I hope your party and day are great.

Many people who may vote in the democratic primary election, if there is one, and the general election in 2016 have no real knowledge of Mrs. Clinton or her accomplishments.  As a public service, I thought I would provide some input regarding her triumphs for consideration.

When Bill Clinton was president, he allowed Hillary to assume authority over a health care reform.  Even after threats and intimidation, she couldn’t even get a vote in a democratic controlled congress.  This fiasco cost the American taxpayers about $13 million in cost for studies, promotion, and other efforts.

Then President Clinton gave Hillary authority over selecting a female attorney general.  Her first two selections were Zoe Baird and Kimba Wood – both were forced to withdraw their names from consideration.  Next she chose Janet Reno – husband Bill described her selection as “my worst mistake.”  Some may not remember that Reno made the decision to gas David Koresh and the Branch Davidian religious sect in Waco, Texas resulting in dozens of deaths of women and children.

Husband Bill allowed Hillary to make recommendations for the head of the Civil Rights Commission.  Lani Guanier was her selection.  When a little probing led to the discovered of Ms. Guanier’s radical views, her name had to be withdrawn from consideration.

Apparently a slow learner, husband Bill allowed Hillary to make some more recommendations.  She chose former law partners Web Hubbel for the Justice Department, Vince Foster for the White House staff, and William Kennedy for the Treasury Department.  Her selections went well: Hubbel went to prison, Foster (presumably) committed suicide, and Kennedy was forced to resign.

Many younger votes will have no knowledge of “Travelgate.”  Hillary wanted to award unfettered travel contracts to Clinton friend Harry Thompson – and the White House Travel Office refused to comply.  She managed to have them reported to the FBI and fired.  This ruined their reputations, cost them their jobs, and caused a thirty-six month investigation. Only one employee, Billy Dale was charged with a crime, and that of the enormous crime of mixing personal and White House funds. A jury acquitted him of any crime in less than two hours

Still not convinced of her ineptness, Hillary was allowed to recommend a close Clinton friend, Craig Livingstone, for the position of Director of White House security. When Livingstone was investigated for the improper access of about 900 FBI files of Clinton enemies (Filegate) and the widespread use of drugs by White House staff, suddenly Hillary and the president denied even knowing Livingstone, and of course, denied knowledge of drug use in the White House.  Following this debacle, the FBI closed its White House Liaison Office after more than thirty years of service to seven presidents.

Next, when women started coming forward with allegations of sexual harassment and rape by Bill Clinton, Hillary was put in charge of the “bimbo eruption” and scandal defense.  Some of her more notable decisions in the debacle was:

• She urged her husband not to settle the Paula Jones lawsuit.  After the Starr investigation they settled with Ms. Jones.
• She refused to release the Whitewater documents, which led to the  appointment of Ken Starr as Special Prosecutor. After $80 million dollars of taxpayer money was spent, Starr’s investigation led to Monica Lewinsky, which led to Bill lying about and later admitting his affairs.
• Hillary’s devious game plan resulted in Bill losing his license to practice law for lying under oath to a grand jury and then his subsequent impeachment by the House of Representatives.
• Hillary avoided indictment for perjury and obstruction of justice during the Starr investigation by repeating, &# 8220; “I do not recall,” “I have no recollection,” and “I don’t know” a total of 56 times while under oath.
• After leaving the White House, Hillary was forced to return an estimated $200,000 in White House furniture, china, and artwork that she had stolen.

What a swell party – ready for another four or eight year of this type low-life mess?

Now we are exposed to: the destruction of possibly incriminating emails while Hillary was Secretary of State and the “pay to play” schemes of the Clinton Foundation – we have no idea what shoe will fall next.  But to her loyal fans – “what difference does it make?”

Electing Hillary Clinton president would be like granting Satan absolution and giving him the keys to heaven!

I was coming home from Santa Fe and decided on lunch in Pecos @ Casa de Hererra when John calls me at tells me that one of our gas hoses was cut and leaking fuel all over the place. Dammit, there goes my lunch plan. I bypass the restaurant and head to the store with the thought of checking the video of the parking lot to try and figure out who did it, but when I got there and saw it I knew it was normal wear and tear of the hose. Someone drove over it one time to many and it split. 15 minutes to fix and the pump was up and running again.

