OUR MOMENT – Marilyn Armstrong

FOWC with Fandango — Moment This is a moment. Well, really, the last year and a half (is it longer? shorter? interminable?) has been a "moment." For me, it has been a long and painful moment of realization. This catastrophe in which we have been engulfed didn't just "sort of show up" in 2016. It … Continue reading OUR MOMENT – Marilyn Armstrong

THIS WEEK IN TRUMPLANDIA: July 21 – 28, 2018

A good summary of This Week In Trumplandia. I know it’s hard to keep track of everything and to be fair, I no longer try, so it’s useful to get a good summary of the madness surrounding us.

Welcome to Trumplandia, a place where with a bit of wit and snark, we keep the world caught up on all of the tasty Nuggets-O-Trump you may have heard about but were too busy to care. Because most of this minutia occurs just below the massive headlines about the POTUS, it’s in a land of its own. Here, an infusion of social media, video clips and print media meld with our outdated political views to make more delicious “Fake News” about our Commander-in-Chief.

The last time she trimmed it was the end of January 2016. In between, I snipped a little off … Continue reading BUT MY HAIR LOOKS GREAT! – Marilyn Armstrong

EVERYONE IS A LIAR EXCEPT DONALD TRUMP – Garry Armstrong

“The media always lies,” she said and I cringed. Then, I got angry. Why do people believe a president who has never told the truth about anything while failing to believe the fact-based truth? I’m not talking about “ultimate” truth or the meaning of life or faith. I’m talking about things that can be proven … Continue reading EVERYONE IS A LIAR EXCEPT DONALD TRUMP – Garry Armstrong

QUIETYLY, DOGS AT HOME – Marilyn Armstrong

Quietly At Home Just because. My dogs are looking good. All freshly groomed and smelling rather better than they normally do. With all the mud and gunk outside, it won't last, but I grabbed a few shots while I could. I could not send the smell. If Mr. Gibbs were a flower, I could link … Continue reading QUIETYLY, DOGS AT HOME – Marilyn Armstrong
