Bored of the Crimes

“There was no quid pro quo!”

Trump spent a couple of weeks saying that and tweeting it and making his band of idiots repeat it, but it didn’t work...

...cause there was demonstrable quid pro quo.

So, he sent out a long rambling tweet on Monday that tried to set up his new defense.

“So why if there was quid pro quo. I shouldn’t be impeached for it!”

The talking heads can’t even spin it anymore.

The taxes are going to make an appearance unless the Supreme Court plays criminal too.

“I never said I had any money!” Will be the tweet after that is exposed.

And, unfortunately, I’m bored with it, and I know I shouldn’t be.

People need to stay outraged.

The lowering the bar has been going on for at least 4 years now.

The office of the president has been degraded.

How we talk to one another has degenerated.

Those who want to be racist have become emboldened.

And all because people have become bored with it.

I remember telling my buddy, about 10 days into this administration, that things are going to have to slow down because the intensity of battling with the president is too much.

“People are going to grow weary.”

I think that a lot of people have.

Much of the media has simply accepted the lies.

It’s amazing to watch it all cycle.

Just this Ukraine story has devolved from “perfect call” to “I did it. So what?”

I’m going to try and stay awake...

...I think we’re approaching the end of this version of the Apprentice.

I never watched an episode of that show.

Wish I’d have missed this rendition too.

Suits

Like a lot of other people we got pulled into the series, ‘Suits’ on Netflix. I’ve never had much fun hanging around lawyers who have questioned me as a construction safety officer. I once testified in a case where the opposing lawyer started questioning me by going through my educational background. “So,” he said, racing to a crescendo, “You graduated from college with a degree in Communications-Journalism and suddenly, 30 years later, you’re a ‘safety expert.’” He actually made the quotation marks with his fingers. I just looked at him. “How does that happen?” He bellowed, sure that he was going to discredit me. “Well,” I said. “I knew I was overqualified to become a lawyer.” The courtroom erupted in laughter. Even the judge chuckled. The rest of his questions landed flat. So, I wasn’t all that keen on a show about lawyers, but ‘Suits’ is great. Meghan Markle became a princess because of the show, and she is very good in it (and a beautiful woman). Yet, there is so much more. The wri

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 bet you tha

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’mon, Oliver,”
