I Must Break You

Didn't Sylvester Stallone teach anyone the lesson in Rocky IV?

Seems like we have a problem brewing in Russia again, huh?

I don't know a lot about it other than I get a bunch of updates on my phone about who is threatening who. Of course there are also statements about it on Facebook.

Everyone has an opinion.

If you hate Obama he's certainly handling the situation with absolute incompetency. If you don't hate him, perhaps it all seems to be handled correctly thus far.

I had fun the other day when someone posted a photo of George W. saying:

"He'd know what to do!"

I wrote:

"Attack Iraq?"

I didn't bother to get into the discussion that followed.

Hit and run. That's the best way to handle political discussions.

Why get all in a mess over it?

We can't control it, right?

And Putin is a terrorist, right?

Years ago Mandela was painted as a terrorist and Bin Laden and Hussein were glorified as friends of the USA.

It's all a point of perspective, right?

And we honestly don't have it.

We just don't.

So why get in a tizzy about it?

Look on the bright side:

At least now we can go back to making the Russians the bad guys in all the best action films, right?

Perspective.

Bush attacked Iraq because all those dumbasscrats said Saddam had weapons of mass destruction. I don't understand why you loony liberals don't remember your horn dog in chief, woman abuser, Bill Clinton telling us so even before Bush was elected. I guess it is easier for you libs to elect women abusers then to think intelligently.

You are a good man and a TRUE liberal. By true liberal I mean you give of YOUR time and money to help those around you and for that you have all my respect. You have earned a respect above and beyond most people. Again, you are one of the best of men.


On the other hand your politics are one of little knowledge and ignorance.
I used the hit and run strategy from your post.

I don't have "politics". Thanks for the compliments but I find little comfort in the decisions made by either side...they serve their own interests and it shames me...what I meant by posting the blog in the 1st place

My Buddy, Dave

Way back in 1997, I started working with a steel erection company out of Syracuse. I was coming straight from a long stint with a steel erector here in Buffalo so I knew my stuff when it came to steel erection safety rules. On day one, I met with the safety director and he was just getting started as a safety guy, but man, he certainly cared about the guys he worked with. Dave was a good man from the start. He’d say things like: “You’re so full of beans.” Just a down to earth, hardworking guy who became a fast friend. We drove all around New York State setting up jobs. I always let Dave drive so that I could rest. One fine day, way up North of Syracuse, we passed a state trooper.  I glanced at the speedometer. “You’re screwed,” I said, and seconds later, the lights came on. Dave was beside himself.  The cop stopped by the window, grabbed the license and registration and headed back to his vehicle. “Here’s the thing,” I said. “You’re pissed, but you’re such a good guy that I be...

Mom & Ollie

 Ollie Stadium is a mess. The heavy rains rendered the backyard a mud pit and even though we threw in the side yard, the Big O was looking for more, and we were both covered in mud. I had to take some steam out of him somehow so I suggested we go visit Grandma. Ollie hates the car, but he laid quietly as we made the trip. We even brought the football because there is plenty of room to play at Grandma’s. Mom opened the door and started laughing. I thought about the love she had for every single dog we ever had. Oliver was quick to give my Mom a kiss, and then he stood beside her. The love between Mom and Dogs is a mutual bond. Through the years, Mom would make breakfast for the dogs.  Fried eggs, toast, bacon… She would wrap Christmas gifts for them. “To Jeter, Love Santa,” she would write on the cards. They played with the big chicken that made a lot of noise. Mom tossed the football and Ollie brought it back to her. As the visit drew to a close I headed for the door.  “C...

My sister’s book is out there! Go get it!! It makes me so proud to see the book on Amazon, knowing that it’s very, very great! It’s been a long, long time since we were out in California, brainstorming my stories long before they were published. Carrie Lynn was writing, writing and writing some more through the years and I kept telling her… …”Go for it!” Well, she did!  To amazing results. Of course I was able to read the book as it was being put together, but I ordered a copy from Amazon yesterday and can’t wait to read it again. The shoe is on the other foot now as I have been sitting on a lot of my writing lately. I plan on getting it out there before the end of 2024, but for now: Carrie takes center stage! And it’s so great… …go get a copy!
