Michigan Beer

Lenten Rose from my yard.

Big Daddy had a Zoom meeting with 3000 participants. Nancy Pelosi cannot get Congress on line.

My yard got mowed today, good thing our Governor is now drinking beer. Michigan beer not Canadian beer. It is on You Tube.

Mr. Rooter

Mr. Rooter won the hot water tank replacement for the bargain price of just under $3,ooo US dollars. And yes that includes permits. Ouch. New pipes and fireplace liners. What a disaster. Took 8 hours. And the dishwasher still does not work. WTF. And the dishwasher guy said the water tank guys were a rip-off. U Cool ice maker making funny noises, oh yea, I forgot to turn it off when I went to China. Defrosted it and am waiting to see if it will make ice again. Watered the plants and am waiting to see if they come back. Gotta fix this before I leave again in March.

Finally feel like I am back on track at home.

Work email is sending messages of email too full and I still have to do the PDP. Barbie is still pissing me off mentally and the leech is not my favorite person right now. Supposed to build S2 next week and we will see just how this is going to work. Let us see what Fed Ex brings us tomorrow. Good friend in the department was offered a transfer to Chicago as some southern plant wanted the guy fired for taking bribes back at their plant. She did not agree with the fact that they were wrong, so she is not their friend. Quality is Job 1, not job 2. What part of "you are part of the problem" are these auto plant people not getting? And you don't have to pay taxes on your insurance policy? Thanks Nancy and Harry!

Big Daddy says I am in a FUNK

Also that I have neglected my funny of the day. Punkin Head kinda said the same thing. Apparently they see no humor in my quest to fund port-a-pottys in tent city with Nancy Pelosi's pearls.

Well I did leave the house yesterday to get my hair done. Gotta keep up the roots. Saw a Grosse Pointe matron with fuchsia hair. My hair lady said she did it herself to save money, "and at her age you cannot afford not to have professional tinting". Why not just go brown? Every fashion magazine has ads for natural looking hair color you can buy at the discount store. I on the other hand am blond and there is nothing worse than bottle blond-even fuchsia. Fuchsia means you know it is not natural and natural was never a goal.

Saw the toe lady, she misses me. We have a plan to turn Grosse Pointe into the French Quarter of Michigan. It involves alcohol and maybe a Madam. The crumbling architecture, eccentrics, and too many lawyers are already here.

I hope you remember my neighbors, I have an update on the cookie lady. She of the two mud holes in her way past tacky front yard. She now has 5 tomato cages in one of the mud puddles. She also planted potatoes and corn in that "next to the sidewalk" plot. WTF. If you want to be a farmer why do you buy property with no yard but a patch in front. And I can't wait until the SPAWN OF THE DEVIL gang finds those tomatoes on a hot and muggy summer night. Thank goodness my car is red.

Speaking of red,also white and blue I have to get Big Daddy on the flag patrol. Tomorrow is Memorial Day and as we can only hang our flag when we can watch it (the spawn again) it is time to shake it out and hang it on porch. Jets from Selfridge will fly over my house and I can see them from the front porch. Thrilling sight and god bless our military men and women, they do a job I cannot. Thank you.

Idle thoughts

It's not like I don't have things to do-go over resume Big Daddy pumped up, cry, do my own toes, cry, make plans to get the house ready to sell or rent or put into foreclosure, cry, and weed the garden.

I can't understand a couple of things. I remember when it was good to make a 10% profit. When did everyone get so nuts? The house I bought in the early 90's is probably worth less than I paid for it as Grosse Pointe real estate really tanked. And I have a modest home. I know factory workers that bought 350 to 400 thousand dollar homes on the same or not much more income than we had. How the F### did that get approved? And I know factory workers losing homes in the hood that I am surprised anyone except a crack dealer would own. And the crack dealer would not live there. I know this because I was a juror in Federal Court on a cocaine trial and they presented evidence on their living conditions. It was creepy.

I also don't understand Food Stamps. There is a huge controversy in New Orleans right now regarding Councilwoman Stacy Heads' remarks on purchases made with Food Stamps. She does not like people purchasing pre-formed hamburger pattys along with prepared foods and junk. And people think she is racist. Who the fuck would buy, much less eat hamburger from Wal-Mart? Come on people! The government is thinking about taxing stupid and zero value added nutrition purchases and people are defending hamburger and Little Debbies. If it is okay to put a sin tax on smokes and liquor why not fatty hamburger and Little Debbies. And potato chips and Fritos and Red Bull.

If Nancy Pelosi ever gets her story straight on whatever the fuck it is she is doing the next project she takes on should be Food Stamps and the proper use of Little Debbies in the American diet.

Some Things Change and Some Things Don't

Dealerships are being shut down today. Some are family owned businesses that supported a couple of generations with middle class lifestyles. Not yachts and moats like out British kin, but sand boxes and side walks. Oh well, as long as Obama is happy. Maybe Obama will buy us all an IPod and some DVD's that we can use in our tent cities, where I am sure we will have solar and wind power.

