Daily Dose of BS Sept 24


I am 44 years old and still have to sit at the kids table.  This weekend we drove north to East Grand Forks for my Father in Laws 81st birthday, 8 hours in the car each way.  Gas prices suck there too, speed limit is a bit higher in Minnesota than Wisconsin, you can go 70 on the interstate, and in North Dakota you can go 75.  I drive a minivan, don’t feel to cool going 75.  Back to family time, my wife is the youngest of 6 and I am younger than her by 3 years so when I first fell into the family I was much younger than the rest of the group,  I remember rocking out my zubaz and had long hair and earrings.  My things have changed now no hair and no earrings but I still have my 25 year old zubaz.  The birthday party brought out the usual, everyone brings their A game best pot luck food, I bring my appetite and my smarty pants attitude, the sister inlaws were all sitting around talking about 31 bags ( much more fun at the kids table ), I overheard it that conversation and said 31 bags there are only 6 of you.  I guess I no longer wonder why I have to sit at the kids table.

More on Absentee voting

Daily Dose of BS Sept 21


After tomorrow 24 of the 50 states will have absentee ballots available.  Why?  We are 45 days away from November 6th 2012 I can see if we open it up for a week possibly two weeks before an election, and longer if you are in the service overseas, but why do we need 45 days before an election to open the vote?  I am a huge proponent of getting out to vote in fact I have said countless times in my life on the radio and elsewhere if you don’t vote you can't bitch.  (I’ve been called on the carpet for saying that also since this is America and we can bitch just to bitch ya know) but really why open the vote 45 days before an election?  I have been able to make it to my polling place every single time including primaries for at least the last 15 years and have voted in every single general election since I have been 18.  I even cut a trip early as so I could make it home for a primary election.  I am all for making it easy to cast our vote, maybe online voting, but for one how can we assure that there is no voter fraud when it is mailed out and also how can we make it tamperproof when allowing online voting?  What do you think are the best solutions?

Daily Dose of BS Sept 19


In Cranston Rode Island they took away the Father Daughter dance, saying it violates state law because not all kids have a daddy.  The ACLU moved after receiving a letter from a single mom who complained that her daughter was not able to attend the father daughter dance.  HUH?  I can't throw a football but wanted to be the quarterback when in high school cause they got all the girls, I also want to be the boss here at the station cause I wanna be.  Heck since we are at it I want to get the discounts for AARP but am too young, what if I don’t make it to 50?  Grandparent day was a couple of weeks ago and I don’t have any grandparents anymore so I want the whole holiday taken away.  This is about as stupid as people saying that they don’t want Christmas or Easter because they don’t believe.  Why take away something that others believe in and are enjoying.  This would be a great teaching lesson for the mom she could sit her daughter down and use this as an example of how sometimes life is not fair, that things happen in life.  I am guessing that if the mom had any male friends that one of them would take her daughter.  I have been to the YMCA’s father daughter dance and it was a great bonding time for my daughter and I.  Taking away a special night for all these dads and daughters would be devastating, if it is that big of a deal to this mom, make a special day for your own kid and don’t take away the special day for these other children.

Daily Dose of BS Sept 18


Getting a bit scared, not sure what to do.  When I was a kid we were able to drive around for the night on 5 bucks and yesterday we inched closer to the 4 dollar mark for gas.  It moved up to 3.969 yesterday 3.969 wow it is kind of upsetting, the prices surged when the hurricane was hitting the Louisiana area because of the refinery’s down there, and I understand it moving up for situations like that but wouldn’t you think that the prices would then drop?  Don’t we have oil sands in North Dakota and aren’t they able to get gas from there for cheaper than it is than it is importing from other countries?  What can we do as a society to bring the prices down?  Will a change in the White House bring change in the pump?  I really don’t see how it could, because if it were possible don’t you think that every president would try their darndest to get the prices as low as possible, especially since the election is just around the corner?  Since I brought up the president I am already sick of the politics as usual.  Is there such a thing as usual anymore?
