This afternoon, my friend, Phil asked me if I'd seen the article about his Parish's Monsignor stepping down from his duties at, St. Vincent de Paul. His church.
Of course I had NOT, since I pay no attention to the religion section of the paper anymore. Except when every Saturday I get pissed off that I have to wade through the bullshit to get to the comics.
He said that the man had had a stroke. And he was having problems reading his homily, and his sermons.
I said to my friend, who is always the Catholic, "Why would a loving, God punish a man who had devoted his entire life to the Lords Church? And why couldn't you just pray away the illness?"
His answer? "Well, I guess it's just his, Cross To Bear."
WTF? Why would a loving, forgiving, merciful, GOD, decide to say to a man who had devoted his entire life to the Church. Who had given faithful counsel to the suffering. Who had counseled and consoled the forlorn and destitute. Who had spent his entire life, in service to the people who believed in that SAME, forgiving, merciful God, at the end of his life, "Geez, thanks for all you did, Father. You were the perfect Priest, and did everything I asked of you. Now, as you reach the end of your life, instead of a blissful retirement, and wonderful old age? I'm going to FUCK YOU UP! You will have no memory, you can't think straight, and you will forget your thoughts from one moment to the next! Thanks for your service. See you in a little while."
How the HELL is THIS right? If you really believe in religion, which is total bullshit, really, how do you explain THIS!
If you really believe in religion, every Priest and Preacher should live a long, and healthy life, right up to the minute God calls them home. They should never, ever, get sick, or suffer.
Phil's answer to this was, "Well, we're told we are all susceptible to the rules of nature. Our bodies get old, we can get sick."
OK. Then you believe in evolution. Which is the basis for EVERYTHING we know about modern medicine. So quit trying to get our public schools to teach creationism like it was the TRUTH! It's bullshit! You can't have it both ways.
Phil's response? "You're going to get a blog out of this, aren't you?" Yep.
Religion is nothing more than superstition. It has no more impact on your life than astrology. If we take a look back on the religions that were dominant in the culture's that actually grew civilization? We have left them all behind.
The current crop will get left behind soon, too.
And something even more nutty will come up.
So it goes.
Believe what you want. I won't pass a law that makes your belief system illegal. As long as you don't pass laws that deny science and truth. Even when they contradict your belief system. Do we have a deal?
Cause if we don't? I'll come after you through the courts. And you will lose.

I've Had Enough!
I have had ENOUGH of the Republican bullshit! Romney lies like a rug, and no one calls him on it.
People too stupid to get into college, let alone finish it, call the current President a foreigner, who doesn't have a legitimate birth certificate.
Gun nuts want the average nut to buy armor piercing ammo, that will kill Cops wearing bullet resistant vests, but groups like, "Meth Cops Utah", SUPPORT the NRA on Facebook?
What the fuck? You WANT the Cop killing bullets while guys like ME are trying to survive bladder cancer we got from being in Meth Labs? What the fuck? You guys are morons! The NRA does NOT have your best interest at heart.
Morons.
The current President is NOT a Muslim. If you believe that? You are a racist moron. He was, in fact, born in THIS country. If you believe otherwise? You are a moron.
Every time you say, "Don't believe the Liberal Media"? You are saying, "Don't believe the truth!". You are a moron.
If you don't have health insurance and you oppose, "Obamacare" or a national health care plan? You are a moron.
If you don't earn $250K or more a year and you vote for Republicans? You are a moron.
I'm tired of morons being in charge.
You think I'm wrong? Good. Defriend me right, fucking, now. I don't want to be friends, either on Facebook, or in REAL life, with anyone as DUMB as YOU are! It's obvious you didn't go to college.
So you are WAY too stupid to hang out with someone like me.
Good bye. I'm way smarter than you. I won't miss you.
I'm SO tired of hearing from idiots.
And yes, I DO have more guns than you. And more ammo. So suck it, Conservatives.

Good News!
I got some good news today. I'm going broke! And I'm glad to hear it. It's a long story.
When we found out in 1995 that Deb was losing her sight, we decided to travel as much as we could. We didn't have any money. But we would take out an equity loan, go on a Cruise or trip, pay it off, go on another one. That was the plan.
When I was able to retire, with Dad leaving me money, we really stepped it up. We traveled A LOT! Any where Deb wanted to go. But we both knew, that when we had to start paying for our own health insurance, THAT was going to come to an end. We have to consider our future, and the travel will be cut way back.
