The MSNBC Talking Heads, especially Rachel Madow, seem to have taken their blood pressure medicine and a low dose of Valium tonight as the Democratic National Convention debuts tonight.
~
In a much calmer demeanor from how we saw them last week covering the Republicans, these objective journalists are now telling us like it is... or specifically.... how they want us to believe. They are completely happy and thoroughly transformed as they bask in Leftest rhetoric of the Democrats.
~
But don't take my word for it... you have to see this disengenuous act as it is and form your own opinion. Tune in to these Whackjobs. It only hurts for a while and is worth it to see for yourself.
~
I would suggest that you go to C-Span first, then change the channel to MSNBC. That way, when you feel the vomit start to surge, you can hit the "Last" button, which will automatically switch to C-Span and you will actually see what is happening at the Convention. The urge to spew will subside.
~
Course you'll still be watching these "Progressives" but at least you won't hurl all over the couch.
~
Peeps... I hate to admit it, but it takes all kinds to make the world turn. As much as I want government to get the hell out of the way so that I can take care of myself and my family, there are those who have no freaking idea of how to do it for themselves, and need a helping hand from us in the form of the Government.
~
You just have to guard against the extremists on both sides. And these MSNBC ideologues are a great example of the type you have to guard against.

Debate Without Hate
One of the great things about this great country is that we are able to express our opinions and back our candidates without the fear of physical reprisals.
~
There has never been a forced exchange of power based upon election results here. We debate fiercely, sometimes in bad taste, and sometimes in an irritating fashion. But despite the vigor and rancor, Americans are tolerant of each other, and supportive of the will of the majority.
~
I may not understand the logic of your support for a particular candidate... I may even get annoyed and vocal about your exclaimations and rhetoric... but I ultimately support your right to make a choice.
~
Even if you want a fake Indian to be your Senator.
~
So this season, we will again see the amazing American system of tolerance of others, freedom of speech, and debate without hate.
~
If Obama gets re-elected, we may not understand it, we may not like it, but we will tacitly support it.

Channeling
Harvey Rowe, Lisa Panakio Rowe, and Superpeep Maria Rowen came by for dinner tonight on the deck. Maria brought some incredible crab stuffed mushrooms, and we did our best with the lemon pepper chicken breasts on the grill with some garden salads.
~
I had one or three Dark and Stormies and listened to Harvey's incredible story of his friend, Kim Garbarino's swim across the English Channel this month. Harvey worked the boat politics while Craig Lewin did the in the water coaching as Kim Garabino braved fifty seven degree water to swim the 22 mi. channel in over 13 hours.
~
Harvey's rendition of the effort was spellbinding as Kim completed the feat after wishing to quit after the initial six hours. It was absolutely a mind over matter accomplishment.
~
It was a great trip to London for Harvey and his team and I'm really happy for their success.

Fitting It In
It's Labor Day.... traditional end of Summer. Always a bittersweet holiday, as you look at the summer that slipped away and all of the stuff that you wanted to do... then life's obligations get in the way, and the summer is over.
~
Once again this summer, the fish and lobsters around Salem Sound received a major stay of execution, as my activities drew me away from a vigorous pursuit.
~
But if the truth be known, we soon will be entering into my favorite season of this great New England region... Autumn. It's warm enough to do a ton of stuff outside, and cool enough to be comfortable doing it. The only problem is that business usually gets crazy as we enter the last quarter of the year, as my corporate customers contemplate the boxes that must be checked for bonuses to be awarded.
~
Someday, after I make a business score, I will retire. Then fish will die, boats will be built, books will be written, banjos will be played, and grandkids will get spoiled.
~
Until then, I just have to fit this stuff in.

POTW Week 35
For the third time this summer, you Peeps have come through with the ultimate gesture of class and sophistication.... we have an automatic Peep of the Week selection.
~
This week it was Tommy O who presented me with a bottle of the King of Scotch... 16 year old Lagavulin Single Malt Scotch Whiskey.
~
I really appreciate the gesture since I had just polished off the bottle that Brady Boyle had judiciously submitted at the occasion of asking to marry my daughter. And the bottle that Nathaniel Clarke brought over when he introduced us to Katarina Simundic hardly lasted that evening....
~
So Tommy kept me from the ackward circumstance of not having the King in the liquor cabinet inventory.
ANNOUNCING....
Nanepashemet Peeps of the Week for the 35th Week of 2012.
Tommy O' Shea (Automatic Lagavulin Rule)
Will Nestor
Kyle Raiche
Liz Kelleher
Wayne Webster
Ann Romney
Can you imagine the shame of having to buy a bottle of the King for myself?

