No Such Thing As a Protest Vote:
In which I dare to question a non-voting professor

Kelli Jae Baeli Posted on August 15, 2020 by Kelli Jae BaeliSeptember 20, 2020

I don’t know about you, but I’m tired of being a snowflake. It’s well and truly time for Democrats to stop whining and being precious, and Board the Blue Choo Choo. We have many changes to make, and by now, we should all agree that those changes will never be made with a corrupted party in charge. My skin may not be black, but I know what it’s like to be a minority, and to be punished for it. I’m an Indie author. A disabled veteran. I’m not just a woman, but a gay woman, married to a woman. I’m … Continue reading →

Two 2020 Mantras:
Adapt or die, Vote or die

Kelli Jae Baeli Posted on May 18, 2020 by Kelli Jae BaeliMay 18, 2020

ADAPT OR DIE. That’s the new mantra. Our world has changed, and don’t you believe for a hot minute the fairy tale that things will go back to “normal.” First, they haven’t been “normal” for the last three-plus years. Second, there is no way they ever will, because too much has changed, and there are things that SHOULD CHANGE. This is a flashpoint. A pivotal point in our history. We can take the opportunity now to implement all those things that got bogged down in various sociopolitical quicksands, and create a brighter future for us all. Or we can fuck … Continue reading →

Goldilocks & the BlueWho Dilemma:
A Way to Think About the 2020 Candidates

Kelli Jae Baeli Posted on February 12, 2020 by Kelli Jae BaeliSeptember 11, 2020

It’s obvious we have an unprecedented amount of indecision about who to choose for the Democratic candidate. This undecided #BlueWho thing really matters, and deserves some thoughtful and no-nonsense scrutiny. I believe that most of the undecided voters have the same antecedent. If we can’t know whether we have the Senate, too, we can’t gauge which candidate we can safely vote for, in order to unseat the Orange Little Dicktater. We no longer have the luxury of treating out political candidates like rock stars. We have to get over the idea that they have to be perfect, or check all … Continue reading →

Impeachment & the Fever Dream

Kelli Jae Baeli Posted on April 30, 2019 by Kelli Jae BaeliMay 20, 2019

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 →

Not Hysterical Idiots

Kelli Jae Baeli Posted on October 13, 2018 by Kelli Jae BaeliAugust 15, 2020

I see clearly what is happening; many others SENSE it, even if they can’t find the words to explain it. We are at Critical Mass. Our future depends on our courage and innate goodness.

Trumpocalypse

Kelli Jae Baeli Posted on September 25, 2016 by Kelli Jae BaeliSeptember 10, 2020

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

Kelli Jae Baeli Posted on October 31, 2008 by Kelli Jae BaeliOctober 31, 2008

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.

Kelli Jae Baeli Posted on February 14, 2008 by Kelli Jae BaeliFebruary 14, 2008

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

Kelli Jae Baeli Posted on December 23, 2007 by Kelli Jae BaeliDecember 23, 2007

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 →

Quotes from Kelli Jae Baeli

"Pheromones and catnip. I want women to react to me like that."

Politics Quotes

"People feel removed from sexism. 'I'm not a sexist, but I'm not a feminist.' They think there's this fuzzy middle ground. There's no fuzzy middle ground. You either believe that women are people or you don't. It's that simple." (Joss Whedon)

Just a casual reminder that in 1869 it was decided to have 9 Supreme Court justices because there were 9 Circuit Courts.

Now there are 13 Circuit Courts. What are we waiting for?
