We The People are the problem, government is just doing what we elected it to do, which is stupidity!

Ya know this pending government shutdown is par for the course as a golfer might say, and because it's a routine happenstance!

Our American government has a chronic inability to follow its own appropriations process, and because they can't follow their own imposed Bipartisanship agreements.

In fact, in the five "decades" that the current system for budgeting and spending tax dollars has been in place, Government has passed all its required appropriations measures on time only four times, in 50 years!!!

So this is nothing new with the inept people We The People tend to elect to represent us,... probably because We The People are just as inept as our elected officials are,.......... I mean that's what the results of our governmental experiment have proved out,............. it takes one to know one,..... stupid that is!

We The People vote for people closest to our own ignorance, and we don't want anyone smarter than we are so we vote for the positive side of candidates, ignoring anythng negative that might suggest corruption.

So you might say we are represented to the best of our voting ability,......... which is mediocre at best, because we Americans are mediocre at best ourselves any more.

We are like the wealthy kid who has a Grifter dad who makes his money from suspicious nefarious means, and we see things only through rose colored glasses, having a tendency to see everything in a positive light, albeit an unrealistic light ignoring 75% of societies shortcomings.

Which means everything is Normal in America according to our own voting logic.......

Ya see,... in order for things to be different, better then they are, we have to do something different, and better than we have.............. and we aren't doing that,............ haven't for the last 50 years!!!

Another day, another JAXA failure

The bankruptcy filing by Richard Branson’s Virgin Orbit Holdings Inc (VORB.O) has dealt a blow to Japan’s hopes of building a domestic space industry, with plans for a Kyushu-based spaceport designed to attract tourism on hold for lack of funding. https://www.reuters.com/business/aerospace-defense/virgin-orbit-bankruptcy-casts-shadow-over-japans-space-dreams-2023-04-07/ Granted, this news is…

Trump’s Fox News Sunday interview with Chris Wallace shows his ineptness

Trump’s Fox News Sunday interview with Chris Wallace shows his ineptness

Speaking to Fox News’s Chris Wallace in an interview that aired on Sunday, President Donald Trump explained that he didn’t manage to make it across the river to Arlington National Cemetery for a Veterans Day commemoration because “I was extremely busy on calls for the country, we did a lot of calling as you know.”

Had a Democratic president pulled this remarkable snub/gaffe combination,…

Disaster In The White House!

Disaster In The White House!

A troublemaker and a villain, who goes about with a corrupt mouth, who winks maliciously with his eye, signals with his feet and motions with his fingers, who plots evil with deceit in his heart— he always stirs up conflict. Therefore disaster will overtake him in an instant; he will suddenly be destroyed—without remedy. There are six things the LORD hates, seven that are detestable to him:…

Ontario Liberals Continue Healthcare Ineptness

With just a little more seasoning Liberal MPP (Member of Provincial Parliament for my American readers) Deb Matthews should be ready to replace another Liberal and soon-to-be penitentiary resident, Mayor Joe Fontana of London, Ontario. Just about the time that Mayor Joe will exchange pinstripes for prison-stripes, Deb Matthews and Ontario Liberals may be voted out of office. Sure her golden parachute will open at that time and she’ll receive an outrageous and undeserved pension, but she has a boatload of potential in carrying the Liberal torch of ineptness and corruption in her hometown of London.

As the Liberal cabinet member who oversees the Ministry of Health portfolio for Ontario, the Honourable Deb Matthews continues as the Duk Koo Kim to the Boom Boom Mancini of ethical governmental leadership.  There is no shortage of scandal with this government over the past nine years; why even Chicago politicians continue to be amazed as they frequent Queen’s Park for seminars on how to be re-elected while stealing millions of dollars. There is even a rumor that a shrine has been erected to Dalton McGuinty in the backrooms of Chicago City Hall.

