Eighteen and One Half Minute Gap

I'm an old fart, so I remember the gap in the Nixon tapes. Nixon's secretary answered a phone call, wasn't paying attention to where her feet were, and recorded over five minutes of important information. She fessed up to that, but not the additional 13- 1/2 minutes, which nobody could account for losing.

So, Nixon had a gap in his recordings. The White House has two days of gaps in their emails about Benghazi. Nixon was trying to hide something. I'm betting the White house has the same reason.

When They Poisoned the Kool-Aid

There's a point where the cult members realize there's something wrong with the Kool-Aid. I think the Obamanites might have reached that point. Time will tell.

He Doesn't Know Anything

Issa: "Were you aware that men in your immediate staff were sodomizing other men in your agency?"

Holder: "I recused myself and have no knowledge of the circumstances: "

Issa: "Were you aware that it was you being sodomized:"

Holder: ....................................!!!!!

Turn Signal Etiquette

For those that aren't sure: Slowing down, braking and then turning on your turn signal is ass-backwards of the correct procedure. The correct sequence:

1 - Turn on your turn signal to signal your intention.
2 - Gradually slow down, which allows those behind you the opportunity to change lanes.
3 - Use your brakes until you're at a speed which allows a safe turn.

Wasn't that easy? Now, if you can't remember, tattoo these instructions on the back of your hand...just don't use the hand that holds the phone stuck in your ear.

Dumbass!

Being the Boss

I walked onto my first construction site in the late summer of 1977. It was some of the toughest work I ever performed and led to years of equally tough work.

As time went on, I became the lead man; then the foreman; then the superintendent and finally: the position I now hold, which is general superintendent of a small construction company. So, what does this mean?

I'm who they turn to when it hits the fan. No matter what happens, I'm responsible and the responsibility requires I deal with everything; including people.

This bring me to the point of my post: Why is the responsibility of boss expected in all aspects of our society, except with our current President? Why is he allowed to escape responsibility for a multitude of serious problems?

We had the problem  of illegal gun purchase sanctioned by the Justice Department, which led to the death of U.S. Border Agent. This was initially Eric Holder's problems, but he didn't handle it. At that time, it was the President's job to fire Holder and make sure it didn't happen again.

We had the terror attack in Benghazi. All evidence led to terrible failures by the State Department, yet Hillary was allowed to skate and her replacement doing nothing to rectify this problem

Now, it's evident government agencies - including top officials - are using their power to harass and terrorize U.S. citizens for their political beliefs. Where does it stop?

If the President doesn't handle these problems with the immediate removal of key individuals (and "key" doesn't mean low level cannon fodder) there are only two things to be assumed from his lack of action: incompetence or collusion. Neither is pleasant to think of. I hope anyone that sat out the last Presidential election has an "ah-ha" moment and realizes they allowed their country to fall into the hands of small people that could care less about their rights, or the United States.

My biggest concern is what can be done. I'm hoping Congress uses their power of impeachment to remove the heads of government agencies that are now out of control. I'm thinking that's the only option left on the table.