So, since that time, when we learned of her eye sight going, we have been on THREE cruises. Two starting in Puerto Rico, one in Miami. We've seen Puerto Rico, Miami, St. Thomas, Haiti, Barbados, St. Kitts and Nevins, Grenada, Aruba, Cozumel, Jamaica, Mayrou, Martinique, St. Croix, Isla Margarita.
We've been BACK to Grenada and Miami a couple of times. Grenada is awesome.
We've been to Isla Mujeres THREE times, Ambergris Caye, Belize, twice, just to hang out with Jerry Jeff Walker and our new friend, Kelly McGuire who's been to our house twice to do yard concerts.
We've been to Cuba TWICE! This last time with our son. Any of you out there who weren't on the the FIRST KUER Cuba trip know anyone who's been there even ONCE, let alone twice?
Didn't think so.
London. Paris. THREE times! Spent almost two weeks in Greece with friends.
I sent Deb and our daughter, Meagan to Sicily for eight days just so I could stay home and watch college football with my son!
And that's just the out of the country trips.
I've taken the family to Los Angeles, I don't know HOW many times. San Francisco just for fun AND for football several times. Las Vegas? COUNTLESS times.
Phoenix for the Fiesta Bowl. New Orleans for the Sugar Bowl. Deb and I spent a whole week there. Love NOLA!
Since I've retired, I've taken the whole family (Meagan didn't got to Minnesota, she had a summer job that year) to Minneapolis, Washington DC, New York, Boston, Chicago, Miami Beach.
We've spent time in Tucson. And Denver for hockey games and football games.
I've been to Las Vegas so many times, I can't even count. To see my friend, Lisa the comedian, to go see Penn & Teller cause Deb's nephew got married to a southern Nevada girl. And soccer tournaments.
The last soccer tournament? The four tickets for Deb, Danny, Trenton and me to see Penn & Teller? $450. Worth every penny.
But now, my broker has spoken, and I'm SO glad he did! If I told Deb that it was time to quit traveling? She might not have believed me. But when our guy says, "You have to stop spending money like you have been, or you will be broke in 11 years." I hear that, and thank you, thank you, thank you for SAYING that!
So now? I can quit trying to get a really stubborn, cranky, BLIND woman through huge international airports six or eight times a year! And that is NOT a bad thing!
This does NOT mean we have to stop traveling. But we have to stop traveling as much as we have. And when you want to get warm in the winter? Might mean Las Vegas cause we HAVE a time share down there we've already paid for. And NOT Belize EVERY year!
I'm OK with that.
I'm really HAPPY with that. Yeah, we can still travel, but not as much. And we might have to quit going to Europe until I pay off that Camaro and the trip to Cuba. And you know what? That's fine!
Now, I can start living like a normal person. With health insurance, and a pension that pays my bills. Cause my bills don't include several trips to the tropics every year! And I'm OK with that!
Kind of like having a weight lifted off my shoulders.
Anyone wants to come over and visit? I'm pretty sure I'll be here all winter. At least THIS winter.

Saturday Night. And I'm Old. I Don't Go Out
Man, I remember a time in my life when I couldn't imagine NOT going out on a Saturday night. Golden Eagles games, Ute football followed by time in the clubs. The Green Parrot, The Dead Goat, DB Cooper's, The Haggis, we hit them all.
Then I became a Cop. Had to quit going to clubs. Because I kept running into bad guys. So, it was either take a gun and NOT drink, cause you can't drink when you're, "packing" as an off duty Cop. Or not bring a gun, and take my chances. I let all my club cards expire.
Now? I'm perfectly happy to stay home and watch stand up comedy on, Comedy Central, boxing on HBO, college football from September to January. I'm an old fart and perfectly happy to be one.
After all I went through to get here? Happy to still be alive. I still have to have the cancer checks every three months for a few years. Smoking and Meth Labs are not your friends, trust me.
And watching comedy on Comedy Central lead to Deb and I having a friend who's a comedian! I would have never met Lisa Landry if I hadn't been watching TV on a Saturday night in January on 2010!
She's the only person who's ever had her own half hour show on Comedy Central, who also has her phone number in MY cell phone! I think that's pretty cool.
