Since we still find it impossible to pay women equally for equal work from men, I guess I shouldn’t be surprised that we couldn’t elect a female president. So thank god for Germany and Angela Merkel. At least somewhere in this world there is a bright, intelligent woman leading us on a better path – or, at least, a recognizable path that seems to have involved some thought and effort as opposed to Orangeman who seems to act on impulse… and his impulses are around a seven year old’s level.

My microwave does not say hi back
So is it wrong that every time I use my microwave now I say hi when I open the door? I mean, no need to be rude to whoever is on the other side of the hidden camera, right? Continue reading →
I wish I could get excited
I wish I could get excited about St. Patrick’s Day this year but I can’t. News from the Orange House is so bad on a daily basis that I spend most of my time feeling sad for the demise of our once great nation.
So all you seniors and kids out there who will no longer have enough food to eat so that we can build a military force that will keep the military industrial complex rich, find someone wearing green today and get them to treat you to some corned beef and cabbage. It may be the last meal Continue reading →
Political ethics… more ephemeral than spun sugar
I don’t know about you but I am personally ready to beat on any Alaskan politician claiming to cut the fat from the state budget to make ends meet without offering a single instance of where that fat is.
We are in the middle of a statewide fiscal crisis. Combine the budget gap with the recession and you have a perfect storm for wreaking havoc in the lives of ordinary citizens. Yet our state Senate seems intent on making that situation worse by offering a budget fix that would destroy thousands of jobs, deepen the recession and only be good Continue reading →
You just know he’s laughing
Don’t you think that in a house somewhere in Washington, DC, Obama is laughing his ass off as the Republicans try to undo Obamacare and find themselves at war with everyone over it. I mean, given their rhetoric of repealing it the first chance they got, he’s got to be at least snickering over their abortive Ryancare bill and it’s army of enemies. Continue reading →
Blaming the dogs is less embarrassing
So I’m walking up and down the hallway looking for a pile due to the smell of poop while glaring at the dogs only to realize that the odor might, just might, have been caused by my farting when I went to the bathroom. Continue reading →
Why is it?
Why is it that I get through the fall back time change with no problem but it takes a whole day to adjust to the spring forward? I spent most of yesterday in a daze that had no logical reason – unless it was those brownies. Hmmm… Continue reading →
Attention people who make tv shows
You cannot have a mid-season finale. And you know why? Because the very word “mid-season” tells us there is more to come. Ergo, no finale. It is a contradiction to put those words together. Kinda like saying “compassionate conservative”. Those two words simple contradict each other too. Continue reading →
I tried
So I collected every gross dog toy in the house and washed them because it seems that the dirtiest ones are always the ones the dogs bring to bed at night. I looked high and low to make sure I didn’t miss any. Got everything washed and clean and smelling daisy fresh. Sat down to watch TV and Carm comes running up with the one toy I missed… clearly the dirtiest and grossest of all… that he must have carefully hidden so I didn’t wash its mojo out.
I just want credit for trying.
A day late but still worth posting
National Women’s Day was yesterday but these women deserve to be recognized even if it’s a day late. This is my mother standing on the far right with her sisters standing next to her and her sisters-in-law sitting in front of them. These women ruled our lives growing up. They were, to put it mildly, a formidable force to be reckoned with if you were one of their kids or any of their nieces or nephews. They had a job to do – raising those damned kids who are driving us all nuts – and they did it very well. Continue reading →
