Fine, I'll Do It Myself


Boehner crying, not a good look

Allowing our government to be led, yes led, by people in a state of total ego melt down (perhaps it's the merlot) is irresponsible on all of our parts.   Why?  Because, as my second grade teacher once said to me,  we are L-A-Z-Y.  

In all my liberal leaning, easy chair sitting, get the popcorn popping, never-ever commited to anything, thinking and living locally years, I've never worked on a political campaign of any kind.

(Unless you count the time Trisha Delisha ran for the Cincinnati Public School Board while still in high school.) I vote but I don't tote.

This year, I will volunteer to work on a political campaign. The winner of this auspicious moment of selflessness will be whoever runs against Kasich in the next gubernatorial race in Ohio.

No, I do not know when that is, which means it's not for a while. I avoid the bigger picture in an effort to maintain what ever amount of ignorance I still have left. Like my lova boy Randy Sweet always says, "bliss is wasted on the ignorant."

So there you have it and you didn't even ask.

Three Days

When once he demanded
she go away
for three days long
with no pay
tomorrow, hence,
she does return
to face her demons
who wish her ill
Should you see her
up on the hill
wish her grace, and hope,
and most of all, good will
