Three Thoughts for Week Ending 06.11

We'll make this quick.

Conservatives use Michigan as their whipping boy, berating it for being such a waste of a state because it was apparently run into the ground by Democrats. It's possibly, but not quite, as true as its contrasting element, Cincinnati... stifled by the short-sightedness and conservative attitudes of its inhabitants. Maybe? Hamilton County's lovely demographic reminds me of Microsoft Windows 2000.

end of thought one

I was thinking the other day... why do senior citizens vote for things they want to see happen? Things they care about? I know this sounds cruel and unusual, but wouldn't it make more sense for those 60+ in age to align their votes with someone... well... younger? How does killing the streetcar and other assorted public transportation projects affect a 75 year-old that rarely, if ever, drives? Just sayin'.

end of thought two

How does Deters have another job? Those conservatives like to tell you how much they love their God, their money, their freedom and in roundabout ways, their bigotry. You can be racist as hell on the radio in Cincinnati... we'll call it a good way to increase ad revenue.

I Saw This The Other Week

Heading home via Spring Grove, I saw this shipment of military surplus goods and had to take a picture.

Who uses tanks anymore? That's so WWII.
