Now just so you know, I haven’t always been political, couple decades ago I was one of those blissful unaware sorts, with little to no knowledge of policies or pundits, parties of left or right, I was completely uninterested. Then, I don’t know, I guess it really started after 9/11, and having had no TV for well over a year, I was not inundated with … Continue reading When Politics Trumps Patriotism
This garden for me is a place for wind to blow through the chimes, for sunshine to dapple the shade, for me to sooth out the wrinkles of now, to learn what grows, and what will not, underneath a Black Walnut Tree. A garden is always a place for repose, to think, to sit and just be, to remember, and sometimes maybe to forget, the … Continue reading Lessons From 6 Springs In A Garden
“People should either be caressed or crushed. If you do them minor damage they will get their revenge; but if you cripple them there is nothing they can do. If you need to injure someone, do it in such a way that you do not have to fear their vengeance.” Niccolo Machiavelli ***** The whole barrage of con jobs, corruption, obstruction, rattlings of war, the … Continue reading Ranting And Raving And The Hitler Hotel
The dusk was falling, the night air mild as it streamed in the window here in my kitchen nook, binging on a new-fangled Holmes, a modern living in New York City Holmes, with a Dr. Watson not at all like any of the others that had come before. Elementary, and so I was feasting on Season One, and very much not paying attention to the … Continue reading What Falls From The Sky
In many ways Trump is akin to his base, as he himself has not had the business acumen, focused primarily on real estate in a time when real estate was tanking. He did not invest in new tech, did not take part in any of the advances that have completely changed how we communicate, how we socialize, how we buy things, and how we travel … Continue reading Down The Garden Path
When historians look back to this time in history, what will they see? In terms of accountability, of precedent, of actions, inaction, what congress did, what they did not, what they should have, as historical vision is always 20/20, and ultimately determining what future presidents may do, say, try, and that is the reason why we should be vigilant and conscious, and concerned of what … Continue reading That Distractor In Chief And The Future
Over the last couple days, weeks since the Mueller Report came out, there is this group, the loyalist camp, this glob of minions who are seen to be shuffling back and forth, on talking points, on opinions, all in order to protect their dear leader. Illuminating that they believe they should have to, but anywho. First the right flank of flakes is all going on … Continue reading That Swamp Is Becoming A Moat
Out in the garden poking around, eyeing my babies, tidying up, well, much as I do, more ‘set dressing’, fiddling really at this time of year, when in thru the hedge row breaks this woman, not of course aware there is a door, but anywho. A few years older than I, and she had just heard about Denis, my next door neighbour; she was an … Continue reading Of The Good And The Evil
My gardening style has benefited from limitations, like Black Walnut trees overhead that both bring shade, as well as toxins, and therefore not everything likes to grow near one. As such, my plant choices outside in my little in between garden are limited, or one could see it that way. I of course don’t, as for me those conditions are exactly right for what I … Continue reading A Wabi Sabi Sort Of Democracy
NEW POST: All kinds of words and talking heads have been read and viewed into the sycophantic GOP, this viral subservience to Trump, almost to a degree that some have even wondered, myself included, are they hiding something? Or, hiding from something? Continue reading Whatever They’re Hiding Will Be Their Destruction
Beginning to think one of whiny pants 2020 campaign strategies is to whip out the most ignorant, conspiracy laden, outrageous things they can, at every turn, made special order direct from the rainbow unicorn world of Oz these guys live in, and just say every single brain-dead thing that comes to mind. You know? Regardless of fact, or its fiction, or how it sounds, or … Continue reading Within Right-Wing Fictions Lurks Fear
NEW POST: However, social media is the one place he shines, and in fact, Forbes reported that Trump is spending almost 1 billion buck-a-roonies on his campaign for re-election in 2020 Continue reading Much Ado About Nothing, Or Is It?
