Sometimes I get so sick of politics I just want to move to the Yukon and pan for gold or something.
I've pretty much resigned myself to the fact that the Tea Party/Republican Party will destroy our economy, and I'm just as resigned to the fact the Democratic Party will do little to prevent it. The Republicans keep pushing, gleefully, closer and closer to the edge of sanity and all we can do is stand back and watch, knowing that at some point everything will crash...and the liberals will somehow be blamed.
Tea Partiers are like children throwing a tantrum, and like children, they lash out at authority and try to hurt it. Often the tantrums are funny when you think about it. "If you don't give me what I want I'll hold my breath until I die, and then you'll be sorry!" Yeah, but what good will that do you? You'll be dead. Kids don't think that far ahead. The Tea Party is the same way. "If you don't cut the government right this minute I'm going to refuse to raise the debt ceiling and ruin our economy forever and ever, then you'll be sorry!" Yeah, and so will you.
Okay, so as my regular readers know, I hate spiders. My biggest nightmare is waking up in the middle of the night with a spider in my bed. So I really try to avoid them. Today I had to replace the light outside our back door. The old one had been there for 15 years and it was rusted and took a lot work to get it off...and of course the new light didn't fit the hole cut in the siding and the wires were stiff, and the screws didn't line up at all. As I was trying to get the screws started, hundreds of tiny baby spiders started pouring out of the hole in the siding and crawling up my arm and into my shirt and yet I couldn't drop the light. An hour later the light is installed and it works, but I'm still finding the little devils on me. Rich people don't have this problem, they pay people to get bit by spiders. That's why they should pay more taxes.
And now that I'm off topic, how about those Cleveland Indians!!! 12-4 after 16 games, the best record in baseball (tied with the Rockies). I know it wont last so I'm enjoying it now, and I just had to gloat while I can!
Gloat!
