A creative before it was a noun. Writer since 1973. Poetry, magazines, fiction, books, on-line. Has lived in four countries and on three Canadian coasts, twice on boats. Empiricist: show me the evidence. Working on empathy: we are all one. God is an iron.
Whenever I read about this phenom, I'm reminded of the alleged origin of mad cow disease, which was feeding cattle on feed that included the brains of previously slaughtered cattle. The analogy is too perfect.

And your ambassador to my country scolds and swears at us (yeah, literally) for not wanting to travel to your dumpster fire.

Such self-awareness the American power 'elite' have.

"getting money and special interest groups OUT of politics"

Citizens United opened the door and let the horse out on that one.

but fwiw other countries limit money in politics and take districting out of the hands of partisans.

Prepping the defence for the Pedo-in-Chief. If she was 13, it wasn't raping a child.

A friend of mine is a retired Canadian librarian who served on the executive of international associations of librarians. They recently cancelled their planned attendance at a conference in Oklahoma rather than risk crossing the border.

When a country is scared of librarians it has lost its senses.

"Condescending" doesn't begin to cover it.
