The Crapola Enonomy Hits Johnsonville

Ed Avery certainly not one to ignore a blessing in disguise is back on the blogging saddle, folks. A quick rundown: what with the encroaching economic crisis, I was forced to double my classload during the last year or so, and that along with my divorce proceedings, while still trying to make a decent and sane homelife for the kids (at least a weekend homelife) has kept me pretty much absent from the information highway, much less the blogosphere. But the most recent development has found me out cold on my ass, as an incompetent substitute teacher, being paid the equivalent of minimum wage takes over my beloved pupils and their fragile futures. Well, truth be told, I couldn't stand the brats, and finding myself able to live off of my unemployment (in my new bachelor pad) with the bare necessities (a nightly sixpack of cheapo depression brew--which has made Milwaukee famous), ESPN, and a couch. And a laptop and a fairly decent Internet connection by which I now reach you the faithful reader. Though, really, if there are any readers left, out there, of this pathetic tome, after all this time, you seriously must consider finding help, counselling, a new hobby, yes... a life. On the other hand, rock on, friend!

When It Rains It Snows

That's the motor of the HHR. If anyone can tell me what's wrong with it by looking at the photo I'd be much obliged! Greetings from the tundra! In one of my classes I said, so much for global warming! And this 13 year old schooled me on how it will actually CAUSE the new ice age-- so OK! I stand corrected. Anyway, I'm not currently adding to our emissions, seeing how the HHR is plain not running!

Things are more or less back to normal after the divorce. I still see MY WIFE, as I prefer to call her, often, for the sake of the kids, we say. She continues to not let me forget my indiscretions. She is also giving me a hard time about being an Obama supporter. She says that's a vote AGAINST women. I argue that voting for Hillary is a vote against NON-whites. “SO-SO Tuesday” is coming up in a couple of weeks (as we call it here in Wisconsin-- but at least we vote before Ohio)-- and that is our dilemma. In my opinion, it's the Republicans’ show all around. Well, not the republicans, but the powers-that-be. It's a great plan, getting the liberals to go at each others throats over race and gender, badly wanting to make history, while in the meantime another brainless corporate puppet will glide into the Whitehouse and continue to work for the interest of the largest corporations! I badly want to get these ideas across to my students, but as it is I'll be lucky if they don't ride me outta town on a burning rail. It's all I can do to avoid pimping for Jesus!

Oh... and how's it going with my girlfriend? Please... don't ask.
