holy crap!

I’ve been seeing this floating around the internet in the last few days. I actually was part of an email string that consisted of people whose email addresses I didn’t recognize at all, so I deleted them into the spam folder. And then I saw the link to this at Drunkcyclist and HOLY CRAP! It’s about time somebody on television said something like this. The emperor has no clothes, people…it’s been time for us to stand up now for a while, but I guess at least Capt Dipshit is on his way out anyway.

I remember back in the early 90s there was a grassroots movement where people were adopting the slogan “Vote the Bums Out”. The idea was that politicians should be allowed one term and one term only. Presidents, senators, representatives, hell even mayors….pretty much anybody who can be voted into an office should be allowed only one term. The reason being that even if we did get another W in office somewhere, they’d only get the one term, 4 years, to screw it all up and then somebody else would jump in. Seems to me that that might be an effective method of damage control and maybe people might actually focus on the real problems instead of letting the office in question go to their heads.  I don’t know…  It couldn’t be any worse than what we already have.

Here’s that link again. If you have 12 minutes, watch this, cuz Olbermann lets W have it!

With Dave on his way back (maybe he’s already here…) from Manila and it being the amazingly sunny day that it is…I rode to The Red Door to pick up our race packets. I’m getting totally excited for this, cuz it’s going to be a blast. Each checkpoint is going to have a different obstacle course, with huge big wheels (that’s the kid’s trike we remember from our youths with the plastic wheels…not a huge bike with BIG WHEELS) and bike jousting being just a couple events to look out for.

Dave just sent me a txt msg, so he’s in town and we’re going to ride to the event at like 7:30 or something. OUCH….why did I enter a race that takes place before noon?!
