On Obama

“If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State.”

– Joseph Goebbels

Maytag Customer Service Sucks!

Last April 2nd we drove  to the DirectBuy store “over there,’ and bought new Maytag washer & dryer. We were told they would be delivered by May 7th. May 7th comes and goes with no word from the Maytag folks about delivery. SWMBO calls DirectBuy to find out what’s going on. Was told that the delivery date was changed to April 30th then to May 13th then back to May 10. Cool. We can wait a couple more days.

May 10th comes and goes with NO word from Maytag about delivery. SWMBO gets back on the phone today with DirectBuy. They’ll call us back. They do: to tell us that Maytag NO LONGER makes the model washer we ordered and there are none in stock anywhere in the country. What!?! And NO ONE from Maytag thought to call us or DirectBuy and pass this important information along?

I sure hope this washer & dryer (whatever washer & dryer we finally wind up with) lasts a LONG time as I will never buy from Maytag again.  No wonder Google lists Maytag as #16 in appliances!

OTT everything is pretty much SSDD. Computer crashed again. So I installed Vista 64 and am rebuilding and reinstalling everything I usually use. What a major pain in the butt!!

Downloaded the install program for my zune (30 minutes) only to have the program refuse to install unless it was allowed to check for updates. Updates? I just downloaded it. So, when I finally got back online (have to wait for SWMBO to take a break from her work) I started the program only to have it spend 30 minutes downloading the Updates. ??? Why didn’t I get an updated program in the first place, Microsoft? I swear  you guys at Microsoft treat us (users) like a chicken at a frat party!

And I’ve got to reinstall Flight Simulator X later. THAT’s going to be fun! I have to call and register it because I’ve had to reinstall it so many times. Why can’t we reinstall and re-register as many times as we need to without hassle, Microsoft? I paid for the program!

I NEED CABLE INTERNET!

But don’t get me started!

Is Sex Work?

A U.S. Marine Colonel was about to start the morning briefing to his staff. While waiting for the coffee machine to finish its brewing, the colonel decided to pose a question to all assembled.

He explained that his wife had been a bit frisky the night before and he failed to get his usual amount of sound sleep. He posed the question of just how much of sex was “work” and how much of it was “pleasure?”

A Major chimed in with 75-25% in favor of work.

A Captain said it was 50-50%.

A Lieutenant responded with 25-75% in favor of pleasure, depending upon his state of inebriation at the time.

There being no consensus, the colonel turned to the PFC who was in charge of making the coffee. What was HIS opinion?

Without any hesitation, the young PFC responded, “Sir, it has to be 100% pleasure.”

The colonel was surprised and, as you might guess, asked why?

“Well, sir, if there was any work involved, the officers would have me doing it for them.”
