Just a couple of things I've been thinking about...

"Spring forward/fall back??!! What kind of liberal nonsense is that? Let the liberals and their lame stream media go back in time an hour like some magical Back To Your Future thingy-dingy...we'll just stay right here in good ol' 2015 at the same bat time, same ol' bat channel as yesterday! Don't retreat- RELOAD!"

~Sarah Palin, speaking to an empty auditorium, one hour before scheduled, about Daylight Savings Time.

I think a really fun drinking game would be watching old episodes of "Holmes Makes It Right" and doing a shot every time his foreman, Damon, calls somebody "buddy". A double shot when Damon calls Mike Holmes (his boss!) "buddy". If you survive the hour without dying from alcohol poisoning, you're my new buddy, buddy!

Full disclosure: I used to work with a guy who called everybody "boss" even though he was technically my boss and others. Once he was lining everybody out and suddenly I realized he was trying to get my attention. You know how it is when, though there are dozens of people about, someone yells "HEY YOU!" and you know they are talking to you? Well, it's not like that. They are usually talking to anyone who will answer to "HEY YOU!" Anyway, the guy says, "Boss, I was talking to you". To wit I replied, "How the fuck would I know that when you CALL EVERYBODY BOSS??!!" This guy didn't have the ego that TV's Damon (above) has, but he just couldn't be bothered to remember and use people's names. I think with Damon it's a power play like that. My guy was just slow... If you've ever been in a conversation with someone, you know you like it when they use your name. Do manners a favor and use their name too, eh buddy?

Ben Carson. I first heard his name 3-4 years ago when a Facebook friend was linking and posting about him. She is a serious tea partier and fired me from her Facebook a few years ago but, her and others like her were on the vanguard of Carson. Then as now, I found it hard to believe that there was a brain surgeon in the Tea Party. Now you might too. The guy is nuttier than squirrel poop. I almost doubt that he was ever an actual brain surgeon. How does a guy get through medical school doubting science? How does a group of people believe that a guy who knows nothing about politics could be a functioning president? Did he operate on their brains? Carson believes the pyramids were built for grain storage. The pyramid builders themselves wrote down why they were built but, I guess ol' Ben knows better than to take something written so long ago as gospel...
