I DVR’ed the Democrat Debate and watched it last evening.

After 83 minutes my brain went kerflooey! at all of the proposed new taxes and risky redistribution schemes of the socialist elite.

Man, does my brain ever hurt!

For plausible deniability,
the ever-lying, Obama-supporting,
conservative-backstabbing
GOP claims they are simply kerflooey,
but in fact they are absolutely evil,
planned complicit, long term systematic traitors
to the values of Truth, Integrity, Freedom,
and the Constitution.

Though he thinks we should, I question: Do we
Treat Barack like the Sun God, King Louis?
With Obamacare falling
And the stock market stalling
His economy’s gone all kerflooey

Good morning from very chilly Pittsburgh. It would be no surprise if a number of car batteries have gone kerflooey this morning in this area.

It warmed up from the 3 degrees when I went outside at the hotel for a smoke early this morning. Winter is definitely here. At least it’s now sunny.

At the top of a cold, windy hill in Crafton. I wish I had more time to actually see the city. Everyone has been very friendly. People talk about southern hospitality, but I have found the people a lot more friendly around here than Charlotte or Orlando.

In the late 80s, it was marketed as “the city with a smile on its face.”

Funny thing is that my one employee’s girlfriend, from nearer thr city, commented that she found the people more friendly out here in Westmoreland county.

I liked the word kerfluffle, which my dad claimed to derive from kerflooey.

It is 56 and overcast here-gloomy but at least not cold-

Hillary’s planned coronation
That she regards as her right
Might just be going kerflooey
As the race she’s in gets tight

For the Roman mob of democrats
It’s about the one who panders-
And no matter how Hillary tries
Those at the trough hear Sanders

Promising the bread and circuses
That can hold that mob in thrall-
Few would work in Bernie’s world
There is no way to pay for it all...
