I’ve been Post-it’d

Rainer — Mon, 31 Aug 2009 18:11:22 +0000

I came out to my car yesterday morning and found this. I love my friends. Surprisingly I wasn’t upset, all I could do was laugh. Then I left a trail of post-it’s from my house to my work because I didn’t have time to take them all off.

I-25 Crash

Rainer — Tue, 18 Aug 2009 22:03:45 +0000

We ran on this CRAZY accident last night. My partner and I knew it was going to be bad when we were going down the wrong way on I-25 and did not come across any opposing traffic! (which was bizarre!!!) Apparently a driver of a Jeep Liberty sped out of the RTD bus tunnel on Northbound I-25 going the wrong way and hit about 8 cars until it was finally damaged enough to stop. The driver going the wrong way was pronounced on scene, but fortunately no one else was seriously injured!!. But it closed I-25 for almost 5 hours.

Healthcare Nightmare

Rainer — Mon, 03 Aug 2009 16:22:06 +0000

I’ve been pretty quiet so far regarding the new 1 trillion dollar Healthcare Bill that is being pushed through Congress by a certain few. But the more I hear about it, the more absurd the Bill appears. Why should we trust the same government that bankrupted Medicare, Medicaid, and Social Security with what will equal one seventh of the U.S. economy? And apparently, the public is starting to feel the same way about this Healthcare Bill as well, recently at a town hall meeting in Philadelphia, Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius and Senator Arlen Specter got shouted down by concerned citizens who don’t want the bureaucratic system making a mess of yet another program.

And what’s this about Senators not reading the bills they’re passing? Isn’t that their job? To make informed decisions in the public’s stead? How is that possible when these lawmakers don’t know what they’re voting on? Senator Arlen Specter said that many senators divide these bills up into sections and have their staff read portions, and stated that his reasoning for this was:

We have to make judgments very fast.

I’m sorry but I read books longer than a 1000 pages, and it is possible. Yeah it may not be fun, but that’s why we pay them that handsome salary. That is what scares me the most, our system of government being compromised because people we elect to represent us and our interests are lazy and don’t want to read a bill, and as a result bill get passed that were written by a small group of people that don’t have the country’s best interest at heart.

Some of the people I work with put this video together to help out one of our volunteers for a scholarship program. It’s hilarious!! Got to check it out.

Biden opens his mouth AGAIN

Rainer — Fri, 17 Jul 2009 21:33:39 +0000

Really I think Vice President Joe Biden should just not talk. You know how are parents used to say “if you don’t have anything nice to say, don’t say anything at all”? Well, I think the same principle should be applied to Joe Biden–If you don’t have anything smart to say, stop talking. But I think that is the problem, he likes to talk and hear himself speak and he is making a fool of himself while representing this country. His latest gaffe was at a town hall meeting discussing the new Health Care Plan. In talking about how are country is on the road to bankruptcy he said this:

“Now, people when I say that look at me and say, ‘What are you talking about, Joe? You’re telling me we have to go spend money to keep from going bankrupt?’” Biden said. “The answer is yes, that’s what I’m telling you.”

How does this make any sense?!?!?! Isn’t the definition of bankruptcy when someone is completely out of money and can’t pay their bills. So, if I were to follow this train of thought logically, like most people would, we would conclude that spending more money only gets us closer to bankruptcy. He is a complete idiot! He just needs to do the job Obama selected him for–Look pretty and act like you have the experience necessary to be a top executive of this country!!

I’m Back

Sorry it has been awhile since my last post. I am planning on at least one I know of soon this next week. I have just been so busy with work that I haven’t had time to post. I promise a post is coming shortly.

Cruel and Hilarious

Rainer — Fri, 06 Mar 2009 20:39:08 +0000

I’ve been following American Idol this season, and one of the people that has just stood out for me is Tatiana. And I don’t mean that in a good way. She is neurotic (That laugh seriously scares me!!), self-absorbed, and full of it. But she is so fun to watch, in a cruel sort of way. We see her down on her knees every other shot begging the judges and crying all the time.

Sometimes she has a decent voice, but I think the judges brought her back to the wild card round for another reason–ratings. That’s because in a cruel kind of way people like to see her completely embarrass herself on national television. And just like I predicted she didn’t make it through, but she did bring the drama we were all expecting (like the sudden emergence of this so called accent she hides like Jorge–yeah right).

Goodbye Tatiana–Thank God

Sick Humor

Rainer — Thu, 19 Feb 2009 17:26:46 +0000

Something is wrong with me, I know. But I couldn’t help but laugh when I heard about a bird that has been supposedly extinct for hundreds of years, but had been photographed in a market in Philippines. And shortly after it was photographed it was sold as poultry and eaten!!! I don’t know why its so funny, but I couldn’t stop laughing.

And then what was even funnier was that the World Bird Club of the Philippines (funny in itself) released a statement saying: “that it’s unfortunate that the locals aren’t more conscious of the threatened wildlife around them.”

I can’t stop laughing
