Postus Interruptus

Bless me readers for it has been eight days since my last post and I am heartily sorry for my transgression. My pennance will be to watch the three hour Republican Presidential debate on CNN tonight, yours will be to suffer my opinions on it later.

Honestly the election shtick has been a tad boring. Rick Perry dropped out, but that's not news. The fact he was running as a man under criminal indictment in Texas for alleged misdeeds while Governor is news but you couldn't tell it by the media coverage or his opponents complete silence on it. Why he ran again is unfathomable. The only thing he's remembered for from his 2012 race was his inability to remember his own rhetoric. We were told he would be a juggernaut, he was a dud. Biting the dust early this time is no surprise.

Bobby Jindal tried to get some traction by attacking Trump, that went no where. Governor Jindal's time, which never was and never will be, has passed. He will not be picked for V.P. so he should just go away and maybe govern his state. Just a thought.

Oh, oh, Sarah " I Quit Being Governor of Alaska Two Years into my First Term So I Could Make Millions off of Undeserved Fame" Palin was back in the news, seriously that's her full name, Google it. Sarah spoke glowingly about Donald Trump and wants to be in his cabinet as Secretary of Energy so she can abolish it. Palin doesn't know what the Energy Department does nor does she know as it's Secretary she couldn't get rid of it. So good to see she's keeping up with her reading.

Ben Carson is rising in the polls but he's still batshit crazy, proving that something is horribly wrong with the people the Republicans are polling.

After her run in with Pontius Pilate Kim Davis returned to work and vowed not to compromise her beliefs. She hides in her office when same-sex couples apply for a marriage license and let's her deputies deal with it. She says the licenses are not legal without her signature. The Governor of Kentucky says they are. She may not be signing the licenses but she is ultimately approving them with the imprimatur of her office so she really needs to resign, lest her immortal soul burn in hell because two people in love got married on her watch.

That's all from Hindtit, Indiana but more to follow...

Sacrifice

After a lengthy absence from live performance I found my self wedged in a seat at Theater on the Square in Indianapolis. The production was "Sacrifice" , an original and first play from co-writers Marcus May and Caleb Nunez. Both have experience in short films and a life long love of the arts. The play is about racial tension between two families, one black and one Latino. Leading the Latino family is Ernesto, a building super who's wife was killed many years earlier by a young black male. Ernesto, engagingly played by Joe Vanegas, cannot let go of this life altering experience and as a result has a distrust of African Americans and a prejudice born of pain. His daughter Ana, played by Brittany Crone, views the world through a different lens, one of tolerance and acceptance of diversity. She tries to soften her father's views but to no avail. Enter the new tenants in the building, the black family father and son Antonio and Trey. When Trey meets Ana sparks begin

The Day After

Well, how you doing today. Feeling nauseous? Feeling giddy with joy? Feeling like the Republic is now under the control of a Sith Lord? Feeling like the saviour of the nation has arrived? I guess it all depends on where you stand. I said in this little forum from the very beginning that Donald Trump could get the Republican nomination and go on to win the Presidency. I was hopeful that he wouldn't but never delusional that he couldn't. Forget about the polls which got it wrong and forget about the professional pundits who got it wrong and are still getting it wrong in their analysis. Trump won in the Electoral College because of rural America turning out in large numbers. As I write this Hillary Clinton still has over 200,000 more votes than Donald Trump and that number will likely grow by the time the count is complete. The irony is that the same people who voted for Donald Trump are the ones who rail against the Electoral College. Let me repeat again that millions of Amer

The Write Path

Writing is like using a muscle, if you stop it atrophies. My problem as it relates to our current political environment in America is that I am not shocked by anything Trump is doing. Absent outrage over an unexpected atrocity makes it hard to crank out a regular commentary. Now, if I were being paid to produce this little plop of crap for you, I most certainly would muster the energy necessary to do so. But I'm not. What is there to say. Hillary Clinton is leading Donald Trump in the popular vote by 2.7 million, proving the Electoral College needs to be abolished, but I yawn. Trump has Mike Pence by his side waiting to implement a national assault on gay people and the reproductive rights of women, a Christian Jihad if you will, is Trump going to allow it? Trump has appointed a conspiracy theory nutbag, General Michael Flynn, as National Security Advisor but fortunately is nominating General James Mattis as Secretary of Defense, yes I support the waiver because he will be the san
