We’re just murdering people. That’s my opinion. And yes, I know – a great way to start a cheerful little blog post. I actually thought about softening that opinion, maybe tossing a few pillows around it so nobody gets uncomfortable. But I can’t. I’m nowhere near an expert on military strategy or drug enforcement or… … More December 5 – Just Calling It What It Is
I joined Truth Social recently. Yep. It happened. I didn’t go there for the vibes, the discourse, or the memes. I went because an AI video of Trump flying a fighter jet and dropping…poop…on protesters made me question all my life choices. Basically, I didn’t want to fall into the trap of reacting to something … More Thursday – What Are We Even Doing? Take 467
I don’t have Trump Derangement Syndrome. Nope. Not me. I’ve diagnosed myself, and it’s not that. I don’t even have Moron Derangement Syndrome. (Honestly, I can handle moronic behavior – it’s practically a community pastime. I’m a moron at least twice a week.) So what do I have when it comes to President Trump? I … More Tuesday – “Quiet Piggy” and Other Presidential Etiquette Lessons
I’ve been thinking about healthcare a lot over the years, and with the government shutdown continuing, this time because of expiring subsidies of the Affordable Health Care Act (or at least that’s the excuse being used), I figured it’s time to finally write about it. Before that…some comments on the shutdown. I cannot believe that … More Saturday – A Rant on Healthcare (and the Shutdown)
I reached for my glasses this morning and wow… they were filthy. Smudged up, cloudy, just gross. I could barely see through them. It’s funny, I didn’t notice how bad they were until I actually looked through them. That’s how it goes, right? The smudges sneak up on you. One day everything looks fine, and … More Friday – A Few Swipes of a Shirt Tail
Almost every morning I wake up with a song in my head. Not every morning—but most. And I have absolutely no clue where they come from. My dreams? My subconscious? The ghost of Dick Clark? No idea. I do go to sleep listening to either rain noise, music by Sade or Teddy Afro (an Ethiopian … More Thursday – The Wake-Up Playlist You Never Asked For
I want to start off by saying that I am absolutely ignorant in the world of political analysis, which clearly makes me qualified to go on TV and offer opinions (right?). But I guess my amazingly perfect take will be limited to this blog. Oh well… While I was very pleased with most of the … More Wednesday – Ignorance of a Wanna-Be Pundit
Today is Election Day. An exciting day…at least I think so. I’m always touched, inspired, and honestly a little optimistic when I step up to the voting machine. It’s not quite as cool as the old-school setup where you’d pull a curtain shut behind you and flick those retro-looking switches (remember those? You felt like … More Tuesday – Election Day
I’m cheating today. I am sharing an opinion post that I didn’t write but saw shared on Facebook (Thanks to Gaylan for sharing!) It comes from a former West Virginia legislator. I have thought about,and had a lot of discussions about her topic. It is one reason why I write this blog. She puts it … More Friday – Bearing Witness
“What if…” That’s how every episode of Wild Kratts begins. The Kratt Brothers say it with such energy and excitement right before they’re whisked away into the animated world of creatures and adventures. My youngest, Eleni, loves this show. Honestly, I do too. It’s that perfect mix of real-life science and cartoon storytelling, educational, colorful, … More Wednesday – What If…
