The world is bizarre, though I think we have now passed any concept I've ever had of what bizarre means. I was afraid if Trump lost, the Secret Service would have to carry him bodily from the White House. I was afraid the Democrats would have an insane convention and be the laughingstock of the … Continue reading A PLAGUE? REALLY? – Marilyn Armstrong
Election
LIES AND DREAMS – Marilyn Armstrong
I am now old enough and have been through enough elections with all the speechifying and promises that I know how it works.

OUR WORLD BALANCED ON THE HEAD OF A PIN – Marilyn Armstrong
Garry was a working reporter for more than 40 years, so you have to figure I have an interest in the news. I never watched all the news. I didn't think every shooting or fatal car accident was news.

As much as you may view this as politics, it is also education. Impeachment is a complicated business with a single motive: to protect the American Constitution. I can see all the sides of this impeachment. I understand why Nancy Pelosi wanted to wait and I can see why she changed her mind. I agree … Continue reading THE HOW AND WHY OF IMPEACHMENT – Reblog – THE SHINBONE STAR
