Well, since this is a slow day, I’ll just blog about the metaphysical musings that flit through my mind–oh, who am I kidding? It’s Obama all day long! I am wearing my Obama/Biden sweatshirt, nestled under two blankets, watching the pageantry of the inauguration ceremonies. Here are my thoughts. Sweet poetic justice that Cheney pulled… Continue Reading

Whew! And, Suck It, Cheney!
I read this article first thing this morning–ok, afternoon, so sue me–and felt a little of my tension melt away. It looks as if W. has no intention of burrowing himself in the White House. I should have known, given how little he actually wanted to do throughout his presidency. I am still wary that… Continue Reading
Holding My Breath
I should be ecstatic. In just one day, Barack Hussein Obama is going to be sworn in as President of the United States. A multiracial son of an immigrant and a single mother (not the same person, of course), is going to be the leader of our country. He is literate and eloquent, intelligent and… Continue Reading
Happily Never After
I don’t believe in marriage. Oh, not in the ‘I don’t believe in Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny’ kind of way, but in the ‘Aw, hell, no!’ kind of way. As a girl, I never dreamt of a white wedding with bridesmaids in hideous prom dresses and thousands of dollars in debt. I never… Continue Reading
We Interrupt Your Daily Schedule
To bring you this important message. President-Elect Obama is going to be around for at least four years (and, hopefully, eight), fates willing, and I can write him an open letter that he’s not going to read any time. However, fates also willing, W. will be out of the public eye in a few days, and it… Continue Reading
Mending a Broken Heart (Part One)
An open letter to President-Elect Barack Obama. Dear President-Elect Obama: First, I would like to congratulate you on winning the election. It was, without a doubt, historic in ways we have yet fully begun to absorb, and I’m proud to have been a small part of that history. I have been watching your career with… Continue Reading
A Tale of Two Kitties
This is a love story about how I found my heart and soul. Since I am garrulous by nature, it will take me a bit to get to the core of this tale, but it’s worth the journey, I guarantee. I love cats. I had cats as a kid. However, I’m also seriously allergic to… Continue Reading
W. Redux (Shut. Up. Part II)
I got to see snippets of W.’s final farewell press conference on Keith Olbermann’s show and on Rachel’s show. For the past eight years, I have done my level best not to listen to a word that man has uttered because it only causes my blood to boil and my temper to rise. I am… Continue Reading
Shut. Up.
An open letter to still-president George Bush. W.: I recently wrote an open letter to Sarah Palin in which I asked her to shut up and do her job. In your case, I will simplify that request to just shut up. I don’t want you doing anything that remotely resembles ‘doing your job’ as you… Continue Reading
It’s Not Us, Sarah, It’s You
An open letter to Sarah Palin. Dear Sarah, May I call you Sarah? I feel like I know you intimately, as distasteful as that is to me. I tried my best to avoid mention of you during the election, but it proved to be futile. After all, you were purportedly running to be a heartbeat… Continue Reading
