The girlfriend is a travel agent and has access to discount fares and she has even won free charter plane tickets to Cancun. To celebrate her 40th Birthday we will be taking an almost free trip to the Yucatan Pennisula in Mexico and staying at two seperate all inclusive resorts. Ziplines, swimming with dolphins, climbing pyramids, the whole schmear...
A World Heritage Site!
Yesterday they announced that Adam Ant will be touring America immediatily after we return and I want to do the whole VIP Experience and meet my favorite Performer. I don't think I can swing an international trip and a Chicago Concert that close together. This sucks...
I erase 1/2 of what I type on Facebook. Not kidding. I worry that I might alienate people that will vote for Trump and I will have to live with them afterwards. Then I think, no I don't. Why would you want to associate with THE WILLFULLY IGNORANT, the RACISTS, the ONE ISSUE VOTERS or the GUN NUTS? Life is too short to give horrible people any room in your life...

Donald Trump's Father was a member of the KKK. Donald Trump's Father was arrested at a KKK Rally. Donald Trump's Father was sued successfully for Discrimination against Minorities in his Rental Business.
Donald Trump is supported by the KKK. Donald Trump uses Racist Rhetoric. Donald Trump was sued successfully for Discrimination against Minorities in his Rental Business.
Donald Trump is a Racist.
You can vote for Trump.
You just can't call yourself a Christian if you do...
O'Reilly is an opportunistic asshole that preys on the stupidity of THE WILLFULLY IGNORANT, the hatred of RACISTS and the tunnel vision of THE ONE ISSUE VOTERS. He makes money off of peddling misinformation to the viewers of FAUX News.
When someone starts a conversations with "Well now I'm not a Racist...", it's translation reads "I hate Black People, but I'm just smart enough to know to deny it"
I am so embarrased to watch the Missouri Politicians Attack ads where they vilify applauding our President and brag on their ability to shoot Military Grade Assault Weapons while using "Moderate" like its a cuss word. Monster Trucks and the WWF have shat out a Sinquefield bastard...
Which is worse? That the Republican Party thinks Missourians are simple
minded Racists or that most Missourians are not insulted by this?
As a lifelong Democrat I cannot help but chuckle watching the implosion of the National Republican Party. It's like they go, "Hey let's find the stupidest 4 Republicans we can and ask them who they want us to run for President." You reap what you sow...
When you court Bigots, Racists and the Willfully Ignorant you get Donald Trump as your Presidential Candidate...
The Racists and Willfully Ignorant will always try and make America an ugly place. The good news is that there are not enough Racists and Willfully Ignorant people in America to elect Donald Trump as President. There is a difference between Republicans and Democrats and that is why I am proud to be an American and a Democrat. Democrats are not perfect and I continue to fight against the ignorance in my own party, PeTA for instance. Even with the Democratic Crazies the Republicans will still stand out for their ignorance and hatred. I'd like to say after the election the Racists and Willfully Ignorant will quiet down, but that is not how they operate. They will always shout their ignorance and hatred until they die, that is who they are at their core; ugly, UGLY people. And since that is the base support of the Republican Party, there will not be another Republican in a National Office until they excise their reliance on ignorance and hate...
DONALD TRUMP IS BANKRUPT BOTH MORALLY AND FISCALLY
I honestly believe we are seeing the end of the Republican Party. They destroyed themselves by courting greed, Racism and ignorance. Citizen's United allows the Rich to manipulate the voters and custom pick the candidates who will do as they wish. 20% of the supporters of Donald Trump want to own Black People as slaves. The Willfully Ignorant only care about punishing sinful women and will vote for anyone who support their desire to yell "SLUT" at unmarried women and scream "BASTARD!" into the faces of little children. The Republican Party no longer controls their candidates...
Tiffany and I spent 6 days and 5 nights in NYC (Aug 20th to 25th)! The first four nights we spent at LE PARKER MERIDIEN and the last night at THE PLAZA! Here are my pictures and videos...
We arrived at Lambert Airport early Thursday morning before the TSA's even showed up. Loaded the plane successfully and took off without a hitch. 20 minutes later the pilot announced there was an indicator light that 'indicated' there was no oil in one of the engines so we turned around and landed back at Lambert Airport. 1 hour later (and a truckload of oil) we took off again and of course the delay ruined our planned schedule for our 1st day and messed up our plans for the entire trip. So that is how we ended up seeing all of New York City 'on the fly'. We walked to MACY's to pick up our Travel Coupons (as a Travel Agent Tif got us into the majority of the NYC Attractions cheaply or for FREE!) and then decided what the heck let's go see THE EMPIRE STATE BUILDING. Turns out pretty much every where we wanted to go was within walking distance of LE PARKER MERIDIEN...

We planned to see the Observation Decks at both major NYC skyscrapers we were visiting early in the morning and then back again late at night (after sunset). Stupid American tourists I can take, because at least they can understand directions and commands by Security. Stupid foreign tourists with English as their second language (IF they understood English at all) really tested my progressive Liberalism. By the 6th day I was very proud of myself that I had not committed murder. "David Smith, on the Observation Deck, with the Selfie Stick!"* Not really sure what to do between the two visits to The Empire State Building we decided to visit The HERSHEY STORE (we already had a custom Hershey Bar from Chicago and wanted to add to our collection). So Tif punches in our destination into her GPS and off we go. Dupe De Do, Dupe De Do. 1st Left, Right 2 blocks, Left again then 2nd Right. Come to find out The Hershey Store is in the middle of TIMES SQUARE. How fun! After killing time in Times Square we took the elevator to the pool on top of Le Parker Meridien and took lots of pictures... *from the board game CLUE
TIMES SQUARE!
Skyscrapers!
Our second day in NYC we got up early and met our 9-11 Tour Guide at a restaurant called COSI. He guided us through the NYC Subway System and gave us a guided tour of the 9-11 site and Downtown/Wall Street.
I had a square bagel for breakfast
