The Tigers LOST to the Twins so no more baseball for me - except to root against the Yankees. So far Minnesota is breaking my heart. I hope they rally and hand the Yankees their ass on a platter. Apologies to any friends who are Yankee fans. I just can't stand the obnoxiousness of Steinbrenner and this the way he treats people who work for him. Also am hoping Joe Torre's Dodgers will meet them in the world series and kick their sorry butt. I'd love to see Steinbrenner's ugly face enraged. lol
So it seems normally cooler weather makes me happy but with all the rain it's been damp and dark and makes it feel gloomy.
Health care reform is turning out to be a massive joke in this country. I doubt we will have anything good at the end. Either more of the same or worse. They're talking about making it mandatory for everyone to have insurance but they don't want to give us a public option to choose from. The insurance company dweebs are thrilled. Now we won't have to worry about some government bureaucrat making our medical decisions for us. We can continue to have some insurance company bureaucrat doing it as they have been thus far. This country is so totally fucked it's hard to continue being optimistic.
On the upside, the Republicans keep shooting themselves in the foot. They're in single digit approval numbers despite the Democrats taking a big dive in approval numbers. Just because people are mad at Democrats doesn't mean they're running to Republicans. How could they? They've got Rush "All the fat from my body is in my head now" Limbaugh and Glenn "I could have a nervous breakdown on the spot" Beck making these outrageous comments and only a couple of Republicans have bothered to call them on it without then rushing over to kiss their butts because they're afraid they're base won't re-elect them if they dare to contradict the disastrous duo.
Here's something I thought I'd share with those of you who don't get to watch The Colbert Report regularly. It's a thing of beauty what Stephen Colbert does. He's pure comic genius and is quite possibly the sharpest mind on late night television.
Here's my favorite of the week I just had to post here so I could have it on hand to refer to when the nut jobs get to be a bit much. I love Stephen Colbert. :-)

How's work. Did I miss your blog on how it went with the powers that be visit. Did it rain.
Have given up on Healthcare. Lile always ther is a proposal coming from every representative.
And the Republicans have lost their minds--that stupidity about ther Democrats embracing assisted suicide with his Healthcare to save money on Social Security and Medicare. Or was that just the local Republicans in Richmond? I have been gone a week and feel I have been out of it a month.
Thank you for the Colbert report, he is the best on T.V. I have been enjoying your blog for quite a while, I don't comment much on blogs but I like your combination of LOCI,life and politics, please keep up the good work. All the best. Rosey
Hi Basric! Nice to see you back. :-)
Didn't miss the post on the corporate visit. I just didn't post a follow up as it was anti-climatic. They showed up for 20 minutes, it didn't rain but they noticed the gaping hole in the ceiling, asked about it and left. Yeah, they care. lol
No nut jobs all over the country are buying the whole assisted suicide and death panel scenario. It's frustrating.
Hi Rosemary, thanks for commenting.:-) Glad you're enjoying the blog.
Apparently I am in an alternative universe - the video is unavailable to me.
What it is to live in a third world country like the UK.
Hi Val,
Sorry you can't watch this. It's kind of odd. I thought there was a Daily Show clip I posted that you watched? Maybe I'm wrong.
Sometimes it won't post for me even though I've posted before. Most likely it's either Blogger or Comedy Central needs to get their act together better when it comes to video offerings.