The latest Deb Matthews briefing is to express her shock (or as the press calls it, her usual response) to the watered-down chemo drugs that were used in some Ontario hospitals for over a year. She has even gone so far as to appoint an independent third-party to investigate and review procedures, most likely so the recommendations can be ignored (a la The Drummond Report).

With the ORNGE Air Ambulance Scandal, the eHealth Scandal and now chemo that is on par with Peter Popoff’s Snake Oil, Deb Matthews may have disappointed one union too many come election time. Not to worry though, no doubt an endorsement from Joe in Cell-block C will arrive for the next London Mayoral Election

Question from a hopelessly inept tumblr newbie:

How do I get a list of the tags I've used in posts displayed on my blog?

[invokingbees]

Fucking. Ireland.

I usually don't make ranty posts, but fuck it.

Ireland's bureacracy isn't full of red tape, it isn't labyrinthine nor is it offiicous and rigid. Its lazy. It's inept. It's poorly handled.

I applied for Jobseeker's Allowance (money to tide you over while you look for a job) about two months ago and have heard nothing back from them. So, I called the main office and some clearly unimpressed voice tells me to call my local office.

After several tries (keep in mind the line wasn't busy, they simply didn't pick up) I got a woman, who in all fairness was actually helpful (although I heard much shrill laughter in the background), told me I didn't exist on their database.

Well fuck.

The person who talked to me the first time didn't give any of the forms or papers I needed, didn't help me, didn't give me a date to come back - nothing. Even the woman on the phone said this was weird. So, I'm back off their tomorrow to try and sort the fucking thing out and get the papers I need to apply for this fucking Jobseekers. Watch, I'll get it and then have to leave it.

The fucking laziness and ineptness and sheer apathy the people in this country show is amazing. Recently we had a referendum about putting rights for children in our Constitution that involved some vague and controversial matters about adoption of children taken from abusive families. Everywhere you looked, billboards, posters and ads all asked you to vote Yes. But, and this is no exaggeration, there were no 'Vote No' posters anywhere. At all. In fact, the Supreme Fucking Court told the politicians that the campaign was biased and one-sided and to hold off on it. I voted No because the vagueness of the matter itself is where unscrupulous political minds get their power.

They went right ahead and had everyone vote last Saturday andit passed with a resounding Yes. Goes to show how much we know and care.

Voter show out was staggeringly low, because with politics in this country, no one knows a fucking thing, not even the goddamn politicians. They don't tell us anything, not out of secrecy (well, maybe a bit), but out of sheer apathetic laziness and inability to do their damn jobs. And this goes for everything.

I wish I could love my country and be proud, or at least note hate to call myself Irish, but I simply can't. This whole island is inconsequential and insignificant to the world. A culturless wasteland. A dead language spoken only by remote settlements is forced down kids throats in schools, breeding elitism. And nothing is done to help it. Apathy is the prime factor of Irish life. We let the bastard politicians who personally fucked us all over resign - not fire them - RESIGN. With a pension and a cosy little life.

Any concept or view you may have of us, other than the ineffectual fools we are, is wrong and if you come here, you will see it everywhere.

I thank whatever merciful deity gave me the boon not be fully Irish, but at the same time curse its name that I am involved in it at all.

people always ask where you'd want to travel to, but where is the one place you'd absolutely avoid going?

wait this is actually really relevant to my life because last week I kid you not I was bored so I Googled "Top 10 Places You Don't Want to Visit" and yea well from that list my top 2 are:

Ramree Island in Burma, which is home to thousands of man eating crocodiles and yea during World War II, 1000 Japanese soldiers went in and only 20 were not eaten alive. 

the Ilha de Queimada Grande off the coast of Brazil which is rumored to be home to one to five large and poisonous snakes per square meter.

and yea I promise I Googled this last week (ask anyone in my Stats class, it's all I talked about for a day). I don't just know these places off the top of my head.

So, what happened?

We're separated by geography, so I'm having to ask her online. It's just a waiting game at the moment...
