It’s hard to keep up with scandalous behavior these days. I’m still reeling from that whole Anthony Weiner thing, (the actual ‘thing’, not all the hoo-ha that surrounded it); I can’t get a handle on what’s what with ObamaCare; I don’t know if I’m alarmed that Bob Gates’ memoire unmasks…
There’s been a bit more talk about the notion of the two, very separate Americas as a result of the numerous, relentlessly replayed clips of Bill de Blasio’s swearing in as mayor of NYC. It didn’t gain much traction as an issue in the last presidential campaign and as a…
2K13 The past twelve months blipped by too fast Alas, It’s time to share My recapitulated point of view Of life and death and ObamaCare From where I sit, it wasn’t too rosy We humans ain’t doin’ so good We’re still at war, we cheat, we lie Overall, I think…

This should not be confused with the unsuccessful Senate legislation attempted, by Republicans, during W’s administration. That, very clearly, was the Nucular Option…very different. Stupid name aside, the change to make a simple majority of fifty-one votes replace the dumb super majority of sixty votes necessary to confirm most presidential…
I haven’t written in some time because I figured that reading a note while dodging so many bullets would be difficult at best and wouldn’t lend itself to heeding any sage advice. But, I think someone needs to say this to you. You have fucked it all up! Stop trying…
