On Twitter, the thing I probably write most often is “Betsy DeVos is a monster” in reply to stories about her.
Now, if you don’t know much about DeVos, you might be thinking, “OK, I get that you don’t agree with her policies, but she’s not an actual monster.”
To which I say, “Oh, she is.”
I don’t listen to a lot of country music. In fact, since Trump’s “election,” I haven’t listened to anything other than heavy metal (it’s honestly the only music that makes sense right now). Still, I do love me some Johnny Cash and Dolly Parton.
While the nation has been grappling with the fact that we have too many guns, another thing we have too many of that gets less attention: children in the foster-care system.
When I was a kid, I knew of Bermuda only from songs, specifically “Kokomo” by the Beach Boys (“Bermuda, Bahama, come on pretty mama”) and “Bermuda Triangle” by Barry Manilow, a mysterious love story of sorts that includes the lyric, “Lying with my woman on the island sand.” Ha ha ha. It’s funny because Manilow is gay.
Confession: I haven’t been watching the Olympics. I’m not against it or anything. I just have other shit to do.
