Important Stuff -- Or Not: Back to Abnormal

Back to Abnormal

I pretty much slept the last two days away. I slept all day Thursday, all night, and all day today. I got out for awhile to buy the new iPhone, but when I got to the AT&T store, there were about 50 people lined up. So, I went to IHOP and an hour later there were still 50 people lined up. Seems they're having trouble with the new phones. So, I'm going to sit it out for awhile with my fried phone. I questioned today whether I got the same cat back that I took in. Guinevere has been behaving most un-Gwen like. Instead of pacing and giving her weird trilling sound at mealtime, she sits patiently next to her bowl. And today, she slept all day in the crook of my arm. She has NEVER done that before. She usually just wakes me up for a brushing and then leaves after I'm done. Not that I have anything to brush now that she's been shaved. But then she threw up a hairball that looked like a dreadlock and I knew I had the right feline. Don't know where she got all the hair. I returned to work tonight and it was just like I'd never left. By that I mean there was no "welcome back," no "long time no see," no "where you been?" Just another day in liberal land. It is summer and summer means interns. This place looks like a Bill Clinton theme park. I ignore them, so they fear me. Or resent me. I don't know which. It's just unseemly to hang on every word of a giggly valley girl. One of them told me her name, but I forgot it, since I have no intention of talking to her. Guess that makes me a crusty old journalist like the crusty old journalists who wouldn't talk to me when I first got here -- and still don't. Oops, double shooting in Cambodia. As if anyone cares. Gotta get back to work.

Anonymous said...: I was thinking of you as I watched news reports of the long lines for the iPhone. Actually, I'm glad to see you didn't fall into line with the rest of them.

Sounds like Gwen found out she wasn't the center of the universe and really appreciates you now. She should be back to feline self-centeredness shortly.... ;); 1:07 PM

Talking Points

I don't use talking points, I create them.

1. Hate makes people stoopid.

2. There is nothing so impenetrable as a closed mind.

3. A stupid person is not someone who can't learn, but someone who refuses to learn.

10. Children are not stupid. If a child is taught, the child will learn. If a child is not learning, the child is not being taught.

29. Reading Democratic Party platforms is like reading the history of human rights abuses and crimes against humanity in this country.

25 Immutable Truths About Liberals

Over the years I've been writing this blog, I've been throwing out little self-evident truths that seem to have no exceptions that prove the rule. I've made a list of some of them and will add to it as I remember them or make up more. Most of this list I've come up with myself. A few I've borrowed from others.

1. Always expect the worst from a liberal and you will never be surprised.

2. Never try to reason with a liberal. They disregard any evidence that conflicts with their beliefs.

3. You can always tell what liberals are up to by what they accuse conservatives of doing.

4. Liberals don't debate, they argue.

5. The only standards liberals have are double standards.

6. Liberals feel, conservatives think.

7. Whenever you don't understand a liberal's motives, just look for the money.

8. Liberals cannot be embarrassed. They lack the gene to blush.

9. The Liberal Golden Rule is, "Do unto others but scream bloody murder if they do unto you."

10. Liberals don't have leaders, they have demi-gods.

11. There are no honest liberals. If they were honest -- especially to themselves -- they would be conservatives.

12. A liberal's business is nobody's business, but everyone's business is a liberal's business.

13. Liberals have an inflated sense of self-worth. They are like house flies that criticize the air-worthiness of a Stealth fighter. (Sarah Palin, George W. Bush, ad infinitum are morons.)

14. Liberals lack a sixth sense that conservatives have in abundance -- common sense.

15. Liberals never stop hating.

16. There are only two types of liberals -- the deceivers and the deceived. The difficulty is telling them apart.

17. Every time liberals get on their high horse, they get bucked off.

18. Liberal programs are so wonderful that they have to be forced on people.

19. Liberals always choke on their own medicine.

20. When given a moral choice, liberals always come down on the wrong side of the fence.

21. The only way liberals can build themselves up is by tearing others down.

22. Liberals not only refuse to learn from their mistakes, they refuse to admit them.

23. Liberals have only two political positions -- blind devotion and blind hatred.

24. Liberals are incapable of attacking the message, so they always attack the messenger.

25. Liberal diversity is only skin deep.
