Investigate Oneself

-

The House actually passed the bill to investigate the violent insurrection on January 6th.

Who knows if the Senate will follow. Moscow Mitch has already made his intentions known.

He doesn’t want an investigation because…

…well, he had same lame reasons, but it comes down to not finding people of his party guilty.

“We know what happened!” I yelled to the interior of my car.

And if that were McConnell’s statement that would be understandable, but it appears to me that a bunch of people don’t want any sort of oversight.

Because they did it!

When I was in college a progressive professor asked us to grade our own essays.

I wrote a big fat ‘A’ in the right corner.

“Why did you give yourself an ‘A’?” He asked.

“Because I didn’t want a ‘B’,” I said.

All of the politics involved in that horrible day is downright disgusting.

People were badly injured.

Others were killed.

We watch the speeches that incited the violence.

The insurrection was filmed!

It was an attack on America, by Americans that was coordinated and orchestrated by people who were in office tasked with protecting America!

“Let’s move on,” one idiot said.

That CAN’T HAPPEN!

It did happen and those responsible must be held accountable.

Of course there are people involved who don’t want an investigation!

Because they did it!

I didn’t get an ‘A’ on that essay.

The teacher changed it to a ‘B+’ because that’s what I deserved.

These people need to get what they deserve.

Prison.

For all.

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,”