Recharge
Amazing how it got to be Friday so fast. New Haven trips always screw up my week, and this trip ended with some beers at the Indigo Bar with the other Mountain of a Man, Bobby Brown..... A huge highlight of the frantic week.
~
I also took my biggest customer and his family out for some quality time on the WhaleEye, and the fantastic sights of Marblehead and Manchester Harbors didn't dissapoint.
~
Plus I stayed up late to watch the Republicans rally at their convention. It's too bad that politics brings out the worst in people.... especially those who start off with a rather low base of credibility to begin with. I'm still amazed about the amount of spin that the national broadcast networks put on the output, rather than let us idiots figure it out for ourselves.
~
Anyway... it's a long weekend, and time to recharge some batteries.

Sham of Journalism
If you want to see what biased journalism is, tune into the Republican National Convention on MSNBC.
~
I actually studied journalism in college and wrote some articles for the Daily Collegian out at UMASS, Amherst. Professor Arthur Musgrave was a Libertarian who basically taught that the truth would eventually win out with a free exchange of ideas by sincere and objective reporting.
~
At the time, with the Vietnam War raging and the Civil Rights Movement thrusting forward, it seemed that the only rational viewpoint was the liberal stance provided by the Democratic Party.
~
Yet, from Professor Musgrave's influence , I never did vote in a Democratic Primary and maintained an unenrolled "Independent" status to this day. In those times, I was firmly aligned with the liberal viewpoint, but if these MSNBC "Journalists" are liberals, then I don't want anything to do with that stance.
~
These people are neurotically obsessed in opposition to the Convention Speeches that they are supposedly "covering".
~
In the convention hall, the Republicans have set up a Debt Clock, showing the current growth in the National Debt. The MSNBC Crew attacked that with a smirk and some kind of chart that sought to prove that the Republicans were responsible for our debt.
~
The Freaking Debt is just that... the Debt. Why would anyone attack a clock that measured it?
~
Then the "Journalists" turned their rancor on the misinterpretation of Obama's "If you have a business, you didn't build that. Somebody else did." quote saying that it had been taken out of context. I listened to that quote over and over and posted it in this Blog.
Sorry, but these talking spinheads can't convince me that Obama didn't leak his misunderstanding of free enterprize. There was no misinterpretation on my part, and they can spin all they want.
~
If you click back and forth between C-Span and MSNBC, you would think there was no convention in place as MSNBC shows no speakers, only talking heads and now Hurricane Issac Coverage, while C-Span is actually showing the speakers. Senator Kelly Ayotte of NH is speaking now while MSNBC is taking the place of the Weather Channel.... literally.
~
Professor Musgrave was at the end of his career when I sat in his class in 1972, and I hope he is still with us. And I wish I could hear his take on this sham of journalism that we are witnessing tonight.

Indonesian Race Card
As expected, the Kerry D' Orio Yoga pants are flying off of the shelves here at Nanepashemet.
~
I put in a call to the Indonesian sweat shop to see if we could step up production a bit.... maybe pay the help an extra $10 bucks a month or something as an incentive... but they were testy as hell.
~
Seems a couple of them are a little pissed at me when they found out that I believed Obama was born in Hawaii rather than being the first Indonesian who became President of the United States.
~
Obviously the Indonesians never watch MSNBC, or they would know that this type of statement is a major league play of the race card..... as despicably racist as you can get. Romney will certainly roast in Republican Hell for his reference to it in Michigan the other day.
~
Peeps.... here's the deal.... It's hard enough for me to get the Indonesians to meet minimum production standards of the Nanepashemet Clothing line at rock bottom third world labor rates.
~
Don't be putting it on me to get them to be politically correct at the same time!!!
~
I may be a Mountain of a Man, but you are pressing the limit.

Amazing POTUS
.png)
~
Some say he is a radical communist looking to dismantly America.
~
I just think that is an amazing story that this guy, who was shuffled back and forth from Indonesia to Hawaii in his youth, gained an Ivy League education but nobody knows his coursework or grades, then spent his poltical formative years among radicals in Chicago.... ended up being elected President of the United States of America.
~
It's true that I get aggravated by his narcissism, and seeming lack of depth and experience, but I continue to be genuinely amazed that this guy is the POTUS.

Family Photo

Hopefully the first of many get togethers.
Dealing from a Top Deck
~
We'll be putting up the railings, adding the stairs and the pool safety gate... and this project will be taking its rightful place as an authentic Nanepashemet Deck.... the pinnacled pedigree of contemporary outdoor deck technology.
~
Course if Tommy and Linda wanted to use it as a heliocopter pad, that would be no problem. It is that freaking solid.
~
Tommy is thrilled and who can blame him??? His legendary Coors Light stocked cooler will be up there in no time.

Kerry's Pants
~
the Kerry D'Orio Yoga Pants.
~
Inspired by 2012 Reigning Peep of the Year, Kerry D' Orio, these pants should only be worn if you are serious about getting your Nanepashmet Mojo on.
~
These are already flying off of the counters in Suite 1-A, so don't take your time in making an order or you could be left out of the most important fashion statement made at the end of this summer.
