Down The Garden Path
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
That Distractor In Chief And The Future
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
That Swamp Is Becoming A Moat
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
Of The Good And The Evil
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
A Wabi Sabi Sort Of Democracy
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
Whatever They’re Hiding Will Be Their Destruction
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
Within Right-Wing Fictions Lurks Fear
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
Much Ado About Nothing, Or Is It?
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?
At The Twilight’s Last Gleaming?
Is it time? I don’t know, I don’t, is it? Time to send the dirty dealers, the corrupt, the liars, time to send them all a clear message, that American’s are not just going to roll over and let this guy get away with it? Em? Is it? Not just for him to get away with it, but for those who may come after. But … Continue reading At The Twilight’s Last Gleaming?
When We Practice To Deceive
Been raining here for almost 24 straight hours, pouring rain, not just sprinkley rain, POURING, therefore no walks, but instead hold up here in my nook, reading the bits and bobs and opinions of the pundits on twitter and cable news talking heads, of the “news”, aka the redacted Mueller Report. At a high level, without digging into the meat of it, there are many … Continue reading When We Practice To Deceive
And I Never Said Goodbye
Realization came slowly, like it sometimes does, like it had for him, I found out later. At the front door, on the sidewalk that connects our two apartments, with a frozen puddle in the late winter that hadn’t been cracked, not a footprint did I see – I noticed that first. Working later in the day and taking the bus this winter, I just hadn’t … Continue reading And I Never Said Goodbye
Of A New World David And Goliath?
The year was 1980, and I was 13 years old and my girlfriend and I were in Toronto spending the weekend with her Mom’s bestfriend and his partner. Our mom’s had arranged it, I guess because they wanted us to open our eyes to the world, to open doors, and not limit ourselves, also, and more importantly I know for my mom, to think and … Continue reading Of A New World David And Goliath?
Will A Spectacle Fit For The Roman Coliseum Satisfy Them?
Full disclosure – I actually have to sometimes remind myself of the other things going on in the world, unrelated to politics, such can be the almost obsessive bent I can go on. And besides British mysteries and crime dramas, I dive in to the deep end of politics and pundits on the daily, first thing, java in hand, wiping sleep from my eyes. And, … Continue reading Will A Spectacle Fit For The Roman Coliseum Satisfy Them?
