Rep. Emanuel Cleaver of Missouri has a suggestion for us who are voicing concerns about unemployment, out of control spending, the health care debackle, Afghanistan and Iraq: “Stop complaining so much”. Really?…Seriously?

“From time to time, we all experience anxiety, frustration, stress, and regret. And often, we respond to these feelings with a criticism or complaining,” Cleaver wrote to his colleagues, seeking co-sponsors. “Regrettably, complaining keeps people stuck on current problems, inhibiting them from thinking constructively to find solutions. Research has also shown that complaining can be harmful to one’s emotional and physical health, relationships and can limit professional career success.”

Now Cleaver wants to waste taxpayers time and money to pass a resolution to set aside the day before Thanksgiving as “Complaint Free Wednesday”.

How about we pass a law that says YOU CAN ONLY SERVE ONE TERM instead.

We finally had some time to spend on our diy potter’s wheel. Between the two of us we had used it maybe a couple hours until the other day. Hands down the hardest thing to learn is centering the clay. Our first attempts we were using clay that was way to hard. After watching lots of videos on YouTube and how easily the clay was manipulated and we’re pushing and pulling and getting nowhere, we figured that out. (Simon Leach is my hero). Here are some examples of how were doing, it’s all low fire earthenware Miller #10 clay. The same clay body we use for our tiles. Overall I’m pretty stoked with our progress after basically spending two afternoon and evenings practicing thus far. We have some bowls that we’ve glaze fired that we’ll take some nice photos of and post, these are just some window light shots in the garage/studio on the drying table.

Get it!

Bend over because here it comes. Sen. Harry Ried (Mr.Burns) is planing on passing the Senate version of the health care refuckyou bill on Saturday night…that’s tomorrow.  He just spent 3 days printing our 2500 pages of lorem ipsum and wants to get it passed before anyone decipher his BS.

It doesn’t matter what country their from or what language the speak, chances are they’re lying bastards.

President of Afghanistan Karzai is just like our Dear Reader. He was elected by using voter fraud and intimidation to force his opponent to drop out. Now he’s promising to clean up Kabul and prosecute corrupt politicians. Bet that doesn’t include himself.

The Sarah Palin cover of this weeks Newsweek is getting lots and lots of coverage on the news regarding whether the photo is appropriate or not. I don’t give a rats ass about the photo. THE PROBLEM IS THE TEXT. Not one person on the news including women seem to have a problem with Newsweeks JayZ style headline.

HOW DO YOU SOLVE A PROBLEM LIKE SARAH?

SHE’S BAD NEWS FOR THE GOP-AND EVERYBODY ELSE, TOO.

To me that cover is inciting violence against Gov. Palin and should be considered a threat to her life. If that cover had a photo of Obama and you replace the names you better believe that the Secret Service and the DOJ would be paying Newsweek a visit. But there’s a better chance of a snowball fight in hell since Newsweek’s editors think Obama is GOD. The controversy over the photo is the distraction because the message is the real danger. Palin haters are a crazy bunch and one my just try to SOLVE their problem. Just another MSM shell game.

My Angi said an incredible thing to me last night.  We were watching Ashley Force on ESPN and a commercial came on with all sorts of patriotic imagery and slogans.  One of them being “Land of the free”…Angi turned to me and said “how can this be the land of the free when you have to pay the government to stay out of jail?”

No shit Nancy, how can it?

I guess that’s part of the fundamental transformation of our country.

As promised here are some photos we took last night after we finished putting sealer on the grout and caulking the tile to the cabinets and counter top.

Angi and I so miss being about to use or 4×5 Sinar to shoot interiors with. These are shot with a Nikon DSLR and that’s why the perspective is off. You can only correct so much in photoshop. We’ll eventually get a digital back for our RZ-67 that can be adapted to work on the Sinar with full perspective control. Anyone have $30 grand laying around???? LOL!

We are super happy with the installation. Originally the client was going to use the contractors tile guy to do the installation. We offered to do it for what they were going to charge her as a thank you for her patience. She is a great client and we took our time installing it as we would of if it were going into our house, and it shows. It was truly a learning experience for us and that knowledge will be put to use on future jobs. We have 3 backup versions of this backsplash that we intend to sell. One is just like this one, we’ll get them put up in the donation tab soon and they will also be on ebay.

Japan’s Emperor Akihito mentions to his wife just how clean their new dog is.

He knows lots of tricks…Bow…Good Boy.

I read over at Politico that Obama is already planning his 2010 State of the Union speech……………WTF?  Is that all this man does is give speeches and spend time planning them?  We’re not even done with 2009 and all he has to his name is the addition of TRILLIONS of dollars to our debt via the stimilus.  None on his other key bills will be signed on his desk this year or possibly ever.  Cap and Trade and his Health Tax Initiative are going to both die in the Senate.

Reading the article his major plans will be to reduce the deficit…Really…Seriously.  That goes against every fiber of his being.  It must be an election year.

I was taking to a friend yesterday who is an Obama supporter about the Health bill.  He’s not as rah rah as he used to be.  He mentioned that the bill would be partially paid for by eliminating all the corruption and fraud in Medicare.  When I asked why don’t they just do that anyway, NOW and save taxpayers $500 million a years?  It was as if a switch was turned on in his head.  I think at that moment he realized just how much of this is BS.
