I know Hillary, I love Hillary. Lady, you're no Hillary.

McCain's choice for his Veep is a ploy to snatch away women voters who had been supporting Hillary. At least, that's what the pundits are saying. But I say if that's the case, it's extremely insulting to women. How dare they think that I'm going to blindly follow anyone simply because she's a SHE. This particular SHE is, from what little I've been able to scrape up on her, anti-environment, anti-choice, anti-gay-rights, knows nothing about foreign policy, has a husband who works for an oil company, looks like she could be McCain's granddaughter, annoyingly reminds me of SNL's Tina Fey and, truth be told, her ability to pick quality names for her children has been called into question.

A friend pointed out that this stoutly conservative 44-year-old Alaska governor's five children are named Track, Bristol, Willow, Piper and Trig.

My husband then quipped:
Her kids' names sound like a dog sled team.

She's also has a very poor track record when it comes to supporting endangered wildlife. I look forward to her disappearing back to Alaska when her & McCain lose in a few months.

She seems like a very nice lady. She probably has some pet penguins. And igloos. Not to mention that she is the only one of the four with any leadership experience. She is the longtime mayor of Wasilla Alaska and a runner up in the Miss Alaska pageant. She is a hunter so she will be able to carry out the duty of the VP requiring her to shoot her friends. And if anyone doubts her imagination and creativity, just look at the names of her kids (Trig? Isn't that a math class?). It was a great choice because I think that with this choice McCain is a certainty to win Alaska (Al Gore couldn't even carry his home state when he was running for president). Good job John, and good luck.

No kidding. All McCain is trying to do is steal headlines away from Obama. There is absolutely no depth to his choice. Prior to the meeting they all had before this was announced, he'd only even met the woman ONCE. I don't like her one bit. (and her kids' names do sound like a dog sled team! Bravo, Tim)

So, I Changed My Mind

More than four years ago, the blog and I parted ways. I needed a change. A whole lot happened in my world since then. I switched jobs a couple times. My kid went from an elementary school tween to a teenage high schooler. We built a new house and moved. Both my parents and my sister have passed. The world around me changed as well. Mass shootings, racism, the #metoo movement, a misogynistic bigoted narcissist in the White House ... go ahead, add to the list. Toss your woes into this dumpster fire we call 2019.  I appreciate my previous sentiment, that I was no longer wandering. But let's be honest, we're all trying to find our way through this mess. I decided to reboot the blog to give myself a creative outlet, a way to sort through the confusion and frustration and attempt to make sense of it all. I have a voice, and I'm not keen to silence it anymore. Guess what? I'm back, bitches.

In memoriam...

I remember the first time I heard the name "Les Anderson." A bunch of Wichita State University communication majors were sitting around on campus, talking about classes they planned to take. Several people warned me: watch out for Les Anderson. He was tough. He had a murderous grading scale. It was nearly impossible to get an A. They weren't kidding. But he wasn't tough just to be a tyrant. From his teaching sprang a fleet of incredible, successful journalists, writers, editors, broadcasters, public relations experts, advertisers, non-profit professionals...I could go on and on. Most importantly, he created a legion of people who wanted to make a difference in the world. The greatest gift Les gave to them all? He believed in them, cared about them for their own personal stories as well as the stories they told for class assignments or in the pages of his hometown newspaper. Les was my teacher. My boss. My mentor. My conscience. My champion. My friend. When I started c...
