Sure, tanks are kinda cool, but…

Posted on July 3, 2019 by A Dreamer

Not really appropriate for a 4th of July event here in the US. Yes, other places do that, but they’re other places. And moving 2.5 million from the Park Service for this bullshit. Not like they’re constantly overflowing with funds. … Continue reading →

I know there are bigger things I should be thinking about…

Posted on January 6, 2019 by A Dreamer

But I am genuinely enjoying watching the GOP lose the collective shit over this freshman Congress. You can tell they’re lashing out in fear. And they should be afraid. They’ve gotten away with enabling 45 an his hateful policies for … Continue reading →

Welp

If you’d told me at any time in my life I’d be getting tears eyed watching Congress… Well, it did happen once before, when the ACA was passed. And again today. The House of Representatives looks more like the people … Continue reading →

So, how are y’all doing today?

Posted on October 24, 2018 by A Dreamer

I’m still trying to process the fact that someone or some group of people attempted to assassinate two former Presidents, a former Secretary of State, a former Attorney General, a former CIA director, and a sitting US Congresswoman. And the … Continue reading →

Damn, I must be more jaded than I thought

Posted on July 16, 2018 by A Dreamer

But nothing today – from 45 being a lap dog to Putin, to Butina’s arrest, feels in any way particularly new or revelatory. The question is, will anyone in Congress do anything about it. And with this group of GOPers, … Continue reading →

Well, this has been fanfuckingtastic so far

Posted on January 29, 2017 by A Dreamer

So, yeah, any thoughts I had that this administration would just be mediocre and we could muck through it lasted about 3 seconds. I realize I don’t really have the skills to fix this, and the Democrats don’t have the numbers … Continue reading →

I’ll admit it – I lacked imagination.

Posted on March 16, 2016 by A Dreamer

At, least as far as the campaign of He Who Shall Not Be Named is concerned.  (I realize this lack of imagination does not bode well for any future writing career I may envision…) But I really didn’t see it getting to … Continue reading →

Am I the only one that thinks caucusing is a terrible idea?

Posted on January 31, 2016 by A Dreamer

Lord knows the media is excited about it, but I keep looking at the process and thinking, “Oh hell no.” I’m in Virginia – we have plain old primaries.  Regular polling place, regular voting hours, absentee ballots available and in-person absentee … Continue reading →

I am angry and embarrassed.

Posted on December 8, 2015 by A Dreamer

Though I didn’t watch President Obama’s speech on Sunday night, I did take the time to read the transcript later in the evening.  While I didn’t really feel any need to be consoled or reassured, I was pleased to see … Continue reading →

Some days I am just done with it all.

Posted on November 2, 2013 by A Dreamer

And this week is seriously pushing me to go far, far away and just be a hermit. — 5th circuit decides that corporations can apparently have religious consciences and that is more important than women’s health.  (Which I suppose women … Continue reading →
