Deliberate Practice

November 30, 2017December 1, 2017 by GrayMatters

Writing is fun for me. I know it’s strange, but writing has gotten me through some rough times. It helps me organize my thoughts as I work through a problem. It helps me release stress or frustration, to let it go. Between writing, reading, and music, sometimes I think that, given time, I could solve …

If I Had $99 Billion

November 29, 2017November 30, 2017 by GrayMatters

They’re not even trying anymore. The CBO is out, and all that bullshit Paul Ryan and the rest of the GOP have been shoveling our direction about much-needed tax breaks for the middle class and the poor? Yeah, they’re done lying about that. But we could still do our taxes on a postcard. Never mind …

Giving Thanks, Finding Balance 2017

November 23, 2017November 23, 2017 by GrayMatters

Weird things happen when you get old. Priorities change. Events come into focus. Life is like putting together a puzzle with no picture to guide you. There will come a point when you start to see what it’s probably going to look like if you ever finish it. There is still a lot of trial …

What About Clinton?

November 21, 2017November 22, 2017 by GrayMatters
Monica Lewinsky and Bill Clinton at the White House.

Fine. I’ll bite. Lately we find ourselves discussing the urgent and very serious current issues in our government, the sexual assaults, the investigation for conspiracy against the United States of America with Russia, the reverse Robin Hood the GOP has named “tax reform” in an effort to mislead the public. Instead of dealing with all …

Hello, Kettle?

November 17, 2017November 17, 2017 by GrayMatters
Pot and kettle.

We’ve been taking some time away from the reality TV because, to be perfectly honest, there’s been no way to spin any of this crooked bullshit as anything other than what it is: dangerous and stupid bullshit (or as John Oliver calls the Russia part of it, “Stupid Watergate”). In an attempt to keep things …

November 7, 2017November 21, 2019 by GrayMatters
Alice Paul risked her life so that the U.S. government would recognize women's right to vote. Exercise your right. Vote.

Alice Stokes Paul was born 11 January 1885 in New Jersey and was educated in the United States and in the UK (see links for details of her life). She worked tirelessly for the government to recognize women’s right to vote including marching and participating in demonstrations, enduring physical and verbal attacks from those who …

Halloween 2017: Candy From A Baby

November 1, 2017 by GrayMatters
I'm going as a Republican for Halloween this year.

So, it turns out DJT Jr. has a child. I know, right?! Free country. . . not sure what the mother was thinking, someone for everyone I guess (assuming Jr.’s not rapey like the old man) . . . but anyway, Jr. posted a picture of his little girl. With that photo, the president’s son …
