I didn’t post yesterday’s post, a nasty little bourbon infused rant about the presidency. I will do so, and I hope I do so quickly before it goes into that dark little place where all the Monday posts have been disappearing for a time. Fact is, I don’t do well with transcribing my writing to the digital realm. I’m not about that life. Lately I’m about hanging on and trying to manage things the best I can before they fall apart. If it sounds dire that is because it should be. I’m behind on grading, behind on writing, behind on cleaning, and close to the point where all of that seems like it ought to be swept under a rug to start fresh. Call it a life-management bankruptcy. The sad part is the workload is actually manageable provided a basic structure. The problem is I cannot seem to get myself to properly build that structure.
I’m trying. Still Still Still trying so very hard at this in a time where I feel like I ought to be paying less attention to the dozen balls I am juggling and more to the nonsense spewing from the mouths of our political leaders. I can say one thing about that: Hypocrisy is on full display. Anyone who bothers to listen to the Republican rhetoric from 2008 ought to see very clear parallels to how the Dems are behaving. Moreover, they ought to see how the Republicans who condemn said behavior displayed those exact behaviors back in the day and felt completely righteous for doing so and have before and will again.
It is Elephants and Donkeys all the way down.
