I am announcing my bid for office. How do I look? I heard the other day that the last two Democratic Presidents came out of nowhere to win the presidency. Barack Obama and Bill Clinton were relatively unknown compared to the “usual” candidates. You could probably go back to the last three Democratic Presidents and … More Coming Down the Escalator

I’ve never attended a protest before. Never marched in the streets. Never held signs. Never attended a political rally. I went to the “Hands Off” protest/rally yesterday downtown. It was many things. It was inspiring to see and listen to so many passionate people. It was fun to see the creativity in the signs people … More I went to my first protest

And maybe it’s a symptom of being older and more invested/interested in politics now versus when I was younger but I do not remember politics being so loud.
