Things in the news that annoy and irritate me



Well the government is now back open for business.  The troubling part is that it never should have been shut down in the first place.  A small group of Republicans (the Tea Party faction) basically threw a temper tantrum that’s going to cost America $25 billion.  I don’t know about you but when my child behaves badly there is always some type of consequences. As a parent, I don’t reward bad behavior.  If they want to behave like spoiled children I say we treat them as such.  I have heard the word sedition (1) thrown around.  At the very least, these folks should be required to repay the money. These idiotic, racist “tea baggers” hijacked the entire federal government and caused needless human suffering and now have nothing to show for it.  I think Ted Cruz’s name should be at the top of the list.
In their efforts to make President Obama look bad, they have made America the laughing stock of the entire world.  Let’s be perfectly clear.  The reason these idiots are so upset has very little to do with the Affordable Care Act a.k.a Obamacare.  It has everything to do with the fact that a black man is the President of the United States and they cannot stand that idea.  Anybody who would rally around the Confederate flag has some serious race relations issues going on…  That flag that these folks seem to love so much is a symbol of racism and a horrible history of division and suffering in this country.  Also of note is the “grassroots” movement that is being called the Tea Party is being largely funded by those criminals the Koch brothers. Their motivation is mostly monetary but I have little doubt there are racist undertones as well.
I am so grateful and thankful that the women of the U.S. Senate stepped in and came together to end this mess.  With the men in their “pissing contest” there is no telling how long it would have taken…  Gentlemen, do us all a favor.  In the future, you can save us all a lot of needless anguish if you just get the ruler out and measure them.  That way once it’s settled, we can be about the business of running our great country instead of acting like spoiled, arrogant teenagers.
Sedition: the inciting of hostility towards the government.

Keeping Your Sanity in the Era of the Orange Orangutan

Let me begin with a disclaimer. I don’t hate anyone but I intensely dislike the Orange Orangutan With Tiny Baby Hands who is currently occupying the Oval Office. I will NEVER refer to that vile “human being” as President anything.  For all the noise, the monkey made about President Obama being illegitimate, Donald Trump is the most illegitimate, unqualified individual to ever hold that office. Okay, now that the formalities are out of the way, how DO you keep your sanity? First, sometimes you must take a break from social media, television, even print media. Those nubby little fingers are usually quite busy and the media eats it up. Thus, he’s everywhere. If you’re anything like me, the mere sight of him of or the sound of that voice is a trigger but for our sanity, we must let it go.   I was quite vocal on Facebook immediately following the election. My friends were certain that I was going to blow a gasket. I assured them that I was okay but I had to let it go. So, in...

Monogamy, Obamacare and Marissa Alexander

Does that seem like an odd title for a blog?  Perhaps but I am on serious information overload today!  You see, I was perusing Facebook as I often do to get material for my blog and I come across this post by Michael Baisden.  He posted a link for a video where there is a sociologist discussing the merits of sex outside of marriage.  Of course this piqued my interest but I couldn't get the damn thing to open....  Anyway, I began to ponder this concept and I touched on it briefly in my book (shameless plug you'll have to read the book).  Should we become more open-minded about the whole concept of monogamy?  How many marriages and families are destroyed by cheating, perhaps unnecessarily?  What if spicing things up meant having sex with someone who isn't your spouse or significant other?  Now this will not work for everyone but what if it works for some couples?  There needs to be open and honest dialogue between the parties involved....
