Donald, Again, I’m retracing old ground, but given how little we have learned, I think it’s warranted. This morning I read an interview with Congresswoman Jayapal by Rebecca Traister for The Cut about Jayapal’s experiences on Wednesday during the Capitol siege. Jayapal recounts how there’d been talk days ahead of time that a large protest … Continue reading Angry about our anger double standard

Our hearts were broken into even smaller pieces today
Donald, What to say? I don’t know. The in our faces events of the day have been scrutinized and parsed every which way from Sunday and there are still countless declarations swirling about the necessity for more scrutiny and parsing about how it was that the mob breached the Capitol, how it was that we … Continue reading Our hearts were broken into even smaller pieces today
On pins and needles
To: The Bona Fide Loser Where to start? Hmm. Given how consequential today is, I’m thinking it’s probably best to wait until we see what happens in Georgia before committing the bulk of my character count. The one thing I’ll say now is that it occurs to me that perhaps part of the deal in … Continue reading On pins and needles
POTUS and his father complex
To: The Loser Boy Whose Father Hated Losers So you’ve been able to cobble together an even dirty dozen GOPP* Senators to do your bidding on Wednesday – so far, anyway. Are there others you all are working on? Others you’ve got juicy tidbits of dirt to blackmail them with or maybe super juicy carrots … Continue reading POTUS and his father complex
One very messed up three-ring circus
To: The Evil Ring Master Blessed be, we’re finally within spitting distance of 2021 and will soon be officially putting 2020 in the rearview mirror along with the previous three years of your reign of terror. I can’t hold my breath until tomorrow midnight and live to tell the tale (let alone until noon EST … Continue reading One very messed up three-ring circus
Vacation days ~ deserved and undeserved
To: The Loutish Loafer I don’t think I told you that I’m taking today, tomorrow, and Thursday off from work. I would normally take the whole week off, but this year it feels important that both my co-facilitator and I be present for the group we run on Wednesday mornings, so Wednesday will be a … Continue reading Vacation days ~ deserved and undeserved
Lessons from lemmings
To: The One Who's Forcing the GOPP's Implosion I was inspired to read about lemmings this morning by the fantastically moronic stuff being reported about certain members of the GOPP (Grand Old Pathetic Party) and their fanatical devotion to you. Before musing about what political calculations may be driving their apparent idiocy, I want to … Continue reading Lessons from lemmings
The menace of the Kool-Aid mainliners
To: The Evil Instigator Ok, so I was wrong about Mitch being the Senator who would join Rep. Mo B. and object to the Electoral College slate on January 6th. It must have ticked you off but good when Mitch finally capitulated and congratulated Biden and Harris on their win yesterday and it must have … Continue reading The menace of the Kool-Aid mainliners
Biden is doing his best Biden for US
To: The Narcissist in Chief I’m betting you took a pass on watching Joe Biden’s speech last night after all the Electoral College votes had been cast and his win affirmed. I’m also betting that if you had watched you would’ve scoffed and belittled him for being conciliatory and weak, for insisting that he’ll be … Continue reading Biden is doing his best Biden for US
Federal executions
To: The Executioner Ok, so the Electoral voters have spoken – you are out, Biden is in. You are out. Biden is in. It’s tempting to just repeat those two huge little sentences over and over for the entire letter – I bet it would look kind of cool from a graphic standpoint. Unfortunately, though, … Continue reading Federal executions
