Aug. 14, 2017 - PPM - Statue of Limitations

This weeks' PET PEEVE MONDAY (PPM) is about the historical statue removal craze that is consuming our country.

This picture made me laugh. 

Seriously, these statues / monuments have been around for years, decades. And just now, someone is triggered and they all most go? Will this solve racism, create jobs, and end terrorism? It's at a minimum a distraction, at worst it divides us even more.

Nancy Pelosi is now pressuring House Speaker Ryan to remove Confederate statues from the US Capitol. She was the Speaker from 2007-2011. Where was she on the issue then? Is she a "reformed racist"?

Maybe we can take all these removed statues and make a great big outdoor Civil War chess set.

I agree with those who say, "Where does it stop?" 

I'm now worried that PETA will remove my giant fiberglass Pig from my yard under the dark of night or during the eclipse.

STOP THE STUPID!!!

Just Saying.

Aug. 7, 2017 - PPM - The Book Thieves

This week's PET PEEVE MONDAY (PPM) is about Hillary Clinton's new book about the 2016 election: "What Happened".

We all know how her last book, "Hard Choices" performed.

Clinton's book sales didn't even cover half of the $14 million advance that Hillary was paid. 

Some could say, that the book publisher, Simon & Schuster, may have actually made a campaign contribution to her.  Either that or they are really bad at selling books.  Which is scary, given they have one job: SELL BOOKS.

Now, Hillary Clinton is writing another book about the 2016 election called: "What Happened".  Who knows how much the advance will be, but critics are already panning the book.  When you are a liberal and have lost the liberal critics, you have no where to go but down.

I can save you time and money.  I don't mean to spoil the ending, but.....

Here is my PEEVE.  These book deals are nothing more than scams to line the pockets of politicians.  BOTH sides do it, yet it goes undressed.  

I know it is a free market, but stockholders of the publishers and Americans for a free and fair democracy should be upset. Or in my case, PEEVED.

Just Saying.
