I guess the downside to having a car that is not good in all weather, is that when the weather gets bad,  being out in it is NOT FUN :(....   My tires have an NA rating for snow and ice :)...  Which is kinda funny, given that I live in Missouri.  But it normally only snows once or twice a year, I figured that I would make do :).

I was actually going to go to the boat tonight for some much deserved night out with some buds.   But when I walked out on my drive I fell flat on my ass.  One of those that hurts like a mother,,, but the first thing you do is try and get up and play it off..  Then look to see if anyone actually saw it :)…  Thankfully nobody had, so I got up, and walked back inside and figured there was NO WAY I am going out in this crap :).  Now my butt just hurts LOL..

Idle Ramblings,,,,,

I was reading an article yesterday, and the author was theorizing that the heads of the Republican Party are going to try and force Bush to begin drawing the Iraq war down by the 08 election.  The idea is that if not the R’ will take another pounding in 08 due to policy association.   I find it curious that nobody seems to ever question why we went in at all?  I mean the bait-n-switch tactic that GWB gave use.  Of WMD, then OH,,, NO,, No,,,  Saddam was a bad man,,, everyone is glad he is gone…  Okie-Dokie then,,  I have always really believed that deep down in secret meetings Bush, Scowcroft, Rumsfeld, and Cheney all thought it would be easy to deliver democracy to the Iraqi’s and in the bigger picture a serious push could be made in the Mid-East peace policy having removed one of the legs of the Hamas triumvirate.  But since nobody bothers to question this, Sadly I guess we will never know????

Speaking of Bush,,, something that has always puzzled me.  I often wonder if he sits up at night in his bed, and

A:  Sits with his head in his hands and wonders aloud, “I cant believe I goofed that statement up like that”  or “I cant believe I said that”

Or

B:  Sits looking admiringly at the TV and thinks aloud,,,  “Oooh,, I look good in that tie”

Hmmmm which one :)…….

Well a joke is always good to end on, so here is one (Its about a C rating :0)

A man went over to his girl's place for a little bit of nookie between the sheets. He presented her with three choices of condom -- gold, silver, or bronze.

"Silver," she said.

"Why not gold?"

"Because I want you to come second for once!"

"But we're not a real bank," she replies, "we don't have any money, this is a sperm bank."

"Don't fucking argue, open the fucking safe or I'll blow your head off!" says the guy with the gun. She obliges and once she's opened the safe door the guy says, "Take out one of the bottles and drink it."

"But it's full of sperm!' she replies nervously.

"Don't argue, just drink it' he says. She pries the cap off and gulps it down."

"Take out another one and drink it, too!" he demands. She takes out another and drinks it as well. Suddenly the guy pulls off the mask and to the woman's amazement it's her husband!

"There!" he says, "it's not that fucking difficult is it?!"

Thought filling this out might be kinda fun.  Not totally sure what is good to put in here?  Though admittedly I do not think many people actually read these things, so I dont think it matters.  

Well alas, election season is upon us once again.  Time for each politician to strut their "can-do, leader" stuff.  Each subtly implying the other unqualified and unfit for the job.  I like to measure the tone and message-within-the-message.  I see it as a reverse reflection of how the politicians see us (the voters).  Its also a good litmus on what most Americans see as the most important issues of the day.  So far mostly drab same-ole.  It is interesting that one of the heavier messages is on integrity and honesty (well not totally surprising)!  Neither party seems quite know how to campaign on Iraq, or Oil, or even Terrorism.  Interesting that events of the day arent hardly whimpered in stump-ads.


Not to Tarry on too long about just babble, A Joke of the day seems appropriate so.  HERE IS ONE (ITS NOT ME!!!)





I recently picked a new primary care physician. After two visits and
exhaustive lab tests, he said I was doing "fairly well" for my age. A
little concerned about that comment, I couldn't resist asking him, "Do
you think I'll live to be 80?"

He asked, "Well, do you smoke tobacco or drink beer/wine?"

"Oh no," I replied. "I've never done either."

Then he asked, "Do you eat rib-eye steaks and barbecued ribs?"

I said "No, I've heard that all red meat is very unhealthy!"

"Do you spend a lot of time in the sun, like playing golf, sailing,
ballooning, or rock climbing ?"

"No, I don't," I said.

He said, "Do you gamble, drive fast cars, or sexually fool around?"

"No," I said. "I've never done any of those things."

He looked at me and said, "Then why do you give a shit if you live to be
80?"
