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

VOTE FOR A GOOD GOVERNOR – Marilyn Armstrong
For all of you who think our insane and stupid president can order the nation back to work before we are medically ready for it -- he doesn't have the authority to do it. The "shelter in place" and lockdown orders were not given by the president. They were all given by each state's governor. … Continue reading VOTE FOR A GOOD GOVERNOR – Marilyn Armstrong
A GAY PRESIDENT – Rich Paschall
Is America ready? by Rich Paschall Let's just say that you have a candidate for president that appears very likable, as political candidates go. He's young and charming and smiles a lot.

It is an important part of your life as a law-abiding citizen of the country. You show up on time and … Continue reading THE DISHONEST JURY – RICH PASCHALL
THE ANGRY MOB by GARRY ARMSTRONG
Many years ago, our 7 or 8-year-old granddaughter was venting her anger over the loss of her favorite salad bar at a local restaurant. We did our best to explain the issue and somehow placated her. She thought we should tackle the issue head-on. "Let's," she said, "form an angry mob and storm the place!" … Continue reading THE ANGRY MOB by GARRY ARMSTRONG
GOVERNMENT GAMES – Marilyn Armstrong
In my neighborhood, my right-hand neighbor hates cops. He doesn’t want to pay for them. The guy on the left resents school taxes. He never had kids. Never wanted them. He doesn’t want to pay for education none of his children will ever use. Meanwhile, down the road, that guy has a big powerful SUV. … Continue reading GOVERNMENT GAMES – Marilyn Armstrong
