gwenyth Paltrow have the good taste to gush less if lives were at stake? Yeah, right.
How about this little gem?

The problem with a virus is that it's sole purpose is to mutate and survive. The problem with the current administration is the same. B.O. is so busy saying whatever he has to say to raise money to try and keep the senate that he doesn't give a rip about doing his job.
Depending on who you ask- the odds of dying from ebola are 25 to 90%. Those aren't good odds, and the best way to avoid it is to keep it out of the United States of America. But that doesn't seem to be his first priority. What do you think? Mull it over, you'll thank me later.

Eating Their Own
All of the real polls show that this will not be a good year for anyone who has serviced Obama in the last six years. At the beginning of the year, Nancy Pelosi was measuring the windows in the Speakers' Office. Now, she makes delusional ramblings about gaining seats and whittling the Republican majority. M'kay.
There are several races that are too tight to call, but when huffpo is getting their panties in the proverbial knot, you know it isn't good. I read an argument that one of their "writers" submitted blaming all of their current woes on lack of unity. It spoke of Daschle blaming Reid blaming others. I don't care who does it, but I will rent the tv if it means that I will be able to see Harry's antique fist hand over the gavel. He is to politics as fecal matter is to new carpet. He's a dog turd that serves no purpose. He has cowardly refused to bring up any matter that will make it harder for his fellow progressives to go home and tell the idiots that voted for them why they did the things that they did.
If we had a working media, instead of the compliant followers of "the one" then maybe you would be getting real news, not propaganda.
Don't believe the crap that they are telling you. Anyone who thinks that unemployment is really under 6 % is terminally stupid.
from http://www.shadowstats.com/alternate_data/unemployment-charts
Again, unless you are terminally stupid or an Obama operative, (same difference, I know) you know a lot of people who are out of work. It isn't pretty.
But we can start the path to fixing this. Vote in November. Remove the obstacles that keep Obama from being held in check. I am not afraid to use the I word. If he were busy trying to keep his bony butt in the oval office, maybe he would be less able to do damage to the Republic.
In this day of Fox News and the internet, the msm would not have the strangle hold that it did when slick willie was impeached. That is to say, the truth will out.
Are you better off than you were before B.O. took over? Are you paying more for food, gasoline, heck-everything? Vote in November. Remove him now. It can be done with a change in management in the Senate. Think about it, you'll thank me later.

Why is Yahoo Screwing with my Email Because I use Google?
Two weeks ago I had to fix my laptop. I managed to do it by myself (cue the Hallelujah Chorus) and ever since then, I cannot use Google Chrome to open my email in the preferred format. Instead, I am forced to use that hokey, crappy circa 1995 email. If I use Firefox, then I can open it. What is going on?
I don't mind Firefox it is light years ahead of explorer- but it is light years slower than Google Chrome. Grrr.
I have posted questions to yahoo and have yet to receive an answer. Maybe they are too busy streaming every drop of drivel that is posted by Huffpo. I know my yahoo experience is chock full of their blather. Maybe they are so busy trying to find that successful obamacare signee that is actually paying for their own insurance that they can't be bothered with answering me. Who knows? I just wish that when something was working very well, yahoo wouldn't mess with it.
My ex used to say that the internet has made everyone much more impatient. He was right, and I attribute that to even a broken clock being right twice a day. Slow down people, what's the hurry? If me- the poster child for wanting it when I ask for it can say that-trust me, you need to slow down.
I don't have a problem with Mozilla FireFox. I have watched their documentary on youtube and I appreciate how much work went into creating their product. I liked it fine until I gave Chrome a test drive. It is much faster, simple as that.
So now, I am forced to juggle between the two and it's a giant pain in the butt. Not a tragedy, but still a pain, you know?
As far as tragedy go- here is one:
Did you know that our Marine SGT. Tahmooressi is still in a Mexican crap hole jail? Do you know what B.O. has done about it? Zip. Zilch. Nada. He is still preoccupied with the tons of illegals who have flooded our border. They get his attention. Our Marine can go whistle. One of them was willing to die for us, the other? Not so much.
But time and again, B.O. has shown his utter contempt for Americans-in uniform and civilian. Remember the yeti's eye roll over the American Flag ceremony from September 11th? All this for a flag?
Or there was the latte salute. He was so concerned with his beverage that he couldn't even have one of his flunkies haul it out for him. Instead he just kept it in his hand while he disrespected the brave Marine who would take a bullet for him.
Well, enough of his deficiencies. November is right around the corner. Get out and vote! And if you have any pull with Yahoo-send me an email. I want my google chrome to work. I'd thank you later!

Sorry Papa John's. I Don't Tip When There is a Delivery Charge
It's fair week in my little corner of heaven. That means several things, not the least of which is very long days for me. I don't mind, the fair only comes once a year, and there is fried cheese!
Tonight, however, I'm not cooking. It would seem that the team of choice won,so my order is half off at Papa John's. I don't mind them, they have peppers in the box, and the drivers understand personal hygiene. It's a win win for me.
And then today, I ordered online for later tonight. Papa John's charges three dollars to bring my pizza half a mile. I don't have the option of getting the thing, I am pretty much tied to my store for the whole day. Here is the thing: when there is no delivery "fee" I tip about five bucks. I have worked in a pizza place, I know the drill. But when the fee is built in, there goes the tip. I'm not going to give them even more money when they just charged me for bringing it to me. Sorry about your luck.
Papa John's even has a little spot on their web site telling me that the drivers appreciate financial compensation for good service. I bet they do. But if they want even more compensation then the fee- they are barking up the wrong tree mister. You can't have it both ways. Charge me for delivery, and I have done enough for you. I don't know how much of that filters down to the driver, but they were better off with free delivery.
Recently, the subject of tip shaming came up when a restaurant posted the tip (30 whole cents) on a large order from a NFL player. He was a tight wad. Shame on him. When you are in the restaurant, you have to tip-those people depend on tips to supplement their below minimum wage pay. But if you are driving the pizza to me, and I am already paying for that- you better hope that Papa John's gives you a cut of their "delivery fee" because that's it for me.
Just so you know, I'm not tipping you for pouring the coffee into a cup and handing it to me, either. If I was asking you to whip up some elk cream, add cinnamon and pour it twice that would be one thing. But if the sum total of our transaction is that you pour my coffee into a cup and then pour milk into it- there is no tip involved.
I wait on people all day in my store. I have explained long, detailed instructions to someone who needed the information. I don't have a tip jar there for that. It's my job. I knew that going in. If I wanted to work somewhere where I would be tipped- I would go back to work in a restaurant. See how that works?