And I still watch, COPS when ever it's on. Yeah, yeah, I know. I LIVED it for 20+ years. But I can't help myself. I KNOW they edit it a lot, but still, I see some shit I would have smacked a Rookie for doing when I was his FTO, every week. Mostly by the veteran COPS.
I bet they have to shoot 500 hours of stuff before they get 30 minutes they can put on TV. After all, law enforcement is long stretches of boredom, punctuated by short bursts of absolute chaos!
Chaos brings the viewers. That and the the shooting and tits. Just saying.

Failed Presidency? How?
I have ONE Republican friend left. And when ever I point out that some of the spew that comes from him, always, via, "Faux News" is wrong, he launches into calling the President, "a p.o.s.", a, "Marxist/Socialist who is driving the country into the ground", and tonight, "a failure".
By what standard it President Obama a failure? Or for that matter, a Marxist, or a Socialist?
His signature legislation, "Obama care" passed. Bin Laden is dead, and GM is still alive. The economic recovery is slower than we want, but it is recovering. And might have done even better, if he hadn't been stopped in everything he's tried to do, by the Republicans in Congress who are determined to keep him from having ANY success at all.
I'm pretty sure that this guy couldn't define a, "Marxist". Well, unless he really studied the history of the LDS Church, and the, "collectives" they tried to establish when they illegally immigrated to Mexico in 1847, while trying to establish, "The Kingdom Of Zion" and fleeing the rule of The United States.
And as for being a, "Socialist"? I know I am. And so are you. Whether you believe it or not. If you get your water, sewer, police and fire protection, garbage pick up, street repair and plowing from your city? You're a Socialist. And you have to admit we live in a democratic, socialist country. To deny it is shear folly.
And this guy, like me, lives in Murray City. We even get our POWER from our city. Imagine that. A publicly owned, power company that doesn't put any money in the pockets of the Koch Brothers, and provides power to the people of the city at the lowest possible rate, because it doesn't have to make a profit for share holders! Communism!
I'm surprised my friend hasn't moved out of Murray in protest.
Every four years, in this country, we have a change in government. It's peaceful. Not a shot is fired. So if you don't like the guy that got elected? Stick around for a while. If he does a bad job, sometimes, we get rid of him. If he does a really, really bad job, like, "Shrub"? Sometimes we screw up, and keep him. But it's only another four years. The country will survive even an idiot like HIM.
I just spent a week in probably the most poorly run country on the planet, Cuba. THEY will tell you they are a shining example of the triumph of, "Socialism". But they are full of shit. They are a Communist country in every way shape and form. I've been to the beach country clubs, seen the Yacht Club on Cenfuigo Bay. I know that the people in charge are very, very comfortable. They drive the Jaguars, and Audi's.
Everyone else is poor, and has to buy their food from a ration book every month.
The Cubans will tell you that the ration book is the reason, "No one goes hungry in Cuba". I will tell you bullshit. Why not take that argument to it's logical extension? Because of the ration book? We have no obesity problem in Cuba! That's bullshit too. There are no fat people there, that part is true. Weight control isn't the problem. Hunger is.
This is what the, "Socialism" the R's want you to believe President Obama is bringing, looks like.
And as much as IS screwed up in Cuba? There is one thing they got right. Their national health care system. Anyone in Cuba can see a doctor any time, for what ever ails them.
Yeah, I can hear the Faux News bullshit now. "They have death panels!" "They have waiting lists!" "You could die before you get treated!" All bullshit. Same arguments are made about Canada and it's just as big a lie about that country as it is about Cuba. You will see just as many Canadians as Cubans in OUR doctors offices. And the Canadians COULD come here if they wanted to. They don't want to.
A lady in our tour group fell one day. Turns out she broke her foot. The tour guide took her to the emergency room. They xray'd her foot, set it, put her in a cast. No charge. The only money she owed was a $10 fee for an English translation of her records to take home to her doctor in this country. See if you can get that kind of care at that price here next time you break something.
Yeah, I know. ER's are required to treat the indigent in this country. And they do. But go to IMC here in Murray, or any other facility operated by IHC and don't pay that bill and see what happens to you. They will sue you for the money. Non profit my ass.
But I digress. Obama is not a commie/socialist/Marxist. He is not a failure. He's not running the country into the ground. Bush did that. Obama is trying to back the country out of the ditch, with a Congress determined to not let him.
