When You Order This...

...then something is really very, very wrong. Now, don't get me wrong- while I was not happy about that bolster having a scrape on it, it was the other thing that wound up making it totally unacceptable, not only to me but to my daughter and to my son-in-law, as a gift for their son, aka: my and my wife's first grandson. Have you figured it out yet. If you have not then you most assuredly either do not get me at all or are not that observant or both.

Possibly The Most Ironic Death of 2016

In August 2016, Reginald Hillard, Jr., a man who reportedly had a fear of flying and who had never before flown, was given the gift of a sightseeing flight by his girlfriend, Briana Davis. He accepted and they both enjoyed the flight despite his fears. That was until the landing. The small Cessna, in which they were be given the tour by a pilot, was hit by a rain storm and crashed into a lake about 1,000 feet before the runway. According to the girlfriend, Hillard kicked open a door on the plane and pushed her out. The plane went down right after that, taking Hillard and the pilot with it both evidently drowning. There is more here.

If having a fear of flying but accepting a gift of a sightseeing flight from your girlfriend and immensely enjoying your first flight ever only to wind up drowning in a plane is not ironic - then irony does not exist. What a tragic end for so young a life and a good man at that.

From Obama, To Obamessiah, To Obummer...

...to Ocryer.

The man-child, known as President Obama, is a disgrace not only to the USA but to the Office of the Presidency. To have said that, had he been able to run a third time,he could have beaten Donald Trump (source), is not only arrogant and divisive but falls completely within the realm of narcissistic self indulging fantasy balderdash. It is of absolutely no real importance to anyone, except himself, in light of the fact that he could not have run again. So why say it at all other than due to sheer self indulgence?

It is time for him to come to grips with reality and to realize he is out, to smoothly transfer power and responsibilities to the incoming president with the dignity of the Office of the President of the United States of America, to then likely go down on the record as the worst American president ever (yes even worse than Nixon, Johnson, Carter, FDR or Wilson) and to fade into the shadows of history. Even though he will be forced to cede the presidency soon, he steadfastly refuses to do so with dignity as he continues to show himself to be an obnoxious self centered childish egomaniac.

I am almost willing to bet that he will make at least one stunningly outlandish major attempt at presidential pomposity to show himself - to himself - as the All Powerful Oz. I would not put it past him, should the thought occur to him (or to one of his flunkies) and if it were in anyway doable, that he would try to make his final mark as president by doing something as outlandish and anti-American as pardoning every illegal alien within our borders. What final and worse slap could he give to the face of America, and its incoming president elect, other than that? Well, maybe a coup attempt but I doubt has the balls for the latter. Simply put, he is a disgrace.

I believe that for the first time in my life, I can truly say, I loathe a child man who is our president. I will rejoice on the day he is out of office, not so much that we will have a new president but more so because this one will be gone.

All the best,
