Okay, so I'm against the law Arizona passed. And let me say up front that I'm for Jews, and Gays and Lesbians, and all minorities... But I have to say this: Just like southerners don't have the right to turn blacks away from lunch counters, a veto on this bill means that a Jewish owned lunch counter MUST serve the Neo-Nazis and Islamic Holocaust Deniers, a Black owned lunch counter MUST serve the Klan members who walked in wearing all white robes and poiny hoods, and the Gay owned lunch counter MUST serve the Westboro Baptist Church members who all are all wearing T-shirts that say "God Hates Fags." And don't kid yourself... with the first two examples, when notified of the situation, the people will probably get up and leave anyway. But the Westboro Baptist Church members will stay so you throw them out, and then they'll sue you and put you out of business if you take the bait.
Replacing an old Central Air Conditioner is COMPLICATED. I thought it would take me about a week start to finish to sign contracts... but there are a million details! Looking forward to a cool summer.
Why did the guy who got busy with the cow and worked in the schools have to be an IT guy?
I was thinking about Obamacare, and I'm starting to agree with the liberals that a single payer system would have been better. But why stop there. We should have a single payer system for food too... you need that to live, right? And a single payer system for housing too - gotta have shelter. While we're at it, how about a single payer system for transportation too? We could even tier that one like Obamacare. Bronze and you have to ride the bus. Silver and you get to use subways. Gold you get a car and can take the train. Platinum and you get a car, and you get to fly too! And while were at it, we can have the Platinum plan require that the airlines tear out those things masquerading as seats and replace them all with Lazy Boy recliners with heat and cooling, and vibrating foot massage.
I mailed in my gun registration forms on the 31st. Put it in the mail box at the post office that was still open in Hartford. Wasn't really sure if I got the 31st postmark. Now it doesn't matter. But it's closing in on March, and I still have absolutely nothing back from the government about my registration. In theory, I'm not allowed to move any of that grandfathered stuff around without my approved, countersigned, registered, inspected, and neglected form. Hope they send it to me before the government rifle range reopens for the season, or a felon I will be.
The stories on the weekend that NPR broadcasts on its various shows are amazing. Last Saturday, I had 3 "driveway" moments... where I'm sitting in the car at my destination, listening to the end of the story.
Okay... so there is more snow coming Sunday into Monday. NOOOOOOOOO! Somebody Make It STOP!
Insomnia sucks.
Oh yeah... one more thing. The JI won't publish your letter to the editor if you make a decent argument refuting a long standing position the paper has taken... namely how Connecticut is actually a really business friendly state, or if it it isn't, then its okay because we have a good quality of life... or something. Apparently, a fact filled rebuttal isn't worth the ink.
