Darkly-overcast this early Monday on California’s north coast as we get ready to finish another month in a rapid-moving new year.
Expect rain late tonight, maybe on into tomorrow, then supposedly a few days of sunshine.
Always good for any Monday is a good laugh to start the grind — this morning it’s a chuckle with caveats. One of those, the humor comes from an asshole-idiot. House Speaker John Boehner yesterday on CNN revealed more than a boner (via PJMedia):
“Listen, I went through a primary my first race for the statehouse, went through a big primary my first race for Congress. You know, when your name looks like ‘Beaner,’ ‘Bonner,’ ‘Boner,’ people aren’t going to vote for you if they can’t say your name,” Boehner said.
“In my first race for Congress, my opponent was Tom Kindness. Now, you try to have a name that looks like ‘Boner’ running against a guy named Kindness. It’s a miracle I won.”
And he cried like an unblushing boner.

Americans are pretty sick of The Boner and his whole Congressional crowd. A poll in January by Gallup showed 76 percent of those surveyed disapproved of Congress, last week, a CBS News poll displayed a six-percent increase in popularity — 70 percent still thought they still suck.
And ain’t nothing much anyone can do about it.
Especially since The Boner and his particular political party control both the House and Senate, except worse shit ahead.
I usually refer to Boehner as ‘The Boner‘ in my posts, can’t grasp the actual sound gasping from the looks of the lettering, and when I hear his name pronounced on TV, the sound is cringe-worthy. Video of The Boner’s CNN thingy and his name spoken out-loud via Mediaite.
