I've been trying to avoid the news feeds today. Unless it's weather. Or something very local. I'm not hiding, but when every day brings the same horrific nonsense, one needs to protect one's sanity, right? Our country has devolved into a clown show, albeit one with a huge nuclear arsenal. Yesterday was it, an unelected , South African con man was briefing the press in the Oval Office. The actual President of the United States sat quietly at his desk looking morose and bored. Between them was the con man's four year old son. The kid was looking into the camera, picking his nose like he was mining for gold. As they say, you can't make this shit up.
