Random Thoughts

Looking at the left’s reaction to Lieberman, you’d think it was Emmanuel Goldstein who was retiring.

Are there really people who watch Hardball because of how bright and astute they think Chris Matthews is?

So repeal of Obamacare already more bipartisan than passage?

Johnathan Coulton’s “You Ruined Everything” is a great song describing the transition to parenthood. Your old self gets smashed apart pretty quickly when you get kids, though I feel I still have a bit to go. Only way to get stronger.

  1. Are there really people who watch Hardball because of how bright and astute they think Chris Matthews is?

    Yes, but they are old, old women from Wilhelmshaven. They do not speak English. “Er erinnert mich an meine Enkel! Ja! Die verrückten Enkel!”

    So repeal of Obamacare already more bipartisan than passage?

    To answer that question, I ask you a question: Have you ever tried to make a decision while Pelosi screams at you and waves a gun in front of your face?

  2. “Are there really people who watch Hardball because of how bright and astute they think Chris Matthews is?”

    I watched Hardball once. I was flipping through the channels one Sunday morning on my way to ESPN so I could watch “Countown To Kickoff.”

    Speaking of kickoff, do you realize we’re down to just two NFL Sundays, the Conference championship games and the Superbowl? I’m trying not to think about football being almost over.

  3. They only allow retards and super retards to watch the Chris Matthews show so I don’t worry too much about it. I’ve tried to tune in but my TV has blocked it and I get a message that says “You aren’t retarded enough to watch this program, please select another channel thank you”. So I just move on…

  4. I heard that Jonathan Coulton song right after I found out I was having a daughter, it still makes me a little teary (in an extremely manly way mind you, the kind of way that Fred Thomson would get teary about things, that is I assume that it would be — no one can know for sure because anything that make Fred cry would kill normal mortals). I second your statement about it. Great song, I can’t understand why Couton isn’t more famous.

  5. @PI: I’m trying not to think about football being almost over.

    Yay! Football is almost over, that means it is less than 30 days before real sports begins and pitchers report to SPRING TRAINING!!

    Hissy fit matthews died a few years ago, the only one who noticed was Kermit the Frog, who is now controlling his body through wires.

  6. plentyofbailouts,

    I’m a big baseball fan too, it’s the only thing that gets me through the football offseason. Looks like 2011 is going to be a good one. A lot of teams have gotten better which should make it very competitive.

  7. “Whatever doesn’t kill you makes you stronger”. It’s occurred to me lately, that parenting and getting old are not for sissies. Seriously this stuff is not for the faint at heart. I thought when my kids were young and I was getting four hours of sleep a night and had teenagers, tweens, pre teens, pre schoolers and a baby that, that was as hard as it was going to get.

    I was so wrong.

  8. Yeah, a lot of parents hit 50+ and wonder why it isn’t getting any easier, seanamahair (btw, have you explained the additional “a”?).

    Here are your options:

    a) The brain is fine, the body is shot.
    b) The brain is gone, the body’s fine.
    c) The brain and body are both shot.

    Of course, I’ve left-off the obvious “the brain and body are fine” because those people make me sick. I don’t like being sick.

    For me, it’s my dying teeth. I once asked my endodontist (root canal dentist for you clueless youngsters) to cut into the corner of my jaw and just cut the big nerve bundle. Just stick your biggest novocaine syringe in there, anesthetize that puppy, get out the scalpel and scissors and snip that baby. Afterward, please install a little dip switch package tied to all the nerves for testing purposes only. He laughed and said “We would never do that.”

    Human teeth: badly engineered, by God.
