What Bugs You? ~ The Republican Presidential Race Bugs Me!

There are a few things out there that are universally annoying

– like fingernails on a blackboard

~ “It seems to be something intrinsic about that mix of frequencies,” Lichtman says. “The change in volume rapidly – it’s called ‘rough’ in acoustics – most people’s ears don’t like that stimulus.”

or the GOP candidates.

“It’s extremely well-established, when you’re getting lower-quality information coming in, you’re having to work harder to understand and reconstruct it.”

Now I know why the GOP Candidates bug me so much.

While there are plenty of irritants in the world, there aren’t a lot of ways to alleviate that sense of annoyance. Palca points out that they’re part of human life and they’re something that everyone has to deal with from time to time.

But there are some techniques that people can use — distracting yourself if you’re stuck in a long line or something Palca calls “cognitive restructuring.”

“You can tell yourself that that mosquito is just a part of the life flow of the world and I shouldn’t be mad,” he says. “It’s just trying to do what it was genetically programmed to do.”

Basically, though, the bottom line is that you’re stuck, it’s annoying, and that’s part of life.

DONALD TRUMP, MITT ROMNEY, NEWT GINGRICH AND GROUNDHOG DAY

This year, both Groundhog Day and the race for the GOP presidential nomination occur at roughly the same time.

It is an ironic similarity of events: one involves a meaningless ritual in which we look to creatures of little intelligence for prognostication while the other involves a groundhog. After all they have the brain the size of a walnut, so they don’t have much to work with.

Donald Trump will announce today that he is endorsing

Newt Gingrich

or

someone else.

This just in:

Donald Trump endorsed Mitt Romney for President.

He will not mount an independent campaign if Romney is the Republican nominee.

I wonder if there is any special significance to why he chose Groundhog Day?

The media was full of predictions about who Trump would endorse.

The real headline should be:

Who Cares and Does it Really Matter?

Trump and the Tea Party Candidates remind me of another famous Tea Party with the Mad Hatter

The whole thing is “As mad as a hatter”

~ Meaning Completely Mad.

The following poster was made before the official Trump announcement.

I’ll keep it here just in case Trump changes his mind.

The GOP / Republican Silly season continues to be very interesting. This is especially true, since Donald Trump just can’t seem to stay out of the limelight. His endorsement of a losing candidate is very interesting.

They are all NUTS!

The Nut

When you’ve bats in your belfry that flut,
When your comprenez-vous rope is cut,
When there’s nobody home
In the top of your dome –
Then your head’s not a head; it’s a nut.

The American Economy ~ A Puny Perspective

Soon, with the economy so weak, upwardly mobile Americans will not even a ford to live in their cars!

Plain and simple, everyone’s fuming, except the 1%, about the widening gap between the rich and poor!

The Government auto know that they need to increase the taxes of the rich. The profits of Big Companies are too high. Money needs to be distributed better in our society. I am writing this column so that I might be able to help steer politicians in the right direction. Otherwise, they are headed on the highway to hell. I am shocked by how much we have been lead astray by those in power. We have been conditioned to believe that this is an acceptable way to live. Putting pressure on your local politicians and aligning ourselves with those that appreciate the damage that has been done, may help us gain real traction.

I don’t acclaim to be an export on this issue, but gimme a brake! I think it’s my civic duty to report these facts. My mercury is rising and I don’t think we should dodge the problem. There are just too many people who can’t a ford to fill up their car which is a tragedy in America and such a saab story!

We are sadly cadilacking in support for the poor.  Many homeless people have lost their dignity and are a shell of their former selves. I may be clutching at straws but I’m tired of doing nothing. I’m not too sure which direction America is steering but the current way of thinking needs some serious repairs.  We need to take this issue wheely seriously, unlike some politicians who take a blinkered perspective and are just fuel of scrap. Many, like Rick Scott, give an automatic response that the homeless and poor are lazy and it’s their fault. We should work hard in order to help shift their attitudes because, quite frankly, I don’t like their tune. Some recent leislation that helps corporations should just be scrapped or reversed. Lately, many car dwelling people are running on empty, are driven to dispair, have no where to turn, and are just plain exhausted. Their dreams of days down on the beach will have to take a back seat for quite a while because they can’t a ford to drive there.

Big Business and politicians, in their efforts to drive down costs, have their blinkers on and have ignored the long term consequences of such a strategy. The window of opportunity is closing rapidly. We need to put the pedal to the metal and fire on all cylinders to get things rolling. It would be a great disservice to the poor if we didn’t explore all the avenues open to us. If we work together wheel be able to put pressure on politicians and big companies many of whom I’m not a fan of.

We need to gear up for a fight to help those in such tire straights and not allow this cause to stall.

 I hope we can inject more money to help advocacy groups so they can accelerate this one through the courts. Hiring top lawyers may be the key to success and provide a spark of hope. Unfortunately, many of these types of actions get suspended or stalled in the court system.

It’s no use being cranky and continuing to fume about this issue. We need to spring into action inorder to make any kind of dent in this problem! Remember, ‘The Squeaky Wheel Gets the Grease.‘  A good place to start is to form a government panel before our efforts hit the skids. What ever happens, it looks like a bumpy road ahead for the middle class and the poor.

Unfortunately, I carn’t think of what else to write because I have engine block,  so oil leave now…

How to save America.

Politicians and big business need to be less selfish and greedy!

DAVID BECKHAM AND THE US PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION

I wonder who David Beckham will endorse

for the GOP Presidential race?

Newt Gingrich and Natural Disasters

Nobody teaches Icelandic or Hawaiian volcanoes to erupt,
Floods to arise,
Hurricanes to form, 

Nobody teaches how to choose a wife

Nobody understands why

Newt Gingrich is Running for President in 2012

**********************

Natural disasters just happen!!!!!!!!!!

Recently Michele Bachmann commented on marriage and government ( anti gay statement) ~ “I think that marriage is very important. It is the fundamenta­­l unit of our government­­.”

Then Gingrich should be the best option for President…­he’s done it more often than the rest.

Newt Gingrich is a JOKE!

Newt has said some wild and crazy things—

most are deeply offensive,

while some are outright bizarre.

Here’s the most unhinged Newt-ism,

1989-present.
