WOW. What a week its been, huh? I guess you know some folks got upset by your tweet advocating for the change of nature of the president. It seems you also got pretty offended at the idea that people thought you voted for him. In fact, it looks like you have surmised that…

Soldiers, Contractors and the Killing Of Hope
I typically post this stuff elsewhere but this is something I couldn’t get off my mind since the Op Ed from Erik Prince. Some segments of our society would like you to think that sending mercenaries into Afghanistan equates to privately funded space exploration. They would be wrong. The continued trickle of soldiers and…
Ireland, Politics and the feeling of Home
Is it possible for a place to call to you? To leave such an indelible imprint in your soul that you choke back tears just thinking about it? #askingforafriend I’m not sure exactly when it happened but I was sucked in by the smell of it. The mist, the grass, the peat smoke, the green…
The Trouble with Trouble, oh yeah, and Syria too
I get a little crazy over politics sometimes. In all honesty, I think I have earned it with the extent to which I have worked in it over the years, but still, I understand not every home has people that yell at the television news. In my defense, I warned them. I don’t work in…
Fear Not or Fear All
Life is funny. You go through things and scream and cry and lament them all but some things, some very important things build on top of each other and ultimately shape the kind of person you become. Its not always good, but it is a fact of how things work. I am a liberal. Flaming…
Politics, Smut Peddling and My Year of Ups and Downs
Politics and My Real Life I will go ahead and get it out of the way. For those that know me, I know you are surprised that I have been silent on the matter. That is strictly because I have been so damn busy. Here goes–I am not sure why people even CONSIDER voting against…
One person CAN make a difference
I was watching TV this morning and again, energy company commercials are running trying to scare people into forcing elected officials into keeping subsidies in place. Seriously, people, get with it…an industry that posts BILLIONS in profits can afford to pay their taxes! Jobs won’t be cut from it but if they do, I would…
The Comforts of Home
Cross posted at Vet Voice and Daily Kos I love my home. Although I wished I owned my own, no matter where I live, I make it my own. After years of living in large places, downsizing allowed me to choose only the things I love and cherish them. In today’s society that thrives on…
Good Hair Perry
My disdain for Repub Governors goes way back. This year, between failing to coming up with a solution to our education issues to now misusing his position to push a religious solution for wildfires burning out of control not far from me, I can say that I continue to be furious that we can not get…
Middle Monkey Returns
To say that I was very proud to see the child I sent to D.C. last week return would be an understatement. Rocking her newest HRC t-shirt and barely able to keep her eyes open, she ran out to greet us full of a glow that could hardly be contained. Aside from the cool “I…
