To the Republicans:
STFU: You do *NOT* get to simultaneously bitch about big government and then complain about how little they’re doing for you. Pick a side. If you tax-starve the government, they aren’t able to respond to things like the BP Oil Spill. Our government is *STILL* getting over Bush’s 8 years of famine. The fact that [...]
Multiple Universes…
One theory – The universe is a bubble, one bubble among many, like soapsuds. Not all of them have life, not all of them have the same rules we do. We can’t know. We have consciousness, which is to say, we are aware of ourselves. But that’s really about ALL we’re aware of. We have [...]
Wordless Wednesday – A Happy Birthday
It’s a running joke in our household that when taking a picture of my youngest, you’re more likely than not to catch him not touching the ground in any way, shape or form. Happy Birthday Iain – who turned 5 last week.
A question for Rand Paul…
Dear Dr. Paul: You dislike federal spending. Your state receives $1.51 for every $1 in federal income taxes paid. By your own argument, you are for smaller government. I would like to know which federal programs you will move to opt out of as the Jr. Senator from Kentucky. Highway dollars? Welfare? Will you force [...]
Virginia Morons… #HCR
Ok, On January 13, 2010, the IDIOTS in the virginia legislature passed the following amendment to the Code of Virginia as follows: § 38.2-3430.1:1. Health insurance coverage not required. No resident of this Commonwealth, regardless of whether he has or is eligible for health insurance coverage under any policy or program provided by or through [...]
Holy shit what a day…
So from what all three of my readers knows, i’ve had a bit of a workplace issue. I walked in this morning and quit my job. It wasn’t really planned, and I was fairly certain it wasn’t a smart thing to do per-se, the whole “Hey idiot, you don’t have another job lined up yet” [...]
Every workplace has one… *RANT*
But I work in government, so there are several in mine. But one in particular makes me rethink my position on workplace violence on a daily basis. You know the type that makes you daydream of dangling someone by a foot off the tallest building around, knowing that your upper body strength sucks and that it would [...]
An Early Father’s Day Post
Well, the time has come. Yet another in a series of manufactured holidays intended to encourage us to go out and spend money we don’t have on stuff we don’t need. Luckily women have it much easier than men most of the time when it comes to gift shopping. Tools or small personal electronics and [...]
A few bits about taxes and tax cuts for the #teabaggers
Overwhelmingly, republican leaning states receive more federal dollars than they spend. I’m waiting on more recent data, but the numbers from this 2005 report (Source: Taxfoundation.org) say it all. (FYI – taxfoundation.org is largely described as a fairly right-leaning think-tank, for what it’s worth.) First this bit: You are undermining the government of the country [...]
