Today the GOP canceled a vote on a bill to repeal Obamacare, because they couldn't get enough Republican's to sign on. It's a pathetic performance by Ryan. The draining of the swamp needs to extend to the cuckold "leaders" on the Hill. DC changes NOW or this nation is finished.

Congratulations to Team USA!
Congrats on a great and deserved championship for Team USA! I'm a fan of the WBC, and have enjoyed watching it. There are lots of haters out there bashing it as a pointless exhibition, but that just tells me they never watched the tourney, because it's some dang fine baseball!

Before you hit "share" and give undue praise to the New York billionaires who have asked their state to raise taxes on the wealthy, think it through: their income is inherited and/or from investment streams, and thus not within the scope of the increase they propose. It's an empty plea that impacts only other people's wallets. How very noble of them.
Monday night I was watching Mannix.
Jessica: Danny, when did you guys get rid of cable?
Me: Huh? We still have Direct TV.
Jessica: (confused) Then why . . .
Lisa (laughs) What you don't understand is that Dan *chooses* to watch this stuff. A hundred bucks a month for TV and he spent last night watching Bob Newhart and Columbo. He's insane.
London Terror
Sweet Lord, stop putting "terrorist incident" in quotes. Even if, in your merry Liberal dreams, the London attack was not religious or political in nature, it is quite clearly *a terrorist act*.
RIP Chuck Barris
RIP Chuck Barris, creator and host of the Gong Show, songwriter, and super secret agent for the CIA (he said). He was 87.

My eldest :)
Monday Gracie got her first ever paycheck, and today after school I took her to set up her first independent bank account. My YaYa is growing up

Dave and Busters
Lisa and I were going to try this place solo, but Smiley wound up coming along, and then LuLu Stacey C, and OJ's friend Richard called and said they were unable to skate as planned, soooo . . . My birthday Eve date night featured four kids, even if two weren't mine!
My verdict on the joint? Prohibitively expensive, mind numbingly loud, and full of arcade games that fail to appeal to me because I'm, you know, a grown up. Good food tho. Still, I doubt I'll return.
Birthday Ruiner
I was *supposed* to be at a get together for my birthday, but some boss that will go unnamed scrapped that idea. I spent most of the shift singing "Birthday ruiner" to the tune of "Jukebox hero," and instead am hitting the gym.

Lisa's Work
Lisa's latest work: styrofoam balls completely covered by gold thumb tacks, creating ornamentation for a centerpiece.
My Thoughts - Entitlement
There is no entitlement, no matter how ridiculous, that doesn't make people feel "wronged" when someone finally comes around and scraps it. That's why politicians cram them in a budget, to make you beholden to their office. An emotional response to budget cuts is therefore irrelevant. Instead, ask yourself a: is this a legitimate duty of this branch of gov't, or gov't as a whole? b: would legislation creating the entitlement pass if it was originally floated today? c: is this goal better met by private enterprise?
