New Years Potpourri Post

This was going to be a short post. Like most of my posts, it started out with a quick little idea. This one started off while I was listening to the morning “news” on the “radio.” They were saying how the new Fed chick (her name is Janet L. Yellen), the first woman to hold the position, historic hype, is going to be a breath of fresh air at the Fed. That alone was enough to discredit those who deserve no credit to begin with. I mean come one, the most reported trait she has is how much she is going to be like the Ben Bernanke. That's what inspired my joke. Here it is. She is so much like the former Fed Chairman she will most likely grow a very groomed very grey beard by the end of her first year. One that would be worthy of accompanying that lovely gray mane of hers. That was it, that was my joke. It was way more funny in my head. Kind of like the Federal Reserve, it is one giant bad joke. The other point that has been brought up over and over and it will be touched on at the end of this blog, is the historic-ness of the first time any person on thing happens. All I can think of now when I hear that said is the line from the fine animated feature length move “The Incredibles.” “When everyone's super, no one will be.” We are to that point. If we try to make everything historic, nothing is historic. And that is the case with the new Fed Res Chair. Not super, not special, not historic.

Moving on, past my bad jokes. This post also serves as a proof of life post. I am still alive, and like I have said, I think many times before, it is not due to lack of material to blog about that this blog goes unserviced. Let’s take a peek at a few topics.

ObamaCare. A mess by design. A mess due to incompetence. A mess because no one wants to tell the King or anyone one close to him, that the magic thread is really not magic at all, it fact it’s a straight up lie. A few things I want to know is how the DSH and the Whitehouse can change this law as they go along. That part has not been explained to me, and most likely never will. I am guessing it was little bits of “at the discretion of the Director” or “at the discretion of the President” written into the law by the dutiful Dems to cover their asses. I wonder if any of them even know those caveats were in there, seeing they didn’t read it before they passed it. This is all a stepping stone to a single paying (that single payer being the United States Government via me and you, the tax payer). The more this fails, the better single payer looks. Again, failure by design.

Taking money from middle age military retirees. A.K.A., ME! The one percent reduction in cola for military retirees before they are 65. That is me. That is me in a very short number of years. That is money directly out of my wallet. I wish they would take a little piece of all these alleged valuable benefits I am told I have instead of  taking away actual dollars. It is only going to get worse. They know they can chip away at Vets and we will “Solider” on. I have had a 20 plus year agreement/contract with the government of the United States via the United States Navy. I held up my end, I expected them to do the same. Unfortunately, I expect nothing less from the shitty representation in the Legislative and Executive branches that we currently have, to take away from me, while fighting to give more and more to those who have no such contract and have given no service or sacrifice for their entitlements and or benefits. It is both sad and infuriating and will only get worse. Stand by for Bonus Army Redux.

Hillary “Benghazi” Clinton. The last thought I had on my drive into work was this: Hillary 2016. I know, if that is the thoughts that I have, there could be something wrong with me. Anyways. It is time for a woman President. Even my six year old daughter who knows very little about our government and our Presidency has asked many time why their has been no women Presidents. We might even be over due for a woman president. But it is not time, and more importantly, it will never be time for Hillary “Benghazi” Clinton to be that woman. I mean if it is a woman or if it is another man, if they are from the Republican or Democratic Party, like she said, “What difference, at this point, does it make?” They, he or she, will just keep us trucking down the road to destruction with less freedom and more tyranny along the way. They will inherit a massive and growing pile of shit. I guess the best we can now hope for is the taking responsibility and not a constant drum beat of blame the predecessor. Shake the eight ball until you get a negative response, and that's most likely the truth.

So, Happy New Year. Peace.
