Does art imitate life or life imitate art? One of our children is in color guard and we are DCI fans. Over the past couple of years it has been interesting to see the shift in the types of shows these groups do. Some of the shows involve what appears to be misogynistic tendencies, violence… Continue reading We used to watch out for one another

A Day in the Life of the 99%
This is a mash-up from the past few months. Time to get up for work. We roll out of our nice comfy bed to get ready. Thousands of children in U.S. detention camps are trying to stay warm under inhumane conditions. It doesn’t matter, they aren’t our children. As we shower, Rudy Giuliani is working… Continue reading A Day in the Life of the 99%
Apathy Be Thy Name and Enemy
Where do you think this protest is taking place? New York? Los Angeles? Chicago? Miami? Columbus? Indianapolis? Don’t we wish! This is a protest, just one day out of month’s long protests in Hong Kong. Their government was trying to take rights away from them and they weren’t having any of it. We have an… Continue reading Apathy Be Thy Name and Enemy
MSM, Take a Lesson
It is quite sad when a member of the press, your peer, is excluded or berated for the simple reason he or she did not bow down to Mr. Trump or one of his lackeys. This has happened not once, not twice, not thrice, but at least four times in recent history. They either lost… Continue reading MSM, Take a Lesson
State of the Union Guest Wish List
Democrats seem to finally be standing up to Mr. Trump effectively. It is now time to continue that momentum in exposing Mr. Trump as the fraud he is, and a man with a low level of integrity and morality. I’m not sure how the visitor gallery invites work, but here is my wish list of… Continue reading State of the Union Guest Wish List
The Deplorable Among Us Have Won
Until today, I’ve not used that term really. However, it seems the most appropriate today. The deplorable of today are women who voted for a man who feels okay grabbing a woman by the pussy and a party that believes it should be able to control a woman’s body. It is a FBI director who… Continue reading The Deplorable Among Us Have Won
The United States Constitution Experiment is Failing
https://2vwlfu3ynqxb3npfhm3m8lde-wpengine.netdna-ssl.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/lady-liberty-weeping.jpg Although I have felt our Democracy, our Republic, has been failing for a long time, it has become even more evident as I have been watching the impeachment of President Trump. When the President carte blanched people not to answer lawful subpoenas and Republicans did nothing, we the people did nothing, and the courts… Continue reading The United States Constitution Experiment is Failing
Torn and Conflicted
We were at the movies last night to see Last Christmas (very good by the way). While the movies was playing, we saw a group of teens and their chaperone being asked to leave. Let me start from the beginning. While waiting for the movie to start, a group of young teen girls came in… Continue reading Torn and Conflicted
Are You as Exhausted as I Am?
Thursday night I slept for nine hours straight. That is almost unheard of for me as usually I’m quite fine on about five-and-a-half hours. It is even becoming a regular occurrence of having to take a nap when I get home to make it through the evening. I was and have been exhausted. I’m not… Continue reading Are You as Exhausted as I Am?
This Isn’t Who We Are!
We often hear, “This isn’t who we are!” The truth is, this is who we are, who we are now, and who we have become. The good news is, we have a choice of whether this who we remain. Votes matter. Vote! And vote for Democrats unless this is how you want US to remain.… Continue reading This Isn’t Who We Are!
