What’s been keeping me busy during the day and awake half the night of late? Oh just this:
And reading this, which so many of you told me on Twitter that I’d love, and you were right.
And this:
- The state of the economy.
- The fact that my middle child is turning seven.
- The erosion of reproductive justice in this country and the possible effects it will have on my children.
- The thought of how the everloving fuck I’m going to pay for college for three kids.
- The worry that a single trip to the ER — much less a serious, long-term illness! — would pretty much wipe me out financially, as my insurance is for shit.
- The certain knowledge of how very much worse things will be if Herman Cain, Rick Perry or Mitt Romney succeed twelve months from now.
Worry does no good, I know, but it’s getting to the point that I long for the days when the worst thing I could imagine was the coming zombie apocalypse.
Discworld is AWESOME. Hint: you might realize where I got my alias.
Heyyyyyy! :)
It could be worse; Barack Obama could start implementing all of George Bush’s “War on terror” policies and start randomly declaring war and firing Hellfire missiles from CIA drones at anybody he didn’t like, or who might serve as a good photo op target.
Oh, wait, that’s what Obama IS doing…..
Obama has killed more Arab dictators in 3 years than Bush did in 8.
As for Perry and Cain – I think you’re quite safe from your fears about this.
