In Case You've Wondered

My blog is where my wandering thoughts are interspersed with stuff I made up. So, if while reading you find yourself confused about the context, don't feel alone. I get confused, too.

If you're here for the stories, I started another blog: scratchingforchange.blogspot.com

One other thing: sometimes I write words you refuse to use in front of children, or polite company, unless you have a flat tire, or hit your thumb with a hammer.

I don't use them to offend; I use them to embellish.

This Is Interesting

The First Lady announced limited tweets, due to the "shut down"  I'm assuming her tweets require part of her staff to complete and the staff is furloughed.

How about that? Having someone paid to tweet for you? I'd call the the life of luxury and embarrassingly selfish. This makes me wonder if one of her staff wipes her butt.

Meanwhile, in a moment of irrelevancy, the President compared Obamacare to owning an I-phone. 

"...Consider that just a couple of weeks ago, Apple rolled out a new mobile operating system, and within days, they found a glitch, so they fixed it. I don't remember anybody suggesting Apple should stop selling iPhones or iPads or threatening to shut down the company if they didn't. That's not how we do things in America. We don't actively root for failure. We get to work, we make things happen, we make them better, we keep going...."

Now, that one left me scratching my head. If Apple built a phone that didn't do what was advertised, quit when you tried to activate it, had no guarantee, was sold at twice the advertised price and somebody threatened to fine you if you didn't buy one, I'm thinking Apple would close within the first week, due to lack of sales and threats.

So, the madness continues.

  1. Yep, saw that 'comparison' - the only problem with it is that at least Apple will admit that there are problems - AND make a concerted effort to fix them. barry apparently thinks that o'care is perfect (after all it is named after him) and thus needs no tweaks of any sort..................

    1. What makes it worse is he has now idea how to lead or offer solutions. The fact his only experience is running his mouth is glaringly apparent. As far as business, he's dumb as a box of rocks.
