To mix my movie quotes, C&L, I just can't quit ya.
Hello, gang, long time no see!
My beloved Amato thought that poor Heather and Karoli needed a day off, for crying out loud, and asked me to come back to share my hatewatching of the Sunday news shows. Those of you who are friends with me on Facebook know that I can get quite voluble on the subject.
And what a time to come back! I've spent some of the time I've been away working with kids on developing their creative writing skills. But this election season is like no story I can imagine being written. In fact, I suspect that pretty much every publishing house would turn down the story of this election season as being too far-fetched to be believable. And yet, here we are. The spin doctors will be on, spinning their yarns, trying to convince us that the election is still up for grabs, that The Donald is a Very Serious Candidate, that the GOP isn't imploding before our very eyes. I'll toss you a spoiler: it's all a giant fiction.
