Seriously? F*** Me (Grinds My Gears Post)

I have been aggravated all week. We spent the whole weekend cleaning our house in an attempt to possibly put it on the market. Part of this time was spent on a ladder replacing trim, on the roof replacing weather stripping, power washing in 38 degree 82 mile an hour wind, and other bullshit activities. My folks were really great and helped us a ton but it would have been much more fun to watch the Pats kick the shit out of Denver? It was a perfect illustration of the Manning/Brady dynamic. Manning throws for a ton of yards, Brady throws for meaningful yards and touchdowns, Brady wins, and then everyone apologizes for Manning and how and why things didn't work out for him. Brady is more valuable and does more with less. In 16 or so years he has had 2 years of sick offensive talent and he nearly went undefeated and set a bunch of records. The rest of the times he takes one good tight end, a bunch of hobos and just wins. I like Manning, no issues with him actually and he is a top 5 all time guy if not top 3. no doubt.

Anyway. How about that A-Rod? Admits to Feds he was taking roids the whole tome? No f*ing way!  I don't believe it! Another asshole that is showing his true colors? Lebron James. He is shooting like shit and blaming everyone else for the team's issues. Last night they lose on a last second shot. First he gets blocked from behind earlier in the game. On the play he shoved the primary defender in what should have been an offensive foul. No matter, Gordon Hayward cruises up from behind and blocks the shot leading Lebron to react as if there was a foul or something egregious. Nope. Later Lebron gets run off a pick and Gordon frees up for a tough long range falling away game winner. Lebron whines that the pick setter tripped him and then blames his teammate for not closing out on the switch to get close enough to defend what was an unblockable shot. Maybe A-Rod and Lebron should hang out in douche town together and complain about how they have gotten a raw deal.

Speaking of a raw deal, Scott Milne probably should have beaten incumbent and not very good governor Peter Shumlin here in Vermont. He actually fell 2095 votes (out of 195K or so) shy and many of those  were poached by the anti-Shumlin Progressive candidate.Milne has never held office, did not have enough money, and had no business being in the race but people are sick of Shumlin's bullshit. All he does is spend money he does not have and work to further his own personal political aspirations all over the country. Get back to VT, scrap that single payer train wreck and balance the budget Shummy. Overall the big loss for the Dems was ugly. Hello pissing matches and gridlock. Think and of Obama's judicial nominations will get approved? Nope. A pointless attempt to repeal "Obamacare" that has no prayer of succeeding and will just waste a ton of time. Yup. I hate politicians. Why can't we just get a reasonable moderate in office? Oh, because the folks like that with half a brain are in the private sector making money.

BTW, King Street deli becoming my new local sandwich go to. Decent sandwiches, good size, reasonable prices, nice people. Good veggie burger at Farmhouse Monday night and a delicious Sip Of Sunshine. Not everything grinds my gears I guess... just most things, like this 45 degree rain going on outside!!!!
