THE IDIOT SPEAKETH

I am a middle-aged (40 something) disabled man living in North Texas. I am married, have 2 grown children that have left the nest, and a young son still living at home. Oh yeah, and we have cats! Big fat, lazy, hair shedding beasts that have taken over my home. I am a veteran of the US Air Force and also grew up as a Military Brat. I have lived all over the world and our country and love to travel. I am an avid golfer and enjoy all sports, reading, poker, drawing, hiking, and playing in, and losing my life’s savings in, the Stock Market. I have a warped sense of humor and a very sarcastic nature. I have a childlike, sick, twisted, and weird sense of humor. (I blame my Father) Most of what I write is meant to be tongue-in-cheek, not hurtful. Much of what I write is original fiction, some of it unfortunately, is completely true. You’ll have to figure out which is which. Thanks for stopping by. No animals were harmed in the writing of this blog.

This blog has now evolved into pretty much a political blog ever since the day that Sarah Palin was announced as John McCain’s running mate. After doing some research and coming to the conclusion that she is most unprepared candidate I have seen that could be at the top of our Government, I decided to vent my political frustrations on this blog. I vented, and vented, and vented, and vented until I was blue in the face. Sarah won’t let me go though due to her frequent flubs, gaffes, rambling incoherent interviews, and that shrill voice that makes me wish I could listen to chalkboards being scraped in it’s place. I was a lifelong Republican. I am now a Democrat and proud of it. I do not like the path that our Country has taken over these past years. I live in a very conservative, Republican area of North Texas. This is George Bush country. I am not, and have never been a Bush supporter and never voted for the man for President or Governor. I take great comfort in that knowledge and love to ridicule him. I blog now as a release to let out my frustrations with our Government and it’s so-called “Leaders”. I am a self professed Idiot and do not claim any knowledge of any subjects that require deep thought or too many brain cells. I am not “Joe the Plumber”.

I am like many of you. I worry about my mortgage, my finances, my retirement, my disability payments, my kids education, healthcare, our military members, immigration, taxes, and my hatred for those annoying little pop-up graphics that litter my TV screen.

I post a lot of serious stuff but try to inject a little humor into most of the things I put up. Without laughter, we would all live in a world resembling FOX NEWS……what a scary thought! Thanks for stopping by. Feel free to pass this site onto your friends, family, enemies, or trash bin. Have a great day wherever you are.
