Still in the black and this is what happens, win lots and lots of small games but when I lose POW!!
-------------------------------
Packers - Well the injuries are finally starting to add up. At least The Bears had injuries (5 actually) in their last game.

For anyone that watches The Amazing Race they understand a little more about Bangladesh. What a horrid country. Dirty, and crowded. The fire that killed 100+ reminds me of the fire that happened in New York back in the early 1900's and why Unions are NOT a bad thing. When the fire in the factory started the managers told workers not to worry. Exit doors were locked and fire extinguishers were not even working.
The factory made T-shirts and polo shirts for Walmart so Americans could get cheap clothes.
When the fire alarms went off workers tried to exit the building but their managers blocked the exit and told them to go back to work. When there were flames they all ran to the one emergency exit and found it locked from the outside.
OH - the building were inspected and classified as dangerous but the government did not want to get involved (smaller government and all that).

Great news for anti-Walker people. It seems that either Walker is a criminal (which he is) OR, just a very very bad manager. Everybody below him is being carted off to jail and saying he knew they were breaking the law. So if the head of organized crime only tells people to break the law, does that not make him a criminal also? Not according to him.
Seems to me that even if we see Walker being led away in handcuffs the tea party zealots will all blame the liberal media and scream it's not fare.
BTW - seems the right is looking into toll roads in Wisconsin. But they won't raise taxes. But they WILL raise fees! Not the same thing I guess! LOL

Yet another reason to never drink soft drinks. A latest study links soft drinks to knee arthritis. For some reason soft drink sugar effects the cartilage in peoples knees!

This is so so true and so so funny

Watched the movie Lincoln Saturday - WOW - what a fantastic movie. It was odd seeing Lincoln smile, I thought I was the only guy who had see that grin. But seriously - a very very good movie and David Spader was a hoot!!
It's a movie with mostly dialog but fascinating. Applause at the end and many people were commenting that it did not feel like a 2.5 hour movie and it didn't. Speaking of corrupt. Yea he was but . . . . it's what Republicans do I guess!! LOL At least he was corrupt for the good of the country and not for himself (unlike a certain Governor) .
Of course I mentioned OSCAR on Facebook and Jenny said Les Misérables was going to win the OSCAR. So as I was surfing the web I found this amazing portrait that became a poster.
OMG - this image is so so amazing. HDR photography at it's best!
If I could have one photo in my life like these I would be a happy man.
----------------------------------
OH - and my rant on Walker and Health Care. Nevermind - what he is actually doing is bringing the US closer to a one payer system which is what the left wants. You see by having the Fed find insurance for Wisconsin residents we will actually have cheaper insurance. The reason is that going national you will have a bigger group to choose from. Wisconsin Insurance companies HATE it that Walker has screwed them and say if we go national they will lose customers and go out of business.
This is a good thing. With less insurance companies the big ones will get bigger. Sooner or later we will have ONE insurance company. Thank You Walker for moving us towards a one payer system. Walker - not the brightest bulb in the pack. BUT - Wisconsin likes dumb people in charge.

My West Coast Blaster is awesome!!! I had two bottles this weekend and I impressed myself. Gotta give Brian my neighbor a few bottles as it was his hops!!

Saw "Lincoln" yesterday. After much thought-- one of the best movies I've ever seen. Making historic scenes feel so real that seems as if the mote of dust floating in the air onscreen would be waved away if I moved my hand... that is amazingly difficult to pull off. But every moment of this film was that transporting.
ReplyDeleteReading some reviews beforehand, I knew to expect that the film would be heavily "about politics"... but even I didn't expect it to be so much so. I mean... *I* loved that, but it was really heartening to see a fairly packed theater on a Sunday afternoon, its third weekend of release, enjoying it too.
I appreciate that Day-Lewis is a great actor, but on some level he's always left me a little cold. Not this time. Absolutely amazing performance-- as somebody else said, Lincoln was re-animated.
It's a rare movie that, upon leaving the theater, I cannot wait to see again.
Yea - it was packed at 2:30 on a Saturday - DJ and I are still talking about it!
ReplyDeleteit was a WOW. I actually had tears when the bells started to toll when the vote passed (oops - gave it away).
"I appreciate that Day-Lewis is a great actor, but on some level he's always left me a little cold"
ReplyDeleteYEA - ME TOO - I never really appreciated him that much. Yea - GREAT actor but as you say - he always left me cold. Here - He actually WAS Lincoln.
I think you're confusing James Spader with David Spade...
