Ramblings of an Old Guy: What an idiot

The Old Guy's National Anthem ... AKA what a long, strange trip it's been

Truckin' got my chips cashed in. Keep truckin', like the do-dah man Together, more or less in line, just keep truckin' on. Arrows of neon and flashing marquees out on Main Street. Chicago, New York, Detroit and it's all on the same street. Your typical city involved in a typical daydream Hang it up and see what tomorrow brings. Dallas, got a soft machine; Houston, too close to New Orleans; New York's got the ways and means; but just won't let you be, oh no. Most of the cast that you meet on the streets speak of true love, Most of the time they're sittin' and cryin' at home. One of these days they know they better get goin' Out of the door and down on the streets all alone. Truckin', like the do-dah man. Once told me "You've got to play your hand" Sometimes your cards ain't worth a dime, if you don't lay'em down, Sometimes the light's all shinin' on me; Other times I can barely see. Lately it occurs to me What a long, strange trip it's been. What in the world ever became of sweet Jane? She lost her sparkle, you know she isn't the same Livin' on reds, vitamin C, and cocaine, All a friend can say is "Ain't it a shame?" Truckin', up to Buffalo. Been thinkin', you got to mellow slow Takes time, you pick a place to go, and just keep truckin' on. Sittin' and starin' out of the hotel window. Got a tip they're gonna kick the door in again I'd like to get some sleep before I travel, But if you got a warrant, I guess you're gonna come in. Busted, down on Bourbon Street, Set up, like a bowlin' pin. Knocked down, it get's to wearin' thin. They just won't let you be, oh no. You're sick of hangin' around and you'd like to travel; Get tired of travelin' and you want to settle down. I guess they can't revoke your soul for tryin', Get out of the door and light out and look all around. Sometimes the light's all shinin' on me; Other times I can barely see. Lately it occurs to me What a long, strange trip it's been. Truckin', I'm a goin' home. Whoa whoa baby, back where I belong, Back home, sit down and patch my bones, and get back truckin' on. Hey now get back truckin' home

What an idiot

Click the title and read this article. This man chose to keep his dog over having homeowner insurance. Why should the state be obligated to help him? He didn't loose his insurance because he's unemployed, he never got insurance because he wanted a dog instead. Good plan Bud. It may sound calloused but that's life. If you're that stupid ... deal with it and don't ask for taxpayer money. This guy is receiving Red Cross assistance, great. The Red Cross will help anybody without regard for race, color, religion etc but it should make a policy change when it comes to people like this and tell this guy to sleep in the bed he made. (Maybe he can share a room with the guy in my 10/17/09 post, they seem to have similar mental capacity).
As a side note ... since when does owning a pit bull automatically disqualify you from getting insurance? I can't believe that every pitbull owner in WV has no homeowners insurance. I wonder what this guy's not telling us? There's guaranteed to be more to this story.
Another case for the redneck mentality of some people. Hell, we can't even make a comment like "typical WV hillbilly", this mentality is everywhere these days.
