AND THE Pay to Play Corruption just keeps rolling along...

As regards the 'high and mighty' Catholic church, it's been said before: "the Roman curia and the bishops, above all other things, is a cult of misogyny. But that would be too simple a reading. At its heart, the Catholic church hierarchy is a cult of POWER; misogyny is but one 'tool' for the already powerful to ensure that power remains firmly in their possession".

...and these are

not "alternative facts"!

Talk About Crowd Size!!!

WOMEN ARE THE BACKBONE OF AMERICA...

TOMORROW IS VERY SPECIAL ...1-8-2017

XOXOX,

Dear Lara Elisabeth!

IT COMES AROUND EVERY YEAR... DOES IT NOT?

SO, WHAT MIGHT WE SAY?

POLITICAL ADIEU, 2016

So what might we say

Of this year almost spent?

In the wake of past promises,

Burdened and bent.

Great truth bore injustice,

Gentle souls sought their armor;

While pundits parsed pardons,

Toasting tea-party clamor.

As despots and allies

Collided, mid-air;

Their dangerous discourse

Seemed too much to bear.

Yet, binary schisms not

Only bring sorrow;

But a lonelier discord,

Insipid and borrowed.

May the cosmos forgive us,

This assault on our senses;

One of epic proportions:

For it razed moral fences.

May the [good]force be with us all, come 2017.
