By the end of August there was very little on television or in the papers. Isaac was worth watching and the conventions were coming. We have 2 big trials coming to Detroit and assorted Michigan nonsense plus the new TV shows. I am learning this was misplaced anticipation.
Isaac showed that the Feds, as in Army Corps of Engineers, still have not figured out how to keep shit from flooding and people still insist on living where it is gonna flood.
Ann Romney looked like she was on speed and coached to be perky, perky, perky. Michelle Obama wore a cocktail dress and lavender nail polish to tell us that she and hubs are just plain folks like us.
There is nothing on TV. This is insane, there used to be stuff on TV that you waited for. Boardwalk Empire won't start for weeks, and some shows do not start until October. WTF. And all the Dancing With The Stars contestants are re-treads.
Kwame Kenyatta, Detroit City Council, wants Mayor Bing removed from office because he ignored Kwame's emails. This is the same Kwame who would not vote on things he did not agree with. Kwame Kilpatrick, former Mayor of Detroit, is waiting for a jury to be seated in his trial. One of his co-defendants has threatened to tell all of the dirt because he cannot get a separate trial. WTH.
Well, we are 2 days into the week and no travel plans for Big Daddy yet, that is amazing.

Chrysler filing for Chapter 11
Obama just got off the news, Chrysler going into bankruptcy court and don't worry be happy. Oh, and buy American. Oh, and finance thru GeeMack. Who the fuck is GeeMack? Did he possibly mean G.M.A.C. known here in town as General Motors Acceptance Corporation, or is there a new player in town. Or did his vaunted auto team not tell him GMAC is an acronym that everyone in automotive knows. This is embarrassing. And where the fuck is Chrysler Financial -I thought owned by the three headed dog? Maybe I am mistaken.
What is buy American as said by the president? Don't buy a Prius as Toyota never built one here as they claimed they were going to do, but buy a Camry and fuck Chrysler? Buy a Ford F150 not a Highlander? What is American when Mexico shut down there parts factories today as the pig flu is getting out of hand? And just who is going to fix your car on the Obama warranty plan when the dealerships are shutting down? Is Michelle going to replace your O2 sensor?
Go GeeMack

Major Lifestyle Changes
No more Detroit Free Press. Since the announcement that the paper would be going to 3 day a week delivery and the fact the paper has been reduced to about 4 pages a section, 3 sections-I have been shopping for news. And the winners are-WJR on-line for local news, The Wall Street Journal as they have a bit of everything and "The Middle Seat" blog/opinion about the airline industry, The Washington Post-they have Miss Manners, and The New York Times for the crossword and Maureen Dowd. I love Maureen Dowd, she picks on everyone. All of this will cost about the same as the abysmal Freep.
Speaking of the NYT crossword I really enjoyed Rex Parkers's blog about the ACPT experience. I am still too chicken to compete but if Punkinhead still lives in NYC next year and I am still employed I might go just to watch. Lurk in the bar for famous crossword solvers. How rich.
Things learned while laid-off. I found a new television show on network TV. It is called The Doctors. First I thought why is a soap on the wrong channel in the morning. Then I noticed these are real doctors answering real problems. Like when should you be worried if your skin changes color. Blue is bad. And how men should check their testicles for lumps like women check their breasts. But men are too shy to check their boys. This is why the balls get blue.
Just one more comment (since I have no funny) on Michelle Obama's sleeveless statement, Joy Behar's fixation with Rush Limbaugh, and people orating on people orating. Come on now people.
If you can run your mouth- stop talking about how other people have no right to run their mouth. If one us can be an asshole, we all can be an asshole.
Joy, no one asked you do date Rush Limbaugh, do his laundry, or listen to his radio broadcast. We know you don't like him. Move on.
I made a statement that in my opinion Michelle Obama was sending the wrong message by appearing a in summer dress in a winter photo. We know it was winter because it was taken in February. And I feel with President Obama pushing to tax energy this is provocative statement that the Obama's do not have the feel the pain of lowering their energy bill or their carbon footprint. This is my opinion.------But I am sickened by the comments on many sites that tend to be racial in defending or condemning her clothes. It is clothes people.
The casual dress workplace has changed not only the way people think about dressing but also lessened the chances for learning how to dress from your supervisors. Some of us were not raised by parents knowing what was appropriate for every situation. The book about dressing for success explained how perceptions based on your appearance affected your chances for social acceptance, monetary gains, and public approval. Yes indeed people judge you on your appearance. Usually in a split second.
That said, women over 30 should only wear pink or red nail polish, no women should ever wear white shoes except in June, July and August, and one never wears a lightweight fabric in February (even in black) unless it is 80 degrees in New Orleans. Oh, and Michelle's dress would have looked more fashionable with a hanging pendant or long necklace, both currently on the cutting edge.

Random Thoughts from the Umemployed
This is hard, do I go to most important to least important? Of course, I am the only person with a vote.
Least important, experimental food. Trader Joe's has shelf stable microwave meals that are whole wheat and health friendly. Unfortunately the one I tried is not flavor friendly. To me. I am spoiled by Big Daddy's cooking and used to much finer cuisine. Also, something came on the news today about a recall a Trader Joe's, hope it is not my food. Not too worried. Something with lime, I have no lime type stuff.
Trying out the Wall Street Journal on line (for free). I get the New York Times and with the Detroit Free Press changing to a mostly on-line format I am shopping. The Freep sucks on-line. Why would I pay to be irritated? I can get the local news from WJR on-line and would pay for that. Love the Middle Seat blog in the WSJ for all travel news, this is informative and funny if you travel.
All this conversation about Michelle Obama wearing sleeveless dresses. In the middle of winter. Why isn't that the conversation. How high do they keep the heat in the White House. Yes, she looks great. Does this mean she and the President want all women to turn up the heat and wear summer clothes in the winter? WTF.
And finally, all the sudden everyone hates Rush Limbaugh. Please. People have had opinions about Rush for years. Rush talks about what is important to Rush. How is this different from Joy Behar (did I spell this right?) screeching on the VIEW everyday? Well, Rush doesn't screech and Joy used to be funny before she became a daft harridan. At least Whoopie is still funny.