So, if you hate this President, you might have to really reexamine the reasons why. Might be because you don't look like him? Cause if you're not really rich, and you still want to vote for Mitt? That might be the reason.

Liar!
Mitt Romney says that Obama wants to cut $716 Billion from Medicare. Liar! The GAO sent a letter to Speaker of the House, "The Smoking Man" that said the savings from OBAMACARE would be $716 BILLION. SAVINGS, not CUTTING! Romney, you are a liar.
Romney said he wouldn't support Paul, "Eddy Munster Looking Motherfucker" Ryan's budget. If so? Why did he pick him as VP?
Romney wants to lower taxes on the rich (and, Liar, they are NOT job creators. Except in China. Trickle Down Economics is total, complete, bullshit) and quit regulating bankers and polluters. He says this will create jobs. Build the economy. LIAR!
The Republican Party has been saying this since 1980. It's been a lie since then, and it's a lie now.
LIAR!
If you work for a living, and especially if you work, underground for the Koch Brothers? You won't keep your job if you vote for Romney. You'll lose your wages. You might have to buy your shit from a Company Store like before Unions. And you won't have health insurance.
The Koch Brothers are LIARS.
If you are a teacher, and you think the Republicans have your best interests at heart, because they, "support" education? You are being duped. They are LIARS!
They want an END to public education. They want to create a permanent underclass of uneducated, dumb people who have no way to better themselves. People who are HAPPY to have a job paying $7 an hour at Walmart.
When they tell you that anyone can be President in this country, and anyone can become a millionaire if they work hard enough? They are a LIAR! You have to be born into the elite to do that.
Obama is the ONE exception in the history of the country. And the elite HATE him for it! He burst their bubble! Uppity Nigger! We'll show him! We'll wear our guns to his speeches!
Racist motherfuckers.
They tell you it's not about him being Black. It's because he's a Muslim, who was born in Africa, and we hate his Christian Minister, and his birth certificate is a fake. LIAR!
You are a racists.
Romney is going to lose 40 states. Cause he's a Mormon, and a racists, and an elitists, and a Moron! Who has no idea what it's like to be a real person in this country.
And, he's a LIAR! Not just once or twice. He's a LIAR every chance he gets.
Don't believe me? Ask him to show us his tax returns for the last ten years.
When he doesn't? And says he's paid his taxes, all that he was supposed to? He's a LIAR.

A Ride In The Mountains
Last night, I decided that since Danny was gone, and Meagan doesn't like to go anywhere, Deb and I should go for a ride in the mountains today. Take, "The Bitchin' Camaro" and just ride up to Park City, or Heber, find a restaurant we haven't been to. Just get out of the valley for a while.
Not a good idea. Bad weekend to do that.
In Parley's Canyon, they were doing construction. So traffic, both up and down, was stopped for at least ten minutes. I don't know if they were blasting or what. But nothing was moving. And then when it did? The assholes with boats and trailers all moved to the fast lane, where they are NOT supposed to be.
By the time we got to the really steep part of the canyon, I was in the fast lane, behind a guy in a Ford Ranger pickup who was going 50 miles an hour. I flashed my lights, I blew my horn, I have to consider him warned.
He finally got over and let me go buy, but the old bastard gave me a craggy, swollen finger as I went past. Hey, jerk! It's not ME that was wrong! Under Utah law, you HAVE to move over! No one made your ass the Speed Limit Sheriff! Get the fuck out of the way!
We decided to go all the way to Heber, as I had heard about a new restaurant I thought I could find on the main drag through town. Bad idea.
The, Tour Of Utah bike race was coming through town. They shuffled us off onto side streets, and no one could move for about a half an hour. Once we could get back onto the main street, we just went to, The Hub (not a bad choice, don't get me wrong. But hardly a NEW place) to get a sandwhich and come home.
On the way back, we stopped to try to see our friends, Ron and Laura in Snyderville. One of their twins answered the door, and told us they were in Salt Lake today. Bad timing all the way around.
Going back down the canyon? Construction again.
So much for a little high speed run up to the mountains and back.
But the good side of this day was yet to come. I went out on the patio with the satellite radio, one of those Cuban contraband cigars I brought home and enjoyed it. So it wasn't all bad.
I think tomorrow? I'm just going to sleep in. Sometimes you can try too hard to have fun.
