Burned Out on Reality or Who Cares How Kamala Harris Spends $500?

 

A restlessness is pervading my soul. I’m tired of the horrid news, the insolubility of the issues, the repetitiveness of the ideas and my own inability to do something productive, when hopelessness seems impossible to shake off.

And this morning, I heard all the outrage about Kamala’s disgusting behavior in France when she bought a bowl and a pot at the insane price of $500—how dare she? When our own televisions and refrigerators are stalled indefinitely in storage containers in the ports of our great country.

Actually, and quite honestly, the only thing I found appalling about the Kamala story was that the conservatives were making a big deal out of her decision. Seriously?

Who cares?

We are on the brink of watching serious inflation rise and a gas shortage, dealing with the reality of 82,000 people brought from Afghanistan who were barely, or not vetted, at all, falling into the abyss of Marxism and Socialism, watching the President continue to descend into dementia, anticipating the winter surge of Covid and a new variant—can we please get serious?

Conservatives and Republicans are not well-served by our seizing on every petty action or statement made by the Left. Yes, I know they do it to us. But we are not them. It’s not like we don’t already have enough issues threatening the stability and traditions of our country.

Could we please focus?

    Harris’ pan shopping may be motivated by the social circles she runs in.

    Oh Lord, won’t you buy me
    A Mercedes Benz?
    My friends all drive Porsches
    I must make amends.

    My husband’s favorite Janis Joplin song.

    Even over “Me and Bobby McGee?”

    They’re all great, but please…“Ball and Chain”

    Nuthin’ but chills every time I hear her sing it.

    I don’t think I’ve ever heard it before, and I was in high school when Piece of My Heart came out.

    Janis Joplin, Jimmy Hendrix, Jim Morrison…all geniuses and all died way too young, but they made up for a youthful death by living life at 200%.

    Live fast, die young, and leave a good looking corpse?

    Guess I am 0 for 3.

    Let’s just say he sang the former to me. It wasn’t pretty.

    As best I can recall, Me and Bobby McGee was a Gordon Lightfoot song.

    I always associated it with Kris Kristopherson but what do I know?

    You were right. I just thought it was Gordon Lightfoot.

    In fairness, they share the same hair stylist.
