Random Thoughts: Family Ties

Posted by on

I got a $10 healthcare refund thanks to Obamacare. Yay. I’ll send it on to Romney/Ryan.

Actually, it was $10.61, but, you know, taxes.

Colorado won’t honor my Florida CCW because I don’t live in Florida? What’s the logic in that? Requirements the same for out-of-stater.

I’ve carried plenty, but so far I’ve never had to actually show my permit to anyone. Probably because people don’t know I have a gun. Since it’s concealed.

My favorite backhanded compliment for someone’s coding is “clever.”

A nasty hack is “clever.” What MacGyver did was “clever.” Production code other people will need to maintain should not be clever.

I like it when software Terms & Conditions makes me scroll to the bottom before I can hit “Accept” because that totally proves I read it.

Not that long ago wife and I watched Twin Peaks on Netflix. First season was awesome, then it got so dumb we didn’t finish it. So mystery solved of how a show goes from number one in first season to being canceled in second.

Been watch Family Ties on Netflix as it’s something we can have on when Buttercup is in the room. It’s like watching a time capsule.

I almost feel bad for the liberal writers of the show knowing in advance what happens with the Mondale candidacy.

We settled on Family Ties, BTW, because the Cosby Show is no longer available on Netflix streaming.

I would return our currency to the “fist standard”. If we can beat up other countries, then they have to accept our money as valuable.

The way Diablo III sporadically locks you out from playing it makes it all the more special when you are allowed to play it.

If only literate people decided the election…

You seen the Amazon Election Heat Map?

Now, that link is to a live heat map, so it could change. But, here’s what it looks like as of this writing:

Landslide

What people that can read are reading

Tip: Moonbattery via Paul Mitchell.

This really shouldn’t be surprising. People that buy books are generally people that can read. Since they’re buying books, they have money which means they hold a job.

People who can’t read wind up on welfare or knocking over liquor stores and gas stations.

Which group is gonna vote for Obama?

If the election was only decided by literate people, it would be a landslide.

I can see November from my house.

Not all women are women

Ed Schultz. Remember him? He’s still around, apparently.

He’s got a problem with women. Well, maybe not all women. But women with brains.

He’s all ticked off over Augusta National admitting women to their club. At least, the women they invited. He says they should have admitted Hillary Clinton or Michelle Obama. (Tip: Newsbusters)


[Direct link]

One of his “concerns” was that Augusta National admitted two rich women. Of course, everybody in Schultzland knows that Michelle Obama and Hillary Clinton, his picks, are dirt poor. Plus, neither of them had the advantage of growing up black near Birmingham, Alabama like Condoleezza Rice did.

Ignore the fact that it’s a private club. Oh, wait. Don’t. It is a private club. And they invite who they want. And, they wanted those two women. But, for Schultz and the left, that just won’t do.

See, in Schultzland, women don’t count unless they are liberal women. Right-wing women? Sluts.

If Ed Schultz wants to talk about stuff going on in Augusta, I have a couple of stories he could spend time on. There’s the Wal-mart toe-sucker. And, there’s the monkey party guy.

Those stories would be great for him. Tell the truth, now. Would you be shocked if, when his gig on TV finally, mercifully ends, Schultz winds up drunk with his pants down in a room full of monkeys, planning a night out sucking toes at Wal-mart? I didn’t think so.
