Absolute Dysfunction

-

I won’t shed any tears over Kevin McCartthy being kicked out as leader of the house.

He sealed his fate as a spineless man, in my eyes, when on January 20th he went to Mar-A-Lardo to kiss the ring of the man that he claimed was responsible for the January 6th insurrection.

Like Graham, McCarthy went off on the night of the 6th saying that it was disgusting and a sad day and that Putin Jr. was responsible.

Two weeks later, he went down and placed his lips on a big ass.

So, I was all done with him as a ‘leader’.

Yet, the entire charade yesterday is embarrassing. It’s never happened before.

Big forehead Gaetz was all over the place as the man who escalated the chaos because he NEEDS to be in the news, and because there is an ethical committee situation that may prove sticky for him - given the escorts and the paying for them - some who were underage - allegedly - and transporting them across state lines.

Yeah.

Our leaders!

A GOP house member was on one of the news shows yesterday and he was critical of Gaetz.

“We should be like a good baseball umpire. We should do our job and not become the subject of the game. No one should know who we are. Gaetz doesn’t believe that.”

Gaetz - for all you baseball fans out there - is the Angel Hernandez of lawmakers.

I cringe when I know that Angel is a member of the umpiring crew because I know that before the game is over he will screw something up and then beat his chest as he doubles down on his garbage.

It can’t get much worse can it?

And to make it all come full circle, their political god is in a New York City courtroom…

…on his way to a fraud conviction.

And Joe is too old????

Is President Biden’s age truly what might make someone vote for any of these clowns?

I don’t care if Joe is 110…

…at least he’s not these clowns.

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,”
