it was/is heartbreaking. i don’t remember and don’t believe i ever used “heartbreaking” about W. and his kin.

girl on our left has the devil in her smile. she’s gonna break some hearts before it’s over.

I honestly, honestly did not think he’d make it this far. I’ve talked with a Trump supporter or two or three. I struggle with their argument that people were just “fed up” with politics and wanted something different. What, you want dead polar bears and a public school system run like welfare and bombs falling on ‘Merica? Sounds delightful.

Very well could be. She like the exotic headdress.

I definitely should go to more City Council meetings. I might have a plight or two of my own.

the election chews at me, “to be sure*”.
i guess i’m counting on the f/u’s to be monumental and frequent.
i seriously thought in the final weeks he was gonna bust out with a bi-polar diagnosis and an “aw shucks”.

“to be sure”, when i use it, is a quote. an anonymous girl wrote it, and it was friggin’ poetry when she did.

The Second Coming
—-W.B. Yeats

Turning and turning in the widening gyre
The falcon cannot hear the falconer;
Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
The best lack all conviction, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity.

Surely some revelation is at hand;
Surely the Second Coming is at hand.
The Second Coming! Hardly are those words out
When a vast image out of Spiritus Mundi
Troubles my sight: somewhere in sands of the desert
A shape with lion body and the head of a man,
A gaze blank and pitiless as the sun,
Is moving its slow thighs, while all about it
Reel shadows of the indignant desert birds.
The darkness drops again; but now I know
That twenty centuries of stony sleep
Were vexed to nightmare by a rocking cradle,
And what rough beast, its hour come round at last,
Slouches towards Bethlehem to be born?

is she sportin’ spock ears?

tears big as horse turds running down my cheek. this girl’s plight is too much for me to bear.

Always a struggle when I write, just how descriptive I should be. 😊

Absolutely real!

Driving dangerous curves across the dirty sheets

When she’s wound up, and her parents are gone
Man you oughta hear her when the sirens on
Tell me, brave captain, Why are the wicked so strong?
How do the angels get to sleep, when the devil leaves his porch light on?

—-Tom Waits
(I paraphrased brief snippets due to the Bang! being a family publication.
(Extremely uncharacteristic of me, I left out a word and changed the phrasing slightly that could be used to disparage women. i know people who have daughters and it might someday be important that they know I treated almost all the sisterhood with deep respect and a sense of fear and awe.)
In full disclosure, Tom said, “when the bitch is wound up, and her parents are gone, man you oughta hear her when the sirens on!”

I didn’t mean to come across as not liking people based on their poliitical vote. I have many great friends (you included) and relatives who voted Republican this year. I was just throwing a fit because I wasn’t ready for Trump to be president the morning after. I’m also happy that you called me out publicly. I need that sometimes. 😉

I re-read the comments, with special attention to those of TLC. Where would any of us be without the transcending power of forgiveness? I’m going to assume that the public figures we’ve discussed are just as worthy as me and you, et al. Peace and popsicles for everyone. Purple for me.

Thanks everybody. I don’t think it’s 100% accurate to say Hillary “stole” the nomination from Bernie. It’s a complicated process, some would call “rigged”. I can be wrong too. For example, I wasn’t the least bit prepared for this to happen. I’m getting over it. Oh yeah, I should add that Bernie was my first pick. And that I am proud to have voted for Hillary, who’s made mistakes, just like me.

Good stuff
