Some days you're the dog ...
... some days you're the hydrant.
Yesterday was a hydrant kind of day. Can I tell you how much I loathe office politics? I wasn't quite in the line of fire yesterday, but the lazy-ass bitch who alternately had people (who are my friends) enraged or in tears and I know I, too, am on her sh*tlist. This gal has had now three different positions in the office and she creates chaos wherever they place here (say "Hello" to a government employee covered by a union). That's how I ended up being moved first of January. She had so screwed up her last position that I was brought in clean up the mess and organize (can we say six banker boxes overflowing with police reports going back six or more months?). The agency liasons are so tickled with what I've done with the desk in the last seven weeks, they've taken me to lunch. In fact, one laison's sargent said he was footing the bill for lunch for us because he's so happy.
Bitch found out and was thoroughly pissed. She doesn't get it on why she was moved. Nothing is ever her fault. It's all a big conspiracy against her. Blah blah blah.
Needless to say, I lock my desk when I leave at night.
One very large bright spot last night was it was babysitting night! Sean and Nick are 29 mos old now and I just get such a kick out of having 'em part of the week.
Lots to blog about ... my list is growing! Here's some random thoughts
I want to return to the subject of education. Jeff Harrell has given me much to muse on in the last few days and I want to respond to what I think the ideal high school system should look like.
Kleagle Byrd flapped his gums again and while on the Senate floor compared Repubicans to Hitler. Let's add that audio clip to the "I hate evil Republicans" schtick from Dean. My my..."Party of Tolerance" is as funny as "Religion of Peace"
Reader Ethical Werewolf asks if we can call a person who blows up an abortion clinic a "Christian terrorist". Sure can. Does that make Christianity and Islamism equivalent? Unequivocally, no.
Back to Scream Dean again and his "litany of Democrat values." Notice how they revolve around economic policy rather than the tough questions about morality. Indeed, he got his [briefs, boxers] in a knot about a person of the cloth just might talk about shalls/shall nots to a woman! Wow, who would have thunk that!
Looks like the tipping point in the ME has been reached and the Left is adament about pissing on it.
More later.

You know Howard wears tighty whites, Dar. No man with sufficient breathing room around his dangly bits could have made that "Yeaaaargh!" noise.

Funny that you keep calling him Kleagle Byrd in reference to something that happend in his life decades ago as a young man, but when people were doing bring up things from Jeff Gannon's not so distant past you were beside yourself about how we were not allowing for change.

- No Mieke .... No its not funny actually....its yet another specious left wingnut analogy between a pair of things that have absolutely no equivalency whatsoever....Byrd actually made a spoken reference to the Republican Senators as emulating Hitler. Why....Because they had the temerity to say they weren't going to put up with any more philibustering BS from the "Party of Obstructionism". No one with a working brain cell at this point thinks its anything but just another attempt to stall so the GD liberal judges won't get their asses booted out and stop all the "legislating" from the bench.....thats it - pure and simple.....
So....Just what does the sex life of a rather unknown journalist have to do with that....or for that matter with the fact that Bobby was a KKK leader. Nada.....Zip....Zero.... But I don't blame you AssHats on the left for scrapping and scrapping and toturing logic in any way you can because right now you're all looking like just a bunch of brain dead, misguided, sore losers.....
...you prattled for years on and on about womens rights and tolorance and better rights for blacks and gay rights....and then what do you do....You out a man just to be mean spirited .... your lefty MSM cartoonists drawn the most varilent racist cartoons I think I've ever seen in 60 years just because the subject is a brilliant conservative lady who happens to be black.....
- You guys in a word are totally F'd Up and whacked out of your skulls.... the only thing remaining is for your party to be burried to save you further embarissment. and the Dean you rode in on.....
- and I didn't even begin to cover all your vitriolic screeds and hyphocritical ironies. Bush has lead by example and set all his detracters back on their asses with the success's in the Me and its not over yet. and what do you guys do..... Keep rooting for the damn enemy..... pretty soon you'll be just a sad memory in political History.....

Who ever you are Mr. BB Hunter, your name calling, gross generalizations, and shitty tone diminish your sad arguments.
Darleen and I may be polar opposites on the political spectrum, but for the most part we respect each other and speak to each other kindly and intelligently. We listen to each other and sometimes find that we agree on more than we disagree. So please don't talk to me that way, I am not used to, nor interested in discussions with people like you.
Also, you may want to use spell check from time to time.

- Mieke - I have no patience left whatsoever for the likes of you and your socialist credo's. You've spent whatever good faith respect expectations you ever had in intellectual exchange by the actions of you and your ilk with your constant America/Bush bashing, so don't whine to Me about your pitiful need for "understanding". You've lost the right to that consideration as far as I'm concerned. You constantly attack and bad mouth something near and dear to Me and the majority of Americans, so if you find yourself an outcast you did it to yourself....Stop whining about it.....
Its so interesting that the murdering resident Senate drunk quietly pulled the rediculous "speech" he made, a few days before the Iraqi vote, from his web site. Apparently even he see's how backwards and out of step he and the party of the asses really are, how divorced from main stream America and reality......
- Oh and as far as spelling you might give serious thought to the idea that its the contents that really count.....The assinine, upside down logic spewing from the left can be spelled perfectly, but its still assinine....

- and Darleen....excuse me the venting but sometimes it just screams to be said.....

Mieke: Big Bang Hunter treated you with kid gloves. And while you thought it fit to criticize his "shitty tone" you have said nothing to refute anything he said.

That's because people like BB Hunter are not worth my time.

- No Mieke - Its because after all the name caling, and totured logic, and assbackwards changes in ideals, always changing and adjusted to fit whatever arguements you put forth for this hour, theres never any concrete idea's or proposals from the left. Just obstructionism and contraryness. Good old "I didn't think of it so it sucks" sour grapes. No message. Just bashing of Conservative programs. So of course the issues "are not worth your time". the "elite" have nothing concrete to say....
