My gin consumption has gone through the roof since November.

Call Bernstein said on air (CNN) last night that even solid conservative republicans were openly discussing if he was fit for duty.

I’m hoping for a massive, KFC induced stroke with a field team of security who failed their CPR training.

I woke to panicked tweets from our daughter in SK. She and her husband are quietly beginning to make emergency exit plans, probably through Jeju to Japan and on to Australia then to the US. They’re getting tourist visas now and, if it comes to the worst, we’ll deal with it later.

Great minds think alike. Just added it to my favorite playlist last week.

He’ll end up getting us in wars on two different fronts, which we can’t sustain, then pass the mess along to 46 in another 3 years if he lasts that long. Sooner if he doesn’t.

I was in Gunsan on the 4th, about 15 miles drop the American Air Force base. We had Blackhawks along the coast in groups of 3-4 several times a day after that. The shore patrols made locals very nervous.

Yeah, this.

I used to put up with old creepers on Lake Michigan when I was in my 30s and 40s. Now that I’ve passed 50 I find I’m safe on the beach but not at my local Kroger.

Oh shit, had to Google that. My eyes!

Society thought we had left it behind but it has always been lurking under the surface. I truly hate this administration and all Twitler stands for, but the one pony at the bottom of this political manure pile has been dragging that racism out into the light. We can make it through if everyone, all races, keeps

There is so much blinding white in that video that I felt the need to reach for my shades. This fact makes the lyrics all the more disturbing for me.

This! My daughter lives in South Korea (I’m headed there for a visit at the end of the week) and she has said the north has been particularly riled since 45 took the oath. The new administration, such as it is, certainly has not been lobbying for Warmbier’s release. NK screwed up, cut their losses and agreed to a

Oh, I wouldn’t be too sure about that. I’m betting he puts Schiller in that job.

This one almost got me today. The sender was someone on my work contact list, and I’m webmaster for a state site that compiles job listings for my education niche. Some folks have sent me links to Google docs that are job openings posted internally one to two days before it goes public. Fortunately though, I realized

We will! I’m booked on Air Canada and plan to make that flight unless Homeland puts out a full smack down and we have a travel ban. Daughter an I plan to do a monestary stay for the first week then spend time at her Korean family’s farm, helping them with summer chores.

My daughter lives in Gunsan on the coast. Two weeks ago I made airline reservations to visit at the end of June. She badly needs mom time and nothing short of cancelled flights with a travel ban will keep me from her. But. We’re both getting very worried and more so every day.

We moved to Texas briefly after we both finished grad school in 1990 and The Mister had a 9-5 job in Houston. One of those little armadillo fuckers decided to live on our front porch. I’m a Michigander and it freaked me out every time - a damned possum wearing body armor!
