The horror! The horror!

I’m heading East in just a few days and I still can’t work up the energy to go shop for something that will not cause my sister to arch one eyebrow and state in a very quiet tone, “That’s what you’re wearing?”

I blame it all on Catholic school. I never had to pick what to wear. I wore a uniform. I liked that. Bring uniforms back for old people.

New pot laws

Let’s see, in my lifetime I’ve seen mixed race marriages become the norm with few eyebrows raised except in some deep misogynistic parts of the country. I’ve seen gay life go from the closet to the wedding chapel with more and more people accepting it without as much as a raised eyebrow. I’ve seen women become fighter pilots and secretaries of state. But to see pot become legal… take me now lord. There is nothing else to accomplish.

So does anyone think that the feds will use common sense and end the stupid and costly war on drugs now?

And still

I thought I would have stopped snorting in derision at Karl Rove by now. But no. I still find myself bursting into laughter at the oddest moments as I remember his face when he figured out on TV that he DIDN’T represent America and that Americans, ultimately, can’t be bought by his overlords. Thanks for the laughs, Karl. Now go away.

Ah men…..

I am consistently amazed by how happy some of my married female friends are given the weirdness that can be the male of the human species. Without naming names, because you know who you are, let me describe a recent scene in my home while the male half of couple who have been my friends forever was visiting.

I suggested that he could go upstairs and watch TV while I finished work I needed to do in my office before we went to dinner. A little while later, I went upstairs to get him. The TV was blaring at earsplitting

No excuses…. go vote!

Vote, if for no other reason, than in gratitude that it is over for at least the next three months. No more ads screaming lies at you. No more insane debates that are better scripted than “reality” TV. No more ears bleeding from the cacophony.

If this campaign season had lasted one more day, I may have had to give up on democracy completely as simply being too painful.

The 2016 presidential campaign will officially begin on January 21. Mark that on your calendars.

For this they needed a study?

Mexico recently conducted a study that said if pot was legalized in the United States, the biggest losers would be the drug cartels. Really, they needed to do a study to figure that out? Where can I apply for one of those study grants because I aim to prove that if you pee into the wind, the biggest loser is the person peeing.

Who’d a thunk?

I’d have never guessed I’d see the day when I was thinking, “Way to go, Chris Christie!” And yet, here I am thinking that. Wow.
