Good riddance to Trump,
government by ignorance, and government by gut/personal whim. Having a 300 pound guy with a map of Georgia and a sharpie predicting hurricanes rather than scientific experts has predictable limits and limitations. I must admit I feel a lot safer … Continue reading

Email reply re. youth poet laureate’s poem at inauguration:
Rhythms, some word play, and mostly cliched metaphors, but more (loosely) prosey in tone and style, and more cliched than great poems? (Line divisions by themselves don’t automatically = good/great poetry.) Is there anything editable about it, as is? (A … Continue reading

whadidya expect? The storming of the Bastille, uh Capitol, was the destined culmination of those myriad lies and The Big Lie (a la the Holocaust) that the election was stolen and that Trump actually won it. As Timothy Snyder (his … Continue reading

After AIMCo lost 2.1 billion in AB pension funds, Jason Kenney
quietly turned over the AB teachers’ retirement fund to them to mismanage and lose that nest egg, too. Kenney is a stupid, greedy, corrupt, untrustworthy, tubby gangster running amok with AB people’s money. He’s love to get Albertan’s CPPs, too … Continue reading

“We are the stuff that dreams are made on”
–Shakespeare. Well, of course, we dream a lot at night, whether these dreams are remembered or not. Then there are the daytime dreams, plans, and goals that we set for ourselves as we try to choose and control our futures. … Continue reading