Don't want to piss off my UAW friends-but ya know we are gonna have all the best spots first in tent city. Look for swamp.

Big Daddy is networking, resuming, and telling his head-hunter peeps anything is good now. No more I would like to live in a real apartment. Tent City is fine.

And now our best cartoon, Nancy Pelosi, is saying Bush buffaloed her. She did not understand? Once again I must state we need to take those pearls and put them on a normal person. I vote for me. If I don't win can we auction them off and buy port-a-pottys for tent city?

Henry Ford was wrong?

According to Nancy (you remember the Demi Moore wannabe) Pelosi, Mr. Ford had it all wrong. Black is bad. As in car color. You know, the color of the limos she rides in on her way to the Air Force jets she flies to and from California. You know, the ones with the dark tinted glass.

Well, while she was jetting across of the USofA in the government provided G5 she deduced that the lowly people driving about on what used to be called roads and streets were being wasteful. They were using AC in their cars, and the black cars were the worst. Cuz they heated up more, or maybe faster, or whatever. So Nance is pissed and wants no more black cars. Maybe she should talk to the dude in charge of the Auto Industry that is learning it. Like they could not find a dude that knew automotive. Ever heard of Roger Penske, Lee Iacocca, Bob Lutz or maybe just the car guys on the radio.

And Nance (just so you all know, I am not spelling her name wrong, I am calling her NANCE with no accent on the E) just sell your pearls and you can pay for your staffs bonuses without charging the taxpayers-why do your people get bonuses and people like me don't. Bitch. I make well under a $100,000.00 and no one would take my job on a bet.

Okay, funny of the day. The slovenly hut they make the smokers congregate in is built on a concave section of asphalt which regularly floods. This area flooded prior to the hut. It is really nasty. But if it is cold and raining your choice is nasty hut or roll the dice for time off by smoking inside. Some person within the last few months moved a small table in there. OK. Next there was a thick plastic cover over the doorway which kept the smoke in. Next there was a fake plant on the table. Actually quite a nice fake plant for a nasty plant. The next addition is quite upsetting . . .

Bambi, Bambi was setting on the table. Now remember, this table (filthy) is outdoors in a filthy, nasty, bus type station, with litter all about. So here we got Bambi next to the fake plant. AND some ASSHOLE MF set Bambi on fire. Why, why, why? Why would you hurt fake Bambi? Why would you set fire to a little bit of fake and tawdry shit in your smoking shithole? What is wrong with you?

We found Bambi outside the shithole, very smoke damaged, and we are looking for donations for bandages. I have a picture, I am waiting for Big Daddy to black out my face-I do not want to have to testify-of how sad Bambi is.

Nancy Pelosi is pissing me off

Okay, I don't believe most of what I read, but someone tell me if it is true that Nancy and Obama's vacations plans drove the voting on the "Lets give a lot of money to people with no training to handle the (money) stimulus plan (and by the way they don't need to read the plan) real quick so we can go on our little trips. Trips that cost the US taxpayers mucho dollars in keeping these people from brushing shoulders with us regular folks. Obama, okay I don't want him at Detroit Metro-too much confusion. Nancy, if she doesn't pose with the lip pout would anyone notice she is there except for Anderson Cooper. And he might be busy that day.

Every time I look at the television, Internet, or the old fashioned newspaper I see this woman posing in a manner that indicates to me she thinks she is Demi Moore. I don't know why but I think Demi Moore. Coco Chanel wore pearls but she never played to the balcony. Coco had respect for herself. Never pouted her lips for likes of the ....well let us not go there.

This gets worse, Mitch Albom is thinking like I am according to what I read in the Detroit Free Press, where does Kwame Kilpatrick's mom, a US Congresswoman get the money and-just call it a pair-to send her little boy to Dallas on a private plane on a government salary. And in my opinion why isn't his wife working. I very rarely agree with Mitch Albom.

Weird new of the day, reports from some GREEN scientist reporting in Chicago, Global Climate Change is occurring because China and India are growing their economies and may use more coal. They will be warm and make cars, while we will freeze and somehow the rain forests will burn with no conversation on the fact that the rain forests are being cut down for money for the exotic wood. WTF.

So I say we should get Nancy, Demi, Mitch, Obama, Kwame, and don't forget New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin, and Detroit City Council president Monica Conyers and see if Detroit Councilwoman Martha Reeves (elected because she could sing in the old days) can identify who is who. Martha Reeves is pulled into this mess because she did not know that Tiger Stadium was being torn down-she is really up on local issues. That is the sad state of affairs in our country right now. Nobody leading nobody in Motown and Nancy pursing her lips in photo ops with scarlet lipstick. WTF.
