A few things on my mind…
1) Senator John Boehner, (R) Minority Leader, said today about the health care plan that our President wants to put forth, He compared it to the DMV (Department of Motor Vehicles) and to the US Postal Service saying if you think those places are bad, then you’ll love government health care.
Well asshole Boehner (pronounced BONER) first of all, DMVs are run by States, not by the FED and second, for 44 cents, the USPS will pick up your written dribble and deliver it to Wyoming by plane. Except as a Senator, you get FREE postage asswipe and besides, you get FREE government health care as a Senator. Good enough for you, good enough for me. Try my health provider now. They aren’t even doctors and yet they tell me what is covered and what isn’t and what isn’t needed. I liked my old health care when I was in my 20s. Excedrin PM and Colt 45. Fucking hypocrite Republicans.
2) We had a storm early this morning. It knocked out power in places and reset some traffic lights. For those asswipes that do pay attention to traffic lights let me refresh your memory. Yellow flashing means proceed with caution, you DO NOT stop and stare at the other cars. Flashing RED means you treat it like a stop sign. You blow through it because, hey, you’re in a hurry.
3) Speaking of asswipes, I know who Captain Smartass is that has been leaving comments on my site, not to add or inform anyone of anything, but to simply take a swipe at me through pure hatred. This person, the Captain, is a she. This is the same person who has called me a union lover left winged lib and Obama supporter yet this person at work does not belong to the union. At my job, you don’t have to belong to the union but the union is still obligated to protect your rights anyway. Well, when her rights are violated, guess where Captain Smartass runs. Yep the union. Many times she has run to the union. This person is the type that will smile at you, say “hello”, and then stick a knife in your back. I know because I used to jokingly call the Race for the Cure the “10k man stomp” (I wasn’t the only one in our station that did this, but I was the one she picked out) and this person ran to management and to the union to get me to stop. What a insensitive prick I was and it wasn’t even me that coined the phrase. . There is much more I know about this person that I could write paragraph after paragraph on but because I am 100% more of a person than she is, I won’t. I’ll be happy to let shit ferment and I can count on a comment from her claiming I am talking out my ass again. But I’m not. I know. Yes, “Randypoo knows.” (ed note: Captain, you can simply add my site to your favorites. That will save you from Googling it and you really need to update from IE7 to 8)
4) The Peoria Castle Lodge, formally called the Radisson, formally called Jumer’s is now going to be called Best Western. What? Really? Yes truly. Here at the PAP offices I got word that within the month a Best Western signs will be going up. This beautiful German motif of a hotel is going to be a place that you take hookers to. Maybe they should put up a wall on the east side and called it West German design. From the old days of the Berlin wall. A German lodge with a Best Western sign. Doesn’t seem right. Well, at least you’ll be able to get a room by the hour.
5) You know some cars come with those glowing red turn signals built in the side mirrors, like a lot of trucks do. I saw a Buick today make a left turn and travel for over 3 miles, through an intersection all with that left turn signal blinking. You would think one would notice within that 3 miles a red flashing arrow in your side view mirror but this guy didn’t. He didn’t have clue. Why? Because he was bent to the right talking on his fucking cell phone! Even a drunk would notice the flashing RED arrow in his mirror sooner than this dickweed did. Simply amazing!
Well, I feel a slight bit better now. Bring it on Captain! You see, it is nice to be pals with a guy how has worked in the cable industry here in Peoria for over 30 years. We fly out to Vegas a few times a year and play cards twice a month. His wife and mine are best of friends and he understands IP addresses. He is a hell of a friend and damn nice guy.

Not all Best Westerns are shitholes. I've stayed at a few really nice properties of theirs over the years. Maybe the 'Jumers' location will be one of the good ones.
1) Repulicans don't have the monopoly on hypocrites!
2)Remember in Illinois you can get a drivers license out of a box of Craker jack
3) Is Captain anyone I would know?
4)I can remember when the Mark twain was a Best Western.... at the time Mayor Grieves had turned operations over to his son and all the female desk clerks were pregnant!!!!
5) Cell phones and automobles don't mix Just like farding while driving or reading or looking at a map while driving. Common sense isn't that common any more!
