Political Commercials

So we have a gubernatorial race going on in California and the mud is being slung via the Idiot box also known as a television.
What is it that the candidates don't understand that most of us don't believe or listen much to the garbage that is on the tube. We realize that it is over inflated sound bytes and that there is so many half truths and deceptions that none of it is worth the money they spent to post it. Perhaps their campaign managers have kickbacks from the multimedia group that puts the commercial together but for us it is just monotonous garbage. So get a clue, do some actual leg work in the communities and town halls and save the TV drama for the soaps.

Don't we have enough laws

I guess it is just a pet peeve with me but every time I see a legislator introducing a new personal bill you know what I mean by personal, a behavior bill. Like the transfat, soda, nutrition in school lunches etc. I get a little upset. You see these folks cannot get the budget under control in my state or the Federal Government yet they have plenty of time to worry about what we eat or drink or how we make a phone call.
I know it is in the best interest of all concerned to take care care of ourselves, but as I pay for two insurance polices for health, insurance for death, for my house, for my cars, and manage to keep my budget balanced. Yes that is right I don't live beyond my means thus I don't owe anyone a damn thing. Which means they need to mind their own business.
If I can manage my household and pay my own way than don't tell me what to do "Comrade"
Yeah you heard me this is not a dictatorship but these professional public servants who pilfer our wallets in any way they can dream up are too concerned and need to be voted out so they can find real work. Enough said on this one.

Animal Rant

So the news must be slow I saw the video where President Obama killed a pesky fly, and PETA denounced him for doing it. Being a member of the old farts club (senior type dude), I am often amazed by these moronic groups that obviously have a huge membership of concerned people as well as idiots. I guess they don't have anything better to do than comment on someone killing a germ laden insect.
The big question is how stupid is this nation getting when it comes to all living creatures? Not being a person who needs and animal to idolize me, I am amazed that so much animal worship takes place for the pet world. Don't get me wrong I have had my share of pets and people can get pretty attached to them; But most folks that have even a small IQ realize that when all is said and done, they are only animals not human.
There are at least 7 pet stores in my small town with a pet park, but not one teen center so our youth can have a place to hang. Perhaps my views are slanted but I see that as stupid.
I still look on investing in young folks by spending time with them or providing them with a fun place to go contributes to their growth and happiness.
I guess the doggy park is more important, for the stability of and animal that licks it's genitals and has been known to eat it's own feces, has love for it's master even if the master is a complete jerk. I understand the concept, if the owner is a jerk the animal will subserviently love him/her without question whereas another human being won't put up with the imbecile for ten seconds. Of course having the animal makes the best sense. But many of us find no need to clean up pet crap or have them lick us in the face, some of us just relate better to other humans. I lament we are a dying breed, enough said.
