Are We Great, Yet? (Part One)

February 28, 2017February 28, 2017 by GrayMatters

(I found that awesome photo when I was looking for a stock photo of children’s hands – it’s credited to Huffington Post) Hate is taught. I’m not saying hate hasn’t always been around, but I am saying we teach it to those around us, to our children. Sometimes we don’t mean to. A comment in …

Us And Them (follow-up with link)

February 27, 2017March 21, 2017 by GrayMatters

I first posted about this shooting on 24 February (Us And Them). Since I am not the president I have the luxury of time to think about things before I speak out, but what I don’t have is a staff to remind me what my job is when something terrible like this happens. 45 has …

Meme photos: Education Secretary Betsy Devos next to character The Church Lady played by Dana Carvey The news is getting to be tiring. I don’t mean in the way that it makes you tired; I mean in the way that you’re exhausted in your bones, and the thought of checking headlines can make you want …

Us And Them

February 24, 2017March 21, 2017 by GrayMatters

There will be more posts on guns and bigots soon, as this shooting (in Olathe, Kansas) has set off a fire storm in my brain. It’s been building for a long time, but for now I must vent. When some of this anger and frustration has waned, and when I have organized some thoughts, I will …

Myth and Fallacy T-Shirt Man

February 22, 2017February 22, 2017 by GrayMatters

To the grinning, white guy photographed wearing his pro-Trump gear including his “Jesus Died for You/Trump Lives for You” t-shirt: You poor idiot. Jesus didn’t die for me or for you. Did he ever live? Did he even die? I mean, if he’s back up in three days that doesn’t count as some great sacrifice, …

Believe Them The First Time

February 21, 2017March 27, 2017 by GrayMatters

One of 45’s favorite phrases is “believe me.” He says some idiotic or outrageous thing or follows up an obvious lie with “believe me.” 45’s voters say they believe in him, but not to believe him; don’t take what he says literally. We’re hearing from 45’s voters how they regret their vote now. They didn’t literally …

President’s Day 2017

February 20, 2017March 27, 2017 by GrayMatters

In the past, this holiday has always been a casual glance back at presidents before. For me it’s especially about Lincoln as I have some admiration for his work. When I worked at the bank, it was also a cool holiday, an opportunity to catch up on work or on house work, whichever needed to be …

Cart Before The Horse

February 14, 2017February 14, 2017 by GrayMatters

Why are we reviewing and voting on cabinet appointments when we haven’t even tried to find out if the president is really the president? He’s clearly been in violation of the Emoluments Clause since before he was elected but certainly from the first day of his term. We have reason to believe 45 and at …
