  • Ella James is unhappy


    our granddaughter EJ just heard someone isn’t voting this year

    What’s the problem?

    Please put a smile on our granddaughter’s face and make a plan to vote Tuesday, November 3rd., or before. Voter turnout – make America safe and sane again.

  • it’s going to be beautiful


    Superlative in Chief is in the home stretch of his re-election campaign, and these final laps are going to be the greatest finish ever seen since the beginning of time, regardless of the outcome.

    If you don’t believe it, just ask trumpty dumpty (not original but I wish I had thought of it) who sat on a wall perched for a fall.

    Covid, covid, covid – the vaccine is on the way – what’s the big deal? It’s going to be the greatest vaccine ever invented by the most brilliant medicine men in the entire universe which includes millions of Star Trek galaxies our prominent new Space Force will explore forever and ever.

    Who cares that more than 225,000 Americans have died in that fake news story? If it weren’t for my amazing Coronavirus Task Force led by my – who did I say led that anyway? – more than a million Americans would have died by now. That’s right. More than a million if not for my leadership and appointing that  – who did I appoint for the most fabulous leadership in the history of the world other than me, of course?

    Oh Mike, the guy with the fly in his hair. I always said he was a loser.

    ********************

    I never knew I could be this tired of superlatives, but then I’ve never had a president whose entire method of communication consisted of superlatives mastered in an elementary private school.

    Clearly my endorsements of Joe Biden for President, Kamala Harris for Vice President and Jaime Harrison for Senator from South Carolina  are the most stupendous recommendations of my lifetime. I can’t wait for this election to be over next week, but I will gladly wait for all the votes to be counted.

    It’s going to be beautiful.

    Stay safe, stay sane, stay tuned and please VOTE as if our democracy depends on it. That would be correct.

  • grandmothers for a brighter future


    Thirteen days until Election 2020 here in the USA, and of the countless texts, emails and snail mail from the candidates for the Senate in our home state of South Carolina, this piece that arrived at our home today is my favorite:

    Pretty and I have arrived

    Apparently Iran and Russia have been unable to locate us in their attempts to interfere with the upcoming election because we haven’t had any communication from them. Nonetheless, it’s comforting to know that Grandmothers for a Brighter Future found Pretty and me with no problem. Many thanks to the Dem activists in Eugene, Oregon for their postcard party supporting Jaime Harrison for the US Senate from South Carolina. We all need hope for a brighter future for our children and grandchildren.

    Another thank you to Pope Francis today for his warm welcome of homosexuals to be a part of his family by recognizing civil unions for same-sex couples. Baby steps, your Holiness, but definitely in the right direction.

    Stay safe, stay sane and please stay tuned. Make your plan to VOTE.
