And so Stormy has her say

I can’t count how many days in the administration that I’ve awoken, checked the latest news feed and immediately felt slimed by what was coming out of the White House. And now we have Stormy.

Remember back in the day when the Republicans impeached Clinton because of a blow job he got in the Oval Office? Yet now there is total silence. And honestly, the silence from politicians doesn’t bother me half as much as the very loud silence emanating from the so called evangelical Christians who seem ready to forgive this POS of anything he does so long as Continue reading →

This was their response?!!!

“A White House spokeswoman commented on the rallies, saying, ‘We applaud the many courageous young Americans exercising their first amendment rights today.'”

Really? That’s what they took from the demonstrations? They sound as though these kids were merely fulfilling a civics class assignment on how our government works. Let me correct that impression if I may. They were not marching as a civics exercise. They were marching for the right to attend class without fear of death from a crazed gunman or an armed teacher who couldn’t shoot straight. They were marching to not die trying to get a high Continue reading →

Our children will make us safe

It is usually the adults who are responsible for the safety of children. But today in America we are witnessing the children taking the steps needed to keep themselves safe from a country seemingly obsessed with guns and unwilling to adopt the simplest of safety measures to protect them.

Where the adults have failed, the children will succeed. I feel better today about the future of my country than I have since that hideous November day when we gave our country up to sleazy, lying, pussy grabbing traitors who are simply ripping us off until they run to a country Continue reading →

What some of us do on a Friday afternoon

I was walking through the bird room when the Everly Brothers’ song, ” All I Have To Do Is Dream”, came on the TV music channel I leave on for their amusement. Before I knew it, I was dancing and singing to the tune and I am proud to state that, for the first time ever, they did not try to scream over what I call my singing. I don’t know if they did it because I stunned them into silence with my rendition of that classic or whether they were simply stunned that I accidentally occasionally hit the right Continue reading →

Was this their plan all along

I see and hear from more and more people who are simply so tired and disgusted by the horror that is the current administration in DC that they want to just… and pardon this old hippie but it says it best… tune in and drop out. (I deliberately left out the turn on because unless we are talking about the tv, most of us old hippies are way too old to turn on.)

Anyhow, I have to wonder if this hasn’t been their plan all along – act so egregiously for so long that decent people will drop out of Continue reading →

And this is why no one goes to downtown Anchorage

So I went downtown to meet someone for brunch. Found a space across from the restaurant to park. Tried to pay the meter with my credit card. Wouldn’t take it. Looked for money. Had no ones. Looked for change. Gave the machine everything I had and then tried to do all my business before it expired.

Got out and, of course, found a ticket. Came home and, like a good little Catholic girl, immediately went online to pay it. Getting into the Easy Park system took the better part of twenty minutes of signing in and signing up so I Continue reading →

Schools

When someone breaks into a school in America, they show up armed with assault rifles and kill as many people as possible. In Mexico, they apparently break into schools and cut the hair of some of the women and girls in the school.

Now don’t get me wrong. Having men forcibly hold you down and chop your hair off with garden shears and machetes is a horrifying experience and can result in massive emotional and psychic trauma. But, at the end of the day, your hair grows back and you get on with your life.

We could wish no one Continue reading →

So much in so little time

So much happens in any single day in this POS’ administration that it’s hard to keep up. We forget his last stupid thing because he’s already gone on to say or do something even more outrageous. So let’s pick the best of the past few days.

Let’s start with POS Jr. getting divorced. Like father, like son, right? First, congrats to his wife on waking up one day and realizing what a horrible mistake she made by marrying into this family from hell. Then boo to this same woman for having five children by POS Jr. thus ensuring that these Continue reading →

The Republicans are strangely silent

Our national debt is now over $11 trillion. This is partly due, of course, to the Republicans need to fill the coffers of their biggest supporters through a tax plan that gives to the rich and takes from the poor in the form of reduced funding for those programs that provide safety nets for our most vulnerable populations.

Now if this had been happening  under Obama, the Rs would be rioting in the streets over fiscal irresponsibility and the need to rein in government spending. But for so long as they are placing this country in unbelievable debt for their Continue reading →

Not to worry

We won’t be skipping a month. We have our school shooting for March under our belts now. Can’t wait to see what April brings.

As a nation, we have truly lost our minds when some shithead whose penis is so small he needs weapons to feel big gets more protection than high school students just trying to learn French verb tenses.

Way to go, NRA.. And just out of curiosity, how many kids have to die before it occurs to you that too many have? Continue reading →
