Dear President Trump, I’ve taken most of the day off from the news so hopefully you haven’t done anything horribly nasty, scary, or egregious in the last 24 hours. You probably have, but I’m going to pretend, for now, that you haven’t and go with my plan to cover some more good news today. I … Continue reading “Places where we can exhale”
Let’s go with some good news today
Dear President Trump, I’m going to go with some bits of good news today since it really is out there and we need to not lose sight of it in the midst of all the crappy changes you’ve been putting us through all these long months. Starting close to home, yesterday in my clinical team … Continue reading Let’s go with some good news today
Gladiators probably couldn’t protest either
Dear President Trump, How about you! You notched a big #Win (or “#Winning” as your sycophantic VP enthusiastically proclaimed) by coercing the NFL owners to agree that teams will incur hefty fines if players protest on the sideline. I know you aren’t fully satisfied with the rules since players can remain in the locker room … Continue reading Gladiators probably couldn’t protest either
To yield or not to yield
Dear President Trump, Now that it’s light so late and the weather has warmed up the annual migration from indoors to outdoors is happening in our neighborhood. Kids are still in school so there’s not a ton of kid activity on the sidewalks yet, but more adults are hanging out on their porches and working … Continue reading To yield or not to yield
Mein Trumpf
Dear President Trump, You are spewing molten asphalt to pave the way for a civil war with your imperial demand that the DOJ investigate the FBI, aren’t you? You and Team Trump have already laid down the initial subgrade by convincing your base that “fake news,” “alternative facts,” and “witch hunts” are all real and … Continue reading Mein Trumpf
Safety nets for us all
Dear President Trump, I took the day off to spend time with our family from Atlanta and as luck would not have it, I spent the entire morning at the doctor’s office waiting to find out if I had something very wrong with my right eye. All last week I had more floaters than usual … Continue reading Safety nets for us all
Brainwashed and benumbed + guns = death
Dear President Trump, Are you following Oliver North’s statements about school shootings being a product of “our culture of violence” and we shouldn’t blame guns? Do you see any problems with that logic? Like maybe that the ubiquity of guns, our overly literal interpretation of the Second Amendment, and our unwillingness to value life over … Continue reading Brainwashed and benumbed + guns = death
Real people with names and lives
Dear President Trump, We have family visiting from Atlanta and decided to take a drive to check out an island in the Salish Sea. On the freeway I saw a pick-up truck that had a brown sock monkey on a rope tied to the trailer hitch flying out behind like it was being dragged. No … Continue reading Real people with names and lives
Bearing reality and keeping hope alive
Dear President Trump, This morning I took on a slightly more ambitious run and went to visit “The Rock.” I thought I’d told you about the Rock before but I did a search and apparently I haven’t. Anyway, it’s a large glacial anomaly about the size of a small cabin in the middle of a … Continue reading Bearing reality and keeping hope alive
Blackmail fodder
Dear President Trump, This morning I read the excerpts of the Senate Russia investigation about the Tower meeting and it dawned on me that Vladimir P entrapped you. I was trying to figure out why there was the promise of dirt on Clinton and why, by all accounts, it wasn’t delivered, and the proverbial light … Continue reading Blackmail fodder
