Why I'm NOT Feeling The Bern

From the Internet

So, Is everybody ready?

Tonight is the first Democratic Debate.  

Despite Donald Trump not being there, and despite what Mr. Trump thinks, I will be watching.

Monday, Monday; BACK TO SCHOOL Prep.

From Back To School, August 2013

     Well, it's Monday, 10 days before the first day of the new school year.  This week my daughters find out which homeroom teacher they'll be blessed with; and perhaps more importantly, what friends will share their fate.
      Got the backpacks, and the lunch boxes.  Clothes are another matter, entirely.  The older, says she's good for the most part, but wants to focus on being a tad more kawaii.   If you are an unsavvy parent such as I, kawaii means cute; fashionable.  Honestly, I have not been under a rock.  My younger, wants an entirely new wardrobe, but I know better.  This is the one, who will wear the same outfit three times a week, regardless of what she has.  So, we'll see.
   
     The reason for my writing this post, is a video that I saw of LAST WEEK TONIGHT WITH JOHN OLIVER,  that's about Sex Ed.
What better time to share this video and a few thoughts on the matter, than in a back to school post?

Newt Gingrich Called...

     Politicians, Nonprofits Organizations, and businesses that rely on telemarketing, would get so much more support from me if there was a human being on the other end of the line- when they call me to promote a candidate, save the whales, or sell a home security system.  Not all the phones in our house have caller ID, thus why I answer these calls.
     Newt Gingrich phoned the other day.  I'm not a fan.  He was promoting a GOP candidate for some office.  Honestly- he had me at "Hi, this is Newt Gingrich".  Excellent.  I said "hello, is this a human?" just wanted to be sure it was a recording, and it was!  Golden opportunity.  I was also not best pleased to clamor out of the bathroom, dodge toys in the hall, maneuver around the bed, to answer the phone; just to get one of these calls.  So, given my daughters were at school, I could use any language I darn well pleased,  I proceeded to unload my thoughts about a few other choice topics to Mr. Gingrich, over top of the recording.  Mature? Nope.  Cathartic?  Not really.  However, I can't say, that after Newt and I hung up, I felt it was totally without merit.  Strange.
