[Cuba Sex] Man -are you a dirt bag. You want to go to Cuba for sex with young school girls? When I go to Cuba I give away money, medical aid, educational aid and the few times I was approached by women I just tell them no thank you and give them ten bucks. Try being a human being.

I sailed to Cuba years ago (Clinton administration), and hired a prostitute as a translator. She definitely had the best English of anyone around. She taught school during the day and moonlighted at night in order to buy things from the Dollar Stores – like shampoo that washed out of her hair and toilet paper – that were not available in the normal Cuban shops. She was saving up for a toilet seat, so if you go, pack accordingly. 

[“The fading away of the grinder pump issue”] On some points you are right the government knows that if they wait long enough the issue will fade and they will finish the sewers with, what I consider, the worst possible system we can get. It will only take one Wilma or Georges to prove that, in the meantime the taxpayer is screwed as there are to many pumps to jump start and other emergencies to attend to. What stance will the taxpayer have when the sewer is backing up into their home? Why should the homeowners insurance be responsible to make the repairs to the contaminated home, and only up to $5000, when the citizens have spoken against the system. What about those of us who do not have insurance? Can we sue the county commission for damages? No my friends we can not, and here is why: Uncle George is termed out. He is done, he is at the end of his 4 terms, he is the longest sitting commissioner and his district is the last to get sewers. How convenient for him. He has no care or concern for the people he was supposed to serve. Yes he is to serve us, not we to them. He only spoke when it was politically advantageous for him. Now is he back peddling on the grinder pump issue, hence the 9 am meeting for the last hurrah on the sewer decision. Why not, he has nothing to lose. He has sewers and they’ve been in at his house for a few years.

All the commissioners live in sewered districts. Why should they care what we have or have not, they want the issue done with so they can move on to new business. I did not live here for the last election, if I did I would have voted for Sloan. It is the basic apathy of the American people that have caused not only this problem but some many more that concern our great nation. Please do not give up on the sewer issue. Hold our commissioners accountable. Call, email or text, all county commissioners No grinder pumps!

Jury duty is a big inconvenience. I usually throw away the summons, but when I did this year I got a letter from the State judicial system demanding me to do this or that. I wrote them a letter saying I didn’t receive the summons and I’d be glad to serve, just tell me when. That was two months ago. I haven’t heard from them since. I hope I don’t. Yes, I know it’s my duty. I do think it would be fairer if they selected jurors by driver’s licenses instead of voting registration as the do now. Not that many people vote. If you work at Kmart and need a jury of your peers, most of your peers don’t vote. How is that fair? Do they mean Peers as in the English royalty thing or just regular equals? If they select from drivers I wouldn’t get called every year or so.

[Cuba Sex] You don’t have to go to Cuba for sex. Any where you go outside the Prudish States of America you’ll find a thriving sex trade. Many countries have brothels. Sex is only ‘dirty’ in the USA. You don’t go to a country for sex, you go to a country you’ve always want to go to and the sex is there as a bonus. If you want to go to a country for sex go to Thailand. Bangkok is the undisputed sex capital of the world. There is a street – like Amsterdam – in the Nana Entertainment Plaza area where the girls all wearing numbers. You walk down the busy street and they’ll be ten or twelve lovelies in evening gowns standing in front of a place, and at another place the girls will be in sarongs and so forth down the line on both sides of the street. Hundreds of lovelies all beckoning to you.  Inside, the girls all dance above the bars at the same time in various stages of undress, but there is always something left on so you can see their number in case you want to rent them for a little while or longer, or for the whole week. Other bars have hawkers in front with crude signs listing all the novelties their girls can do. Tricks you’ve never imagined. I walked in one bar and got hit in the chest with a chunk of banana. The girl shot it out of her you-know-what. I got a laugh from a hawker bragging about his girls’ tricks when I asked him if any of them could shoot a basketball (I don’t know if double entendres work in Thai). 

This leopard isn’t as sexy as the naked lady ‘couger’ in a tree from yesterday, but I like this one better. They’re both dangerous.

Why are the Rich rich? Because they have the brains to do so or their parents did. How rich you are tells you something or should!

Mosquito Control is basically doing its job, but why can’t they increase their scope to all the bugs and vermin in the Keys. They have the equipment to spread stuff the insects and bad animals will eat to sterilize them, right?

My thanks to D for taking the time to drop a note suggesting further comment on the unemployment rate. D is absolutely correct in his suggestion that the unemployment rate as usually published today is wildly misleading.  I trust you will note that many of mainstream talking heads seem proud as peacocks that the unemployment rate declined last month to under 7%, 6.7% to be precise. It declined even though the number of people with jobs actually plummeted by about 143K.  How can that be? Was there a mass die off of American workers?

No, the number of Americans continue to increase as the number of those with jobs decrease. The most influential factor in the decline in the percentage was the massive increase in the number of persons who have quit even looking for work.

Team Obama’s Bureau of Labor Statistics measures the unemployment percentage using several different methods, they report it as U1 – U6. I urge you to take a look at the BLS chart to be found at Link. That chart will give you an idea how convoluted is the measuring process is. The chart tells us that the U3 for December was 6.7%, a substantial decline from Novembers U/E rate, even though there were far fewer persons with jobs than there were in November.

Obama acolytes are giddy at the insanely misleading news. The only measure that gets any attention is U3.  That percentage does not even take into account workers who have not even bothered to look for work in the past month simply because they believe there are not jobs available. The U6 measurement takes more data into consideration, and it tells us that the unemployment rate is 13.1%

Prior to the Clinton administration those workers who have been “discouraged” more than a year were also counted. But Clinton did away with that metric, so that now those “discouraged” persons are invisible.

There are many economists who believe that the only true measure of our employment is to divide the number of persons with jobs by the actual number of persons who are not retired and are able to work. Those economists tell us that equation will give us the only meaningful look at our unemployment percentage. Those same economists tell us that percentage is currently in excess of 20%.

Part 2)  There is a scandal brewing in Colorado.  It involves Democrat Colorado Senator Mark Udall. It is reported that Udall’s office was incensed at the outrageously high number of health insurance cancellations as a result of Democare  in Colorado as reported by that states Department of Insurance. It is worth noting that Udall is/was an ardent supporter of Obama and Democare. According to Colorado Department of Insurance staffers, Udall’s office tried to pressure them to drastically lower their reported number of  Coloradans who had had their health insurance cancelled as a result of Democare.

Udall is standing for reelection in ’14 and the accusation is that  Udall and his team are working to manipulate the numbers so they don’t look as bad for Obamacare or for him.

Or, maybe Udall or his staff’s inhibitions were blunted by Colorado’s newly legal cannabis.
