Playing For The Cheap Seats, And Other Skulduggery
You know, I’m old enough to remember when the president of the United States didn’t act like a friggin mob boss. Continue reading Playing For The Cheap Seats, And Other Skulduggery

Does Trump Want To Be Impeached For the Production Value?
If you’ve ever been used, then you are familiar with that feeling, that sense of something off. Some of us have ignored it, unfortunately. Others have utilized that gut feeling to their advantage, sidestepping being duped. I’ve had the experience of both, and while I can not, will not say I am infallible, I have honed that muscle. Well, lately I’ve had that same feeling, … Continue reading Does Trump Want To Be Impeached For the Production Value?
Just So Ya Know
Back in the fall of 2012 in those first days after Tim had died, in those last days living in that land of Grey (county), just Irish and I, this blog actually kept me sane. Over the long winter months waiting for when my brother-in-law was coming to get me and take me back home, I created, I looked around, I held space, consciously allowing … Continue reading Just So Ya Know
A Greedy Immoral Leader Is Not OK
One of the lessons I’ve learned over the last couple years watching everything unfold down yonder south of the 49th is that when this particular administration has a win and then quickly shifts (almost took the F out) the narrative, you always gotta look around at what exactly it is they don’t want you to look too closely at; least he is consistent. The Mueller … Continue reading A Greedy Immoral Leader Is Not OK
We Believe What We Have To Believe To Maintain The Illusion, No Collusion
In the beginning, during the campaign, the voters who favoured Trump were said to be attracted to him because he said it like it is, was outside the Washington BS they had come to know and loath, and of course Democrats could not be trusted anyways – the GOP has spent almost 2 decades fostering that hatred and fear. They, as in the minions, the … Continue reading We Believe What We Have To Believe To Maintain The Illusion, No Collusion
A Penny For The Old Guy
When I’m old and gray and lounging by the fire I will think back on that day, of things the man said, and couldn’t say, {maybe} and will it be a turning point? Well, course I hope I have much better things to look back on, but I do believe that testimony had a bunch of threads that once pulled have a great potential to … Continue reading A Penny For The Old Guy
…And We Come Round Right
… that day at the door, before Trump, before, I looked down yonder to the country of my birth with a mix of pride and confusion at their complexities, the Jazz notes, its blues, its history, its news, its radical views. Along pockets of rabid racism, travelling down i95, through Pennsylvania, passed Washington D.C., onto Maryland, and cross the Mason-Dixon lin Continue reading …And We Come Round Right
Another Day Another Post
“I climb fences when i got fences to climb.” ― John Steinbeck, The Grapes of Wrath Steinbeck dove headfirst into the injustices of the world, who did not shy away from the gross inequality he saw around him, of negligence, of greed, of lies and laying blame at another’s feet. That kind of writing gives me a lump in my throat, rising bile of anger, I always … Continue reading Another Day Another Post
The Power Of Patience Within Pandemonium
The tide is turning, and the swearing-in of the 116th Congress brought with it a breath of new faces and renewed hope. And as Fox’ misogynist Tucker Carlson has said himself women do belong in the House, significantly 100 years since women first gained the right to vote in America brought historical numbers sworn in of that gender, and with it a more balanced union … Continue reading The Power Of Patience Within Pandemonium
Wishful Thinkin’ Of The Life And Downfall Of The Useful Idiot
To my historically obsessed mind, there is this almost whiff of Shakespearean drama unfolding, political theatre, providing the background, the bits the players speak beguile, woo, or would seem to, hidden meanings, whispered secrets of once loyal men, yet concerned only with his own wealth and power, at the cost of the people he was elected to serve. “Vengeance is in my heart, death in … Continue reading Wishful Thinkin’ Of The Life And Downfall Of The Useful Idiot
Dirty Deeds In My Feeds
So it would seem that the chips are beginning to fall, the prosecution is gradually closing in, with the southern district of New York chiming in, and Mueller too, of hush money payments before an election and lawyers taking the fall (Cohen), of hiding and lying about it (Manafort), rag publishers granted immunity to spew, and what next? And everywhere you look there is a … Continue reading Dirty Deeds In My Feeds
A 15th Too: The Man, The Guilty, And Euston
Now, a couple tidbits that living with a narcissist taught me is first off, that any attention for them is good attention, they’ll take it all, any which way and Sunday sideways. Two, there can be only one, numero UNO, and that is their higher purpose to all else, contrary to whatever they say or bribe you with. And so here are some of those … Continue reading A 15th Too: The Man, The Guilty, And Euston
The Week So Far In America – Oppression, Regression, And A Swank Yacht
“Democracy cannot succeed unless those who express their choice are prepared to choose wisely. The real safeguard of democracy, therefore, is education.” Franklin D. Roosevelt Last 634 days, 15 hours, and 44 minutes, tick tock and the average Jo has no idea where to go, or what to read, who to watch. It’s all around, and everywhere, a journalist murdered here, rogue killers there, and … Continue reading The Week So Far In America – Oppression, Regression, And A Swank Yacht
