I am a father, husband, unabashed cat owner, writer of mysteries, and family chief cook and bottle washer. I have reached a point in my life where I hope I have perspective. I try to understand those who disagree with me, I try to help those who need it, and I usually try to see the best in people. Enjoy my posts, disagree with my posts; it doesn't matter. If I make you laugh or challenge an assumption, then my words have not been wasted.

Who cares :-)
If he dies, I hope he does so with panache on stage. For the first time, he is going to be with a professional company.

My son, Mac, is at Butler University studying classical Ballet. He has been asked to perform in one scene of Romeo and Juliet with the Indianapolis Ballet. He is going to be a Capulet! Okay, his character’s name is “Man With Sword,” but he is going to be in two shows with a professional Ballet troupe!
They needed extras for the performance, and they asked for him.
THIS IS SO COOL!!!!

I saw this in the NYTimes this morning. It made me laugh out loud, so I wanted to share it with you.
“In our Trump-era politics, there’s always the question of how crazy is too crazy — how disruptive and extreme an elected official can get before becoming so embarrassing that members of her own team feel compelled to abandon her?
Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene seems to have reached that outer limit. Again.
It’s not simply that Ms. Greene has taken such a Putin-pleasing approach to Russia’s war in Ukraine (Ukrainian Nazis? Really?) that the term “useful idiot” feels unavoidable. She has, in very little time, undermined the influence of her party’s entire right flank, driving less unhinged Republicans — most notably the House speaker, Mike Johnson — to brush back her and her ilk like the poo-flinging chaos monkeys they are."*

Even the most casual observer realizes that today’s Republican Party is a failure. The adults have fled into retirement or other fields, leaving the children to throw tantrums and mug for the camera or their leader, Trump. Nobody should be surprised at this. It was the inevitable outcome of electing fools, con men or women, and the selfish who just want to score a buck for themselves.
Furthermore, when confronted with the awareness that their ship is sinking, they double down on the absurd instead of actually trying to govern.
The Nation is watching.