THIS WEEKEND

The Red River Motorcycle Rally happens this weekend. After the shooting in Waco Texas, the rally is a place many are going to avoid. The Waco thing was a gang shooting, according to the Waco police, but it’s suspected that the police were the main aggressors there. Now the rumors are flying. The RRMR is the first and closest biker event with 20,000 bikers expecting to attend. The Banditos are planning on having their officer elections there and they were in Waco too. Nina and I were planning on attending, weather permitting.

A person I know, but don’t like, trust, or enjoy seeing just lost their job. This person WAS a person that I had to interact with in a position I hold that happens to be a volunteer position and if you wonder why I’m being vague, that person is very litigious. This person happens to cause normal people to be very uncomfortable in their presence, but I’ve always been nonplussed in dealing with that person which I think annoyed that person. I hate seeing anyone lose their job in this tough economy, but this person being canned is a very good thing.

Now, many of you may be aware of this termination, but if you need some details, call me. If you are that person, you deserve it. You came at me more than once and the last time was low, but I prevailed. I find it funny that you are gone. What I do will be more fun now that you are gone.

• I went to Lowe’s to exchange something I bought the day before.
• I went to SFH-D to meet the Old Fartz.
• We drove to Ribs in Cedar Crest, a place that’s becoming a place I don’t want to go to for a while. We go there too often.
• I went to visit Catherine at her new place. It’s cute, but it’s still not her. She’s got a lot of work ahead of her to make it home.
• Arriving at home with 220 miles on the odometer and 6 hours of away time from the business. It was a good day.
• My bike’s drink holder arrived yesterday and I’ll install it today. After that I’ll change out the ballast on a dead fluorescent fixture in the store. That’s what I got at Lowe’s.
• Debra decided not to give ML her new pill. I may have to kill them both! Debra for not giving her the pill and ML for being ML. Freaky old bitch is fascinated with trying to tickle my feet as she’s wheeled by me heading for bed. I have to leave my shoes on until she’s gone but last night I forgot.
• Carl, I’m not going to be able to make your party. I was hoping to make it, but it’s not to be.
• Nan’s mother, Perry, passed away last night. She’s been suffering for a while and they had to put her in hospice. There’s not to be a service. Her body will be harvested for her organs to be used in the study of Alzheimers and they will cremate the remains and send them to René to hold for the family. Nice chat with Nan this morning. I miss her.

Peace.

Better three hours too soon than one minute late!

• I have an Old Fartz lunch today. That doesn’t mean I will actually attend, life sometimes gets in the way.
• Cloudy this morning, but it’s supposed to clear up some. As long as it’s not raining when I leave here, I’m riding to SF.
• Nina mentioned last night that ML had another TIA (Transient Ischemic Attack) or a mini stroke yesterday evening. She’s becoming more difficult and she will be in a home soon.
• Nina starts work on that today. Whether it’s temporary or permanent will be up to Nina, but she’s taking a 10 break from ML as a start.
• The Red River Motorcycle Rally starts tomorrow. We’re planning on going on Saturday. They predict that there’ll be 20,000 + bikes there for the weekend. If the chapter organizes a ride there, we may go on Sunday too.
• Amarillo Texas for the last weekend of the month. The Big Texan is the destination and there’s a party that we may attend too. The party is thrown by a Texas HOG Chapter and it just coincides with our ride, so we were invited.
• We’re also planning on stopping at Tripp’s Harley-Davidson on the way to the hotel. We’re staying at the Big Texan’s hotel.

• Went to SF today. Hardware run.
• Dinner with Nina at Harry’s Roadhouse.
• Talked to Dennis, Joe and Catherine via phone.
• ML may be headed to a nursing home soon. It may be respite care for a break for Nina or it may be permanent.
• Either way, it will be nice not to look at her while watching TV. She’s sitting right in my line of sight.
• New meds have kicked the shit outta her, but it was almost mandatory. Threats to the family, trying to get out of bed on her own when she’s supposed to be napping, and just plain inappropriate behavior.
• Rained last night. HARD. For hours. My lot actually faired pretty well, but an early morning drive through the valley showed quite a bit of mud covered roadways.

When devastating hurricanes struck the east coast, even houses of worship were not spared. A local television station interviewed a woman from New York ‘s Harlem area and asked how the loss of churches in the area had affected their lives.

Without hesitation, the woman replied,“I don’t know ’bout all them other peoples, but we ain’t been to Churches in years. We gets our chicken from Popeye’s.” The look on the interviewer’s face was priceless.
