Moments taken, undulating, slipping through the fingers of my mind. Slowly marking
Time when all we had was time. Permanent markers. Red and black indelible print on soft
Surfaces. Everyone could see that you belonged to me. Except for you. And her. Thieves.
Yep.
When America first woke up, she didn’t know where she was.
She wobbled upright on the couch, her head spinning, the stink of Old Crow and cheap beer hanging in the air. “I’ve got to stop having these crazy blackouts,” she thought.
There was the sound of incoherent mumbling nearby. She gingerly turned her head to look. Oh, God. Richard Spencer was passed out next to her, his head back and his mouth open. Was it possible? Did she make out with a Nazi last night?
America rubbed her face and tried to remember what the hell happened. Nightmarish images floated back to her. The fascist embracing her waist, whispering in her ear. “I will make you feel like a real woman… you’re not a woman until you’ve been taken by a strong man…” And she had let him take her, she suspected.
Her living room was torn to pieces. Trash…

Maybe trump needs to analyze his spending. He’s flirting with the “let them eat cake” philosophy and we know where that got Marie Antoinette.
This is Trump’s 7th golf weekend in a row. He has been in office 8 weeks. That damn inauguration with the yuge crowds cost him a weekend of leisure.
Each weekend Trump spends at his Mar-a-Lago resort comes at a cost of 3-5 million taxpayer dollars. Add that to the million dollars we spend every week to keep Milania in New York—that’s a lot of something.
Something = Healthcare, Medicare, Medicaid, Meals on Wheels, Arts funding, Veteran Funding, Energy Assistance, Environmental Protection, Agriculture, Commerse, Educational Grants, 62 program cuts in all—that’s a lot of something.
How long until Trump leaves?https://howlonguntiltrumpleaves.com/#.WM64n52MItQ.twitter
Wisps of fleecy clouds
Do not mar a summer sky
They define the blue
Gift me with crinkles
Life’s perfect imperfections
Memory’s index
Smile with abandon
Frown without retribution
Claim each earned wrinkle
Political cartoons may be our salvation.
I came home from my Saturday morning errands to find this turtle blocking my path. She was in no hurry to let me pass.
Fresh ideas for blog material are coming to me at the steady pace of molasses in mud, which is to say they’re not coming at all. I know the key here is to just write, regardless of whether anything printable results.
The truth is that my head is in a muddle. Everything I write feels like it’s something I’ve written before. I know I’m not the only one to feel this way. After all one of the original bloggers put it so eloquently:
The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be; and that which is done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun. Ecclesiastes 1:9 KJV
I know how to remedy this situation. A week at an all-inclusive resort ought to do it. I’m sure that’s what the Preacher in the book of Ecclesiastes did–booked himself into an exclusive place in Arizona and enjoyed a nice deep tissue massage and followed it up with a 90 minute facial. Seven days of clean eating and meditation cleared his mind and he was able to finish the book.
I’m open to sponsorships.
Political cartoonist, Mike Luckovich, just keeps hitting home runs.
I spent all of ten minutes completing my bracket for March Madness. To all my friends outside of the U.S. this has to do with college basketball and who’ll be crowned the best of the best in a 64* team tournament.
I don’t pay a ton of attention to college basketball during the season, so I have no idea how one team will match up against another. We have friends who get all technical and look at statistics and rosters. Not me.
I root for the Kansas Jayhawks. Regardless of who else is in the tournament or what their season record has been I always choose them to win the tournament. Even if they weren’t IN the tournament I’d probably have chosen them anyway. Now that’s loyalty. Or stupidity.
Rounding out my top four I’ve got Duke, Gonzaga, and North Carolina.
I’m curious to see who else is into the bracketology surrounding March Madness. Who made your top four? Here’s a printable bracket–better late than never, eh? http://media.kansascity.com/livegraphics/2017/jp/2017ncaamensbracket.pdf?v=4
Peace, people!
*four teams have to play into the tourney, so technically it’s 68 teams. Sort of. It’s all very confusing.
