A Christmas Wish

 

Donald helped me bring in a few Christmas boxes from the storage building today.

Yes, I know, it's a little early.

And, truth be told, our Christmas decorating has dwindled in recent years.

But.

If our Christmas wish comes true this year, I intend to deck these halls like my name is Cindy-Lou Who,  the oh so happy happy little girl from Whoville in “How the Grinch Stole Christmas”

If you haven't voted yet, go do it!

And Vote Blue!!!

Vote! Vote! Vote!

Early voting is happening right now in North Carolina.

I voted last week.

Today I went downtown to help pass out some campaign literature for the Democrats.

I shared my corner with an ASU student who was timidly passing out literature for the Republicans.  He told me he was doing this as a school project, but really, didn't care all that much who won.

Before I left, a woman came to join our corner to pass out campaign literature for a particular judge.

She relayed a story about how she was worried about Thanksgiving at her mother's house this year.  Seems her family is split in how they're voting.  It hasn't been a pleasant split and she doesn't think this year's Thanksgiving will be any too pleasant either.  Her mother's main concern is whether everyone will actually stay long enough to finish eating the meal she'll be preparing.

And, once again, (I had a similar experience when I was doing some campaigning for Sue Counts) I had a gentleman stop on his way out of the polling area to tell me he has always voted Republican. Until this year. This year he is ashamed to be a Republican. I hugged his neck. I "think" we both had a couple of tears in our eyes.

Have you voted?

If not, please go vote.

It's never been more important.

Some women are angry - others?? God help them, not at all

This morning I've seen some Facebook posts from people rationalizing why they're still casting their vote for Trump. 

And damned proud of it. 

Way to go, people. 

You women who are so determined to stand by your man? 

Oh yes, do go tell the world you think it's fine for a man to call you names and trivialize who you are. 

And you'll still vote for him to be the president of this country!! (you're an idiot - what can I say?!) 

Destroy in one fell swoop the things women before you fought for. 

But do not, do not, do this in the name of patriotism. 

Do not dare do this in the name of God. 

And LordAMercy - can we leave Bill Clinton out of this - he is not running for anything this year. 

And the next time you act outraged over how women, or anyone other than privileged white men, are treated in other countries? 

Please just shut up. 

Look in the mirror and know you're a hypocrite of the worst kind.
