Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

I really should read my own blog.

If West Virginia and San Francisco had a love child.

Something needs to be done about our bogus SCOTUS.

Their boy Ron is an empty plastic cup that will never know pudding.

Trump makes a mockery of the legal system and cowardly judges just sit back and let him.

“Joe Biden deserved better than he got from some folks in his own party.”

Republicans are the party of chaos and catastrophe.

Putin must be throwing ketchup at the walls.

When your entire life is steeped in white supremacy, equality feels like discrimination.

The next time the wall street journal editorial board speaks the truth will be the first.

Sitting here in limbo waiting for the dice to roll

Live so that if you miss a day of work people aren’t hoping you’re dead.

They fucked up the fucking up of the fuckup!

“Jesus paying for the sins of everyone is an insult to those who paid for their own sins.”

Thanks to your bullshit, we are now under siege.

Why is it so hard for them to condemn hate?

Marge, god is saying you’re stupid.

“They not like us!” (that’s for sure!)

Let me file that under fuck it.

Sadly, media malpractice has become standard practice.

This must be what justice looks like, not vengeful, just peaceful exuberance.

Conservatism: there are people the law protects but does not bind and others who the law binds but does not protect.

Republicans in disarray!

Boeing: repeatedly making the case for high speed rail.

And she’s on tour, too.   Still too soon for me to be tempted by a very  indoor venue, assuming there were tickets to be had.   But these days, I’m just happy to see Happy Birthday! instead of R.I.P. on the Twitter timelines…

    Saw her when she opened for Hell Freezes Over tour. My friend tried to be late so he could just catch the Eagles; I told him for $75, I wanted both good acts.

    Glad to hear she’s still going strong. She was a wonderful role model when my daughter came out at age 15.

    I dragged my not-yet-Spousal Unit to our first Etheridge concert when we still lived in Michigan, and she was an ‘up & coming folk rocker’ doing relatively small venues. Then there the big outdoor-arena show in Foxborough (MA) when Our Little Secret was released… she wasn’t *quite* out of the closet at that point, but the audience was at least two-thirds women, and Spousal Unit got death stares from a few of them…

    Saw her again in Lowell, on her recovery tour (I Run for Life) , and most recently at Tanglewood, the summer before the pandemic, with the Boston Pops doing backup.

    (Pretty sure there were a couple other shows, but memory fails. And then there was the 2018 concert in NH where we had tickets, but Spousal Unit’s favorite brother decided to get married in Michigan that weekend, sigh… )
