just to catch you off guard...

Here I am on a Tuesday.. wow, up a day, let's see if i can make this a trend.
So this morning I was listening to the Howard Stern show, as i do every morning on my way to work. It really wakes me up and most of the time, gives me a great laugh on my way to the daily grind. There have been a few times that i have been crying from laughing that i have to pull over and let it pass before it is safe for me to operate a moving vehicle again. This morning was like that. So, Artie Lang (artie-lang.com) was talking about his most recent trip to Afghanistan to do some stand up comedy and cheer up the troops, little USO mission. They were all telling stories about Artie having to take Ambien and Valium to get to sleep while he was over there, and said he orders food in his sleep, and waking up abruptly and his arms flailing about like he was having a seizure. so funny. I can totally picture it.. OK so i guess you have to hear it for yourself. Great radio..
But i guess the XM and Sirius merger has been approved. As a Sirius subscriber, I have no idea what that is going to mean for me. All I have to say is don't take my Howard away... at least not until he is ready to retire( he says in three years)... Maybe i will give up paying for radio at that time, but for now, i am stuck on Howard.. (mainly for Artie)...

Tuesday, it's going to be another hot one, with temps in the upper 90s for the 16th day straight. I guess in Colorado, the record is 18 days in the 90s and we are going to be beating that this week. Thursday and Friday temps are supposed to be in the 100's. OUCH and super OUCH!!!

OK, Now i have some political observations that i need to get off my chest. If you know already that you don't like my political views, maybe it's best if you stop here.
(1) ok, so a while ago, Obama said that he thought there needed to be a time table for our removal from Iraq. The republicans went NUTS. Slamming him on every TV outlet saying that it was too soon, he didn't know what he was talking about and that it was a bad idea to set a time limit. THEN a few weeks ago, the Iraqi government came out saying that THEY wanted a time table from the Americans as to when they will be OUT of their country. And the Bush Administration said, "OH, ok, we can tell you that.. no problem, I had it planned the whole time", great idea"
that boils by blood.
Ok, so here's the next one
(2) Obama, a while ago, maybe even before the debacle with Hillary was over, said that he thought it was a great idea for us to sit down with Iran and just talk, as humans, with out threats and pointing fingers and ultimatums. Bush, McCain and all the other old cronies said, "oh no, you are as crazy as they are.. That will never work. If we back down they will attack immediatly." Well i like how they tried to keep it quiet that we have moved our Carriers out of the gulf. This is the first time since the Mid 90's that these people have woken up without the threat on bombs going off on them. I mean it has to be weird with a gun pointed at you all the time. But i digress...
So, Bush has moved the carriers, Brian Williams was broadcasting live from Taron yesterday. The president (can't spell it, wont even try) was saying that if you treat us with respect we will return the act. and maybe we are starting to learn...
even if it is from the other side...

So, my thoughts are that Bush is tyring to squash every idea Obama has and then can turn around saying you wanted change, here, I am changing it for you, vote the old man in...
Sorry, I am still on the Obama boat...
end of rant.. see you next time..
