Never See The Forest for the Trees

Or, in the case of people out to save the world from itself, they don't seem to see the trees right in front of them because of their focus on the forest.  Works both ways.  Either a person has a sense of balance and timing, or they don't.  It can't be learned or taught.  It's either there, or it isn't.  Good luck with all that.  History says "You're gonna need it".

That's Life

Tough shit, GQ boy.... hey, at least you're banging Gisele, right?

Stop sulking, Brady... jeeze, I don't even like you and can't stand to see you like that.... get the fuck up and start thinking about next season.... Kenny Bing needs a team to hate and the Patriots are it...

Meanwhile, Back At The Debt-O-Zone....

yeah, that's gonna be a little sore in the morning

"Spanish central bank warns of double dip recession"

And why does this matter?

Because if an economy the size of Spain's begins to contract again, it's doubtful that the working engines remaining within the Eurozone are going to be strong enough to pull them out of a stall.

"The latest employment data, released Friday by Spain’s national statistics institute, showed that Spain also had one of the highest levels of youth unemployment in the Western world, with a third of those unemployed aged below 30. "

Rock and hard place.

Well, OK So Long As You Are Both STRAIGHT Children.....

Wedded Bliss....OK for Teenagers but Not OK for Gays

“That prospect underscores the vital importance of this election and the movement to preserve our values. I believe marriage is between a man and a woman and, as president, I will protect traditional marriage and appoint judges who interpret the Constitution as it is written and not according to their own politics and prejudices,” Romney said.

Not hot... but none of my business

Sort of hot....color me curious

A thought occurred to me this morning on the way into work.  We have a whole lot of people who believe in prohibiting gays from marrying one another.  At one time in my life, I might have been inclined to join that bait ball and swim with the masses.  A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away, I was granted the ability to get married to a woman at the tender young age of 18.  That marriage license was granted by the same sorts of people who think that it is a bad idea to let two gays marry.  The two decade long marriage I remained within was the worst thing that ever happened to me....by far.  To this day, I harbor a great deal of regret for my mistake and a great deal of animosity toward my fabulous, wonderful, amazing, goddess-like, genius bitch --- ex-wife.  So, my thought is this – the same idiots who will grant marriage licenses to people who are not a whole lot more than two big children (so long as they are both straight children), are the same Mensa Members who will not allow marriage between two mature adult people who have probably had to do a lot of soul searching in figuring out who they are.  And they prohibit this based only upon the sexual orientation of the couple.  

Does that seem like complete fucking nonsense to anyone else but me?!?!? 

As for what people do in their bedrooms, I don’t care so long as no one is getting injured or hurt.  Other than that, I got 99 problems and one dude fucking another dude or one chick licking another chick ain’t one of them.  If they want to tie the knot, it’s none of my fucking business.

I Don't Race For Cures

I think all that pink dye they wear during the races makes them kind of crazy.

"Runners are athletes. Joggers are douche-bags."  - yours truly is a jogger as I'm too fucking old to run anymore.  I guess that makes me an old douche-bag.

"Many of them now say they are uncomfortable with the size of the foundation's executive salaries, lawsuits against smaller nonprofit groups, partnerships with companies whose products may increase breast cancer risk and lack of investment in research to prevent and treat the disease."

"As many as 80 charities have received letters from Komen attorneys over the years asking them to refrain from using the Komen-trademarked pink ribbon or the catchphrase "for the cure."

"In 2010, Komen teamed up with KFC in a promotion called "Buckets for the Cure," which raised $4.2 million for the charity through sales of pink buckets of chicken."

The only time I get the urge to wear fuzzy pink bunny ears and pink ribbons in my hair is when I'm three sheets to the wind drunk.

Student Debt Bomb

Ka-Boom!

Bankruptcy lawyers are warning about a "student debt bomb" they say is about to explode into a repeat of the mortgage bust.
