She fought so hard for me. She fought so hard for my daughter. I never even sent her a thank you card. Rest in well-deserved peace. We’ve got this.

The Guy on My Bucket List
I fulfilled one of the top items on my bucket list when I attended an episode of The Daily Show about six months before Jon Stewart retired. My first protest was the Austin, Texas Rally to Restore Sanity. Even better than those Jon Stewart related events in my life is the above photo. Thank you, Jon … Continue reading The Guy on My Bucket List
A Scary Christmas
Seriously, Melania? Please tell me you didn't spend my tax dollars on these suicidal Christmas trees. The only thing that keeps me sane during the shit show in the White House is the fact that there are some damn clever people in the world. It's not just Christmas, every day is scary with Trump in … Continue reading A Scary Christmas
Veterans Day
My Uncle Jimmy was a soft spoken man. I once heard him call a woman who cut him off in traffic in Los Angeles a heifer and it shocked me. That was the closest I’d ever heard him come to cursing. This is the same man who was a crew member on a B-17 bomber … Continue reading Veterans Day

We headed to Ruidoso, New Mexico from the Texas Hill Country, a drive of over 500 miles. I will be writing about our little adventure, but first … Continue reading A Shithole Country Can Be in Your Own Backyard
My Louise Linton Bucket List
Oh, please let me look at a grandmother who was a single parent who also took care of her legally blind grandmother the way Louise Linton is looking at me. Let me perfect that - fuck you and your insignificance because you have to work two jobs to pay your bills, while giving up food … Continue reading My Louise Linton Bucket List
Boom! Shakalaka!
From the Urban Dictionary: An onomatopoeic "in your face." Originally the sound of a slam-dunk in basketball -- the "boom” being the dunk, and the "shakalaka" being the rattling of the backboard. To express a feeling of joy and dominance, while at the same time trying to show the world who you are and where … Continue reading Boom! Shakalaka!
#StevenSeagal + #Putin = Gross
Apparently Steven Seagal has run off to be a Russian citizen so he can criticize American citizens who exercise their right to peacefully protest racial inequality. I try to ignore Steven Seagal, but did watch Piers Morgan interview him on Good Morning Britain. Just looking at Seagal reminds me it's time to take a shower. … Continue reading #StevenSeagal + #Putin = Gross
