The 2012 Republican Platform

What scares me most is that Mr. Mogulescu isn’t being tongue in cheek or exaggerating or taking a page from the Stephen Colbert playbook. His list is exactly to the letter, what the presidential candidate nominees are campaigning on everyday they are courting the primary voters. Their vision for America’s future is a dark and social Darwinian society full of have-nots with a few haves. Their vitriolic war against women is the most blatant evidence of how badly they want our society to turn back the clock and re-emerge into the late 19th century. The 1890’s had unlimited wealth for the robber barons, women didn’t have the vote, contraception didn’t exist, the white male was in power everywhere, voters didn’t have any protections, there weren’t any regulations. This was pre-Teddy Roosevelt, our first progressive President and he was a republican. He would be turning in his grave right now if he had any inkling as to how far gone his party was.

This morning I felt better but now after a days worth of errand running and some light housework, I’m feeling meh, icky. I am thinking that I succumbed to food poisoning from Saturday afternoon when we ate out before going to the mall, unless it was some 24 hour bug. I only hope that tomorrow I feel better because this Wednesday is the day for my biopsy and I don’t want to go in for the procedure while feeling under the weather. I do want to get the biopsy over with because this waiting period is worse than knowing anything bad. Once you know, then you can act. If it is nothing, then case is over and I won’t have it lingering in my head, popping up in my dreams.

The Changing of Seasons

Crocus

I notice the sun setting later on in the day. That already starts lifting the winter blues. There is no better medicine than sunlight streaming through your window or shining directly on your face. The emergence of all those early bulbs such as crocus and snow drops; they are the harbingers of spring to come. Lightens the spirit and the mind.
