Music Monday – “Marched into the capital brooding duplicitous/Wicked and able, media-ready/Heartless, and labeled/Super US citizen, super achiever/Mega ultra power dosing, relax/Defense, defense, defense, defense”

Originally about the Reagan years but the sentiment applies to most right-wing governments including Trump’s… “Ignoreland” – R.E.M. (Side note: “Ignoreland” is my least favourite song on probably my most favourite album of all-time.  Wish it had been on “Monster” instead.)

Two Big Battles I’m Watching Tonight…

Man, I hope the two Democrats win the Georgia run-off elections and the Democrats take control of the Senate.  After the long delay to confirm Biden as President-elect, this would be the cherry-on-top of delayed results! Less impactful but no less entertaining, I’m also hoping Team Canada can once again win Gold at the World […]

RIP Luke Letlow (Maybe?)

It’s an interesting question about how we should feel when someone makes bad, ill-informed choices that lead directly to their death. *Of course* every death is sad.  *But maybe* it’s not quite as sad when someone willingly makes a conscious choice to avoid even the most basic Covid precautions and then ends up dying of […]

Covid 19 Vaccine Arrives in Saskatchewan!

Have to admit Shea and I both had tears in our eyes watching the first two healthcare workers be vaccinated this evening in Regina (in the very hospital Shea works in and has worked in all year without a break) after what has been a long, strange, stressful year. There are a lot of reasons […]
