Impeachment & the Fever Dream

Posted on by

Every day, now, I fight the urge to flee to wilderness, and hide until all this is over, one way or another. Election night, 2016, was devastating. It was like that carnival ride where you spin around and the floor drops out from under you. Since then, I’ve developed all sorts of health issues, including a depression I couldn’t shake. I finally had to take medication for that. Since the election, I’ve developed an interest in survival skills, in keeping a go-bag and emergency supplies “just in case.” Now, I’m not a full-fledged prepper, but I am a survivor, and … Continue reading →

Trumpocalypse

Posted on by

Posted this last month on Facebook, and it’s still true, and bears posting again. I’m having trouble sleeping. Here’s why. I need to say this. And I need you all to hear it and share it. People. Please educate yourselves. Please. This election is no longer about politics. No longer about left and right or republican or democrat. It’s about the people. The people who are running for the highest office in the land and the people who will be voting for them. If Trump is elected, you will no longer have to worry about the economy or equality or … Continue reading →

Early Voting for Idiots & the Insane

Posted on by

I took advantage of early voting today. As soon as i joined the already long line, I became starkly aware that I reside in a retirement village, because the only person in the line younger than me was drooling on a teething ring. There was a confusing amendment about allowing idiots to vote. Proposed Constitutional Amendment No. 1 NOTICE TO THE PUBLICPursuant to Article 19, Section 22, of the Arkansas Constitution, the 86th General Assembly refers the following constitutional amendment to a vote of the people on November 4, 2008. Each elector upon voting his/her ballot shall vote for or … Continue reading →

Maybe, Just Maybe I was Wrong.

In several previous posts, I expressed my doubt that Hillary would be elected. Apparently, I might soon be dining on fricasseed crow. My opinion was based on my underlying frustration and contention that the American voting public couldn’t possibly be open minded enough to put a woman in the White House…now, I’m not so sure. And there is some indication that Obama could win. A black man whose first and middle names are awfully close to a certain Iraqi dictator and a terrorist….that alone, shocks me….could it be that people are seeing the real issues, now? Is it possible that … Continue reading →

Hillary, and Hoping for Drastic

Posted on by

I’ve been riding around on my angst-wagon about this for so long. I think that neither Hillary nor Obama will be elected as president, even if one of them gains the nomination. The only exception is if new voters tip the scales, and/or the Republican candidate screws up royally and/or the Democrat candidate does a splendid job of convincing voters. Barring those events, we are essentially giving away our chances of having a Democratic president in 2008. Hillary knows this, and I think this can be her one fatal mistake (unless she knows something we don’t know–which is likely). She’s … Continue reading →
