Dear President Trump, I don’t have the day off today since I’m considered an “essential” federal employee. Basically, the message at the VA has been that if employees are scheduled to see veterans today or are in direct clinical support roles they are expected to show up and do their jobs. No arbitrary cancellations will … Continue reading A very pricey impromptu federal holiday
Taxes
We won’t be unseen or unheard
Dear President Trump, Your top dollar Mar-a-lago New Year’s Eve party is probably starting to hop about now. Are you donating the entrance fee to charity? How about donating to an anti-bullying campaign to support Melania’s chosen cause? If you were to make a strong gesture in the direction of stopping bullying, it would be … Continue reading We won’t be unseen or unheard
Cue the sycophants!
Dear President Trump, I almost typed “Dear President Rump.” Fitting. There are some other choice words that rhyme with trump like lump, dump, and crump, which means to explode heavily, and slump.

Get it done or don’t call us, ever

It's refreshing … Continue reading Get it done or don’t call us, ever
You are not a resurrection sort
Dear President Trump, I wish you were a president I want to wish a Happy Easter, but you aren't. You are not a resurrection sort of president who is invested in bringing about positive, creative change for the good of the people. In fact, you have shown yourself to be someone who is invested in … Continue reading You are not a resurrection sort
How will YOU personally benefit?
Dear President Trump, I just read a short piece on the “Fourth Turning” and Bannon’s fascination with the thesis that history cycles predictably and that we are headed toward an inevitable fracturing of society that will require some sort of visionary superman to navigate through the chaos. I’m not going to dignify the 4th-turning ideas … Continue reading How will YOU personally benefit?
