The Nature of Things

Sitting here at my computer, watching the rain from Hurricane (now Tropical Storm) Harvey come down for the fourth day in a row and remembering that just days before our president had rolled back President Obama's flood standards for infrastructures , I can only wonder at the long-term effects of his spiteful acts.  Then I saw this parody that my daughter posted on Facebook. Bitter humor, but it expresses perfectly what is happening. It may be Houston that is drowning today, but tomorrow, without laws to protect us, it could be anywhere in America. 

It's been a long week of seemingly one battle after another and not much progress made. I think we all need a pep talk. I love it! I'd definitely vote for that kid president.

We're going into the Labor Day weekend after a week of hot air filled with blatant lies swirling around Tampa. Hurricane Isaac may have done a lot of damage in Mississippi and Louisiana, but Hurricane Romney/Ryan has certainly done more damage to our body politic. Not to mention the truth. Oh, well, let's forget all of that for the moment. We need something to make us smile. And here it is. If this doesn't make your edges of your lips twitch upward, there's probably no hope for you. Happy Labor Day weekend! Be safe.
