Month: April 2011

Maybe I’ll write something later about the dream I had.  It was a classic “get me out of here” scream and I’m feeling solemn as a result. Then I got online and checked Google Reader.  And found this gem by Sepia Mutiny, a really great blog that combines social criticism and pop fun.

I just did the weirdest thing. I sent a message to the President of the United States of America, Barack Obama. This is out of character and it makes me wonder – how else will I be spurred to take action if things continue as they’re going. The message is short and there is much more I could have said, but here it is in its brief glory. My message to the President: I’m horrified to hear you tout budget cuts as the right move.  You won us over with your insistence on smart, people-supporting spending.  Oh, and that whole anti-war thing.  I’ve been uncomfortable with your actions around the wars and now I feel attacked here at home with your new budget.  Tax and spend, baby – it’s the only way to win us back.  Spread the wealth or lose us completely.
