Private-sector job creation deteriorating, too
Political Animal - Private-sector job creation deteriorating, too
I would like to see where the "Stimulus" fits on this timeline, as well as the extension of the Bush tax cuts. The GOP mantra seems to be that "tax cuts" spur job growth. Well, I suspect the stimulus will plot about where the red to blue transition occurs (which makes sense) and will be followed by a distinct uptick in jobs. Where as, the bush tax cut extension will plot somewhere near the tallest blue line (about sixth from the left) and will be followed by a moderate decline in jobs. Until the GOP can provide compelling evidence illustrating their position, I'll B.S. on their statements. Increased corporate incomes goes to (primarily) to the top of that food-chain - not to the middle class.

Douche....
The GOP (esp. this guy) is so stupid. Don't they know they're pissing people off? I'm making the early call, the tables will turn in the next election, GOP out/DEMS in.

Debt Ceiling Debate
This is literally making me crazy now-a-days. I find it hard to believe the GOP are willing to stand behind this nonsense. If polled, I bet more Americans would be willing to tax the rich rather than face a double-dip recession (as would likely happen without a resolution by Aug. 2). Frustrating beyond belief....

GOP Jokers
During Bush Presidency, Current GOP Leaders Voted 19 Times To Increase Debt Limit By $4 Trillion: "After pushing the government to brink of shutdown last week, Republican Congressional leaders are now preparing to push America to the edge of default by refusing to increase the nation’s debt limit without first getting Democrats to concede to large spending cuts. But while the four Republicans in Congressional leadership positions are attempting to hold [...]"
Of course... These guys (as with many modern-day politicians) make me sick. Funny how they're all fine to extend the debt limit under Bush but not under Obama. Classic. If more people were paying attention, perhaps we would be in this mess.

Foods Keeping You From Weight Loss
Study: The Foods Keeping You From Weight Loss
I've adopted the corrective eating practices explained in this article of the last couple of years and I have to say, it totally works. Reducing intake of starches, sugary sweets and meats and supplementing with veggies (mainly salads) and nuts have had a huge impact on my health.

BBC News - World's oceans in 'shocking' decline
Just had a discussion with a friend re: GW. I told him, "This country (and administration) seems to be rather oblivious to global warming. Frankly, I think the administration has been convinced by big oil to tone down the rhetoric. A failure in my eyes. But, like a said a year or two ago. I have absolutely zero hope that our country (and maybe even our world civilization) will do much of anything to curb CO2 emissions. Instead, we'll "deal with" the results of global warming and look back retrospectively and say, "...if only we had cared enough to do something about it then." The sad thing is that we'll have to watch so many people suffer unnecessary flooding, starvation, and economic stress, among other things along the way."

Oh no he di'n't....
I knew I didn't like this guy but, aside for the obvious reasons, I felt there must be something else, something deep down. Now, we see in the light of day what's truly wrong with this fella. I believe he's lost his mind.

Crazy Town
Right. So, I just mailed my registration for a trail run - my first 24-hour trail run (see link). It's entirely possible I'm going crazy in my older age but, I am excited about the run. I'll be sure to post pictures from the event for all of my fans.

Awesome hike!
Today, the family and I enjoyed the nice North Carolina heat during a "double summit" at Crowder's Mountain State Park in support of ALS research and our new friend Dr. Marty D'Amore. What a great day and a fantastic hike. Becca and SL hung in strong during the first leg of the hike, up and over Crowder's Mountain. Will, Evan and I finished the day with a fast hike up and down King's Pinnacle. A great day for a great cause.

Damn You Auto Correct! » 15 Most Popular Autocorrects From May 2011
Thanks dear! Needed that fun break. Cockring.... Seriously.
Find a River
The river to the ocean goes,
A fortune for the undertow
None of this is going my way
There is nothing left to throw
Of ginger, lemon, indigo,
Coriander stem and rows of hay
Strength and courage overrides
The privileged and weary eyes
Of river poet search naivete
Pick up here and chase the ride
The river empties to the tide
All of this is coming your way
A fortune for the undertow
None of this is going my way
There is nothing left to throw
Of ginger, lemon, indigo,
Coriander stem and rows of hay
Strength and courage overrides
The privileged and weary eyes
Of river poet search naivete
Pick up here and chase the ride
The river empties to the tide
All of this is coming your way
Note to self...
When one can pull off their jeans without unbuttoning them, one should just get a new (smaller) pair.

I think that it's a sign,
that the freckles in our eyes are mirror images,
and when we kiss they're perfectly aligned.

The Trial - Pink Floyd
LOVE these song lyrics! Some of my favorite sections are in bold.
Good morning, Worm your honor.
The crown will plainly show
The prisoner who now stands before you
Was caught red-handed showing feelings
Showing feelings of an almost human nature;
This will not do.
Call the schoolmaster!
I always said he'd come to no good
In the end your honor.
If they'd let me have my way I could
Have flayed him into shape.
But my hands were tied,
The bleeding hearts and artists
Let him get away with murder.
Let me hammer him today?
Crazy,
Toys in the attic I am crazy,
Truly gone fishing.
They must have taken my marbles away.
Crazy, toys in the attic he is crazy.
You little shit you're in it now,
I hope they throw away the key.
You should have talked to me more often
Than you did, but no! You had to go
Your own way, have you broken any
Homes up lately?
Just five minutes, Worm your honor,
Him and Me, alone.
Baaaaaaaaaabe!
Come to mother baby, let me hold you
In my arms.
M'lud I never wanted him to
Get in any trouble.
Why'd he ever have to leave me?
Worm, your honor, let me take him home.
Crazy,
Over the rainbow, I am crazy,
Bars in the window.
There must have been a door there in the wall
When I came in.
Crazy, over the rainbow, he is crazy.
The evidence before the court is
Incontrivertable, there's no need for
The jury to retire.
In all my years of judging
I have never heard before
Of someone more deserving
Of the full penaltie of law.
The way you made them suffer,
Your exquisite wife and mother,
Fills me with the urge to defecate!
The crown will plainly show
The prisoner who now stands before you
Was caught red-handed showing feelings
Showing feelings of an almost human nature;
This will not do.
Call the schoolmaster!
I always said he'd come to no good
In the end your honor.
If they'd let me have my way I could
Have flayed him into shape.
But my hands were tied,
The bleeding hearts and artists
Let him get away with murder.
Let me hammer him today?
Crazy,
Toys in the attic I am crazy,
Truly gone fishing.
They must have taken my marbles away.
Crazy, toys in the attic he is crazy.
You little shit you're in it now,
I hope they throw away the key.

Your exquisite wife and mother,
Fills me with the urge to defecate!
"Hey Judge! Shit on him!"
Since, my friend, you have revealed your
Deepest fear,
I sentence you to be exposed before
Your peers.
Tear down the wall!
Deepest fear,
I sentence you to be exposed before
Your peers.
Tear down the wall!
