YESTERDAY AND AGAIN, TODAY

Yesterday was really a wild day for news and probably it will be the same today. I think -- or at least I profoundly hope -- that the biggest group of crazies has blown their cover and won't be able to build the kind of resources they need to be as destructive as they would … Continue reading YESTERDAY AND AGAIN, TODAY

SHARING MY WORLD, SUCH AS IT IS – Marilyn Armstrong

Share Your World 1-8-2020 QUESTIONS: Is ‘hello” enough for you these days?  (credit to Rory – https://aguycalledbloke.blog/2019/12/29/is-hello-enough-for-you-these-days/ ) I'm not actually sure what this means. I think I'm missing something. Let me put it another way: why wouldn't "hello" be enough? Is there some cooler way to greet someone that I don't know about? Should I text … Continue reading SHARING MY WORLD, SUCH AS IT IS – Marilyn Armstrong

CROSSROADS AND CONTRACTS – Marilyn Armstrong

It was a cold night. Not just wintry cold, but a deep, damp, clammy cold that climbed into your joints and made everything hurt. A light fog covered the ground yet it shed no light. If you squinted, you could see two hulking bodies approaching the junction, each coming down a different path.  No need … Continue reading CROSSROADS AND CONTRACTS – Marilyn Armstrong

EXPELIO TRUMPUS! – BY ELLIN CURLEY

David Brooks wrote an editorial in the June 2, 2017 New York Times called “The Axis Of Selfishness.” I just reread it. It really helps you understand where Trump is coming from. It makes his attitudes and actions a bit more comprehensible. Brooks posits that Trump has a very dark view of humanity and the … Continue reading EXPELIO TRUMPUS! – BY ELLIN CURLEY

ENROLL TRUMP FOR TREASON – A STUNNING COMMENTARY BY RICH WILSON

I think I'm pretty good with words, but compared to this guy, I'm a first-grader writing with blunt crayons. In this piece titled: Donald Trump Cracks the Seal on Talk of Treason Written -- or should I say composed -- by conservative author Rich Wilson, the words flow like music. This is a symphony of … Continue reading ENROLL TRUMP FOR TREASON – A STUNNING COMMENTARY BY RICH WILSON

TENTERHOOKS? IT’S SO MUCH WORSE THAN THAT!

Tenterhooks, those hooks that hold fabric over the "tent" during manufacture? Not what's on my mind. I'm much more worried about what is going on with my country and it is scaring me half to death. Not just scary, though. Horribly depressing. Now that I've said that, I'm going to make an effort to return … Continue reading TENTERHOOKS? IT’S SO MUCH WORSE THAN THAT!

A DEAL IS A DEAL

This morning, after last night's midnight signing of a law to abandon Americans to the tragedy of poverty with no recourse to government, I realized that there can be but one reason this has happened. The Republican party and nearly all its members have signed contracts with the Devil. Real contracts. Signed at the crossroads … Continue reading A DEAL IS A DEAL

COGNITIVE DISSONANCE AND NAZIS, REDUX – BY TOM CURLEY

I’m writing this on Saturday August 12, 2017. I only mention this because I’ve noticed that many of the blogs I’ve written since November 8th 2016 about the  “Orange Fuehrer” (yup, I’m going there) which I thought were specific to that week or day, have become “evergreen”. By that I mean if it's re-posted  six … Continue reading COGNITIVE DISSONANCE AND NAZIS, REDUX – BY TOM CURLEY

THE MORAL SHAMBLES THAT IS OUR PRESIDENT – JOHN SCALZI (REBLOG)

You should read the original of this post including the comments, many of which are worth pondering. Denouncing Nazis and the KKK and violent white supremacists by those names should not be a difficult thing for a president to do, particularly when those groups are the instigators and proximate cause of violence in an American city, and … Continue reading THE MORAL SHAMBLES THAT IS OUR PRESIDENT – JOHN SCALZI (REBLOG)
