Im a Realist

Every night while heading home from work I listen to talk radio.  Last week I  was listening to Michael Savage and the callers who contacted his show.  Each time for nearly 45 minutes the caller said the same crap…I love you Michael, you’re great Michael…etc…  So for a man who is supposed to attack the issues and so on, his callers spend more time pumping him up than talking about anything real.  Why should I listen to that crap!  Stop screening your calls jackass and let someone who has something real to say actually speak.

Good Luck traveling in this city anytime of day…if you don’t know your way around, don’t count on the detour signs helping you out…major roadwork everywhere!

So as the story goes, a 1st grader brought a camping tool to school to eat lunch with.  It had a fork, spoon and knife in it.  The official “zero tolerance” rule has sent this 1st grader to reform school for 45 days.  Really?  Yes!  These idiots sent a 6 year old to reform school.  Beyond the obvious that a 6 year old has no business in reform school, the zero tolerance ruling is what has caused my real problem with this situation.  Apparently the powers that be are unable to think for themselves and make rulings on a case by case basis.  So if the administrators can’t think for themselves, how do you expect the children too?

I was talking to a friend who needed some computer advise. I’ve been building and servicing PC for over 10 years. They were concerned with their computer performance.

So I started asking the usual questions: How old is the computer? What brand is it? What operating system is it running? How often do you do the maintainence on it?

These were the answers:

Well, it’s only 6 or 7 years old – Only?
It’s a PC, but why would I need to do any maintainence?

I don’t know?! Try going 6-7 years with out changing oil on your car, then see how well it will perform then.

Why ask a question from an expert if you’re going to pretend that you know the answer anyway.

Wow. Not the Oscar or the Emmy Award, but the Nobel Prize? What did this guy do? This just put Obama on the line with people that actually have achieved something in their life time, something that was beneficial to others. Civil right movement, stopping wars from raging. Nope. Nothing, but lets give it to him anyway. May be it will help to motivate this guy to actually do something that he has promised.

Great idea! (I hope you felt the sarcasm on that one)
