I’ve been trying to stay busier, more occupied by beautiful music and loving friends and family, less apt to not-be-able-to-look-away from the endless train wreck piling up around us.  I’ve been too angry and perplexed and deeply, deeply troubled and embarrassed by the horrible man and his sniveling empowerers that have hijacked and sullied everything that I hold dear.  I’m exhausted by my hatred for everything these people in power stand for and, I’ve decided, (because I’m generally a strong-willed kind of guy), that I will limit my outrage quotient, by some as-yet-to-be-determined algorithm, in order to regain my storied, calm demeanor.  Crap!  I have never had a calm demeanor, storied or otherwise.  Perhaps I can muster an incremental withdrawal by abridging my run-on rhetoric in a purposefully more digestive format.  So, here are this week’s headlines, (mostly vetted for truthiness)…feel free to provide your own subtext.
