- I had to sit in my cube and keep my headphones on today. All of my brain to mouth filters were off-line, and I need the paycheck.
- Step 1 – Take steroids. Step 2 – Wait 2 hours. Step 3 – Eat all the things!
- When you try to instigate a political argument with me, and I don’t respond one way or another, it either means I don’t care much about the subject or I don’t care much about you. You make the call.
- Today, for the first time in a long time, I craved tobacco. That’s not a good sign.
- Apparently one of my daughter’s teachers is a confessed socialist.
- Well, nobody is perfect.
- I told Girlie Bear that the guy is an idiot, and that she is not to argue with him. Better to let him prove that he’s an idiot all by himself.
- Apparently he’s proud that the house he’s buying is right next to some Section 8 housing. Girlie Bear, who has lived in Section 8 housing with her mother, asked if he had a gun. Tovarisch’ Teacher responded that, yes he did, and a big dog too. So he’s proud of living next to the projects, but recognizes that the poor downtrodden proletariat might just decide that his stuff ought to be their stuff, and he’s not OK with that. I guess it’s only OK if the men with guns and badges take stuff.
- This all started with a conversation about food stamps, and Girlie Bear asserting that her teacher demonstrated that only about 10% of the federal budget goes to such programs. I then demonstrated that 10% of $4 trillion is $400 billion, and that a huge portion of that is spent on people who are perfectly capable of providing for themselves, but choose not to.
- I may or may not have used the term “starve to death in the cold” to describe my solution to that problem.
- Did I mention that my filters were off-line?
- Irish Woman is a bit miffed that I always miss the uncomfortable conversations with the kids.
- Boo said that he was growing up tonight, then said that his chest will be getting big like Mommy’s.
- Irish Woman then had to explain to him that only women get breasts, while men get chest muscles.
- I don’t think he’s buying it, but time should prove her right.
- Tomorrow I simply must have some coffee, for the sake of the children.

DaddyBear’s Den

/ October 15, 2013Daddybear…If I may be so bold as to make a recommendation for Girlybear’s education; Salient to the ‘food stamp’ discussion I *just* finished watching Part 4 of Milton Freidman’s ‘Free to Choose’ series on You tube (episode titled ‘Cradle to Grave’…URL below).
Lord knows how, as a free market libertarian, I made it 40-mumble years without ever hearing him speak, but I’m DEVOURING the series. I’d also recommend his Donahue appearances as well.

/ October 17, 2013I sympathize with you about the steroids. I’ve been getting steroid shots in my ear for a month now (yes, IN my EAR). Even that little bit of steroids is enough to make me not-sleep, ever-hungry, and grumpy all over the place.
