The following Representatives sat silent through the entire speech of Volodymyr Zelenskyy:

  • Matt Gaetz
  • Lauren Boebert
  • Andrew Clyde
  • Dianne Harshbarger

I'm sure that Vladmir Putin (former KGB/GRU agent) would feel quite happy.

An open letter to Rep. John Larsen

 


Rep. John Larsen (D)


Rep. Larsen:  Up until I voted - up until that very minute - I was going to hold my nose, and despite my grave misgivings, I was going to vote for you.  Then I noticed there was a Green Party candidate.  I voted  for her.

Realistically, Mary had no chance of winning.  My vote was purely a protest vote.  Why did I not vote for you?   First, your total lack of interest in voters once you are elected.  I'm not asking for you to agree with me 100 percent.  That's silly.  But what I AM asking is a letter or e-letter.  And no, robocalls don't count.  Geez, a short paragraph or two would be nice.

You want to regain my vote?  Take the time and write your constituents.  Or leave, and allow a  younger person to fill the gap.

Madoka no Himitsu (Madoka's Secret) (manga)

When we first meet Madoka, it is a little bit saccharine.  However, it's well worth the wait of getting through.  Madoka is a longtime transgender girl (In Japan, the word 'he' is used)  [full name- Yamada Madoka]  The first clue is not something we, as English-speakers, would take note of. Madoka uses 'he', but the name, Madoka, is a girl's name.  After she is introduced by the teacher, she takes her seat.  Itsuki snubs her.  Madoka picks up an eraser, but still Itsuki is very curt.  Rather than take offense, she thinks it's manly and cool.


Later,  when she goes around distributing kairanban  (neighborhood newspaper)  she crosses the Tanokana house.  When she is greeted by a black Shiba Inu dog, she falls in love. (By the way, I had a Spitz cross - very lovely!)  Then, Itsuki walks up, and is miffed by Madoka's dress.   Madoka slaps Itsuki, and Itsuki slaps Madoka.  Shortly thereafter, Hiroto (known early as 'big brother') sees Madoka, takes pity on her, and invites her in.  Itsuki takes note, and Hiroto introduces him... as a transgender boy.


I won't say too much more, other than to mention two other characters.  The first is good, the other, um, not so good.  The first is Mai, nemesis of the first two (and especially that of Itsuki).  She is very realistic,  understandable - if not heroic.  She's kinda like the Green Goblin in the Spider-man movies. You get her, even if you don't condone her.  The other is Takato, twin brother of Hiroto.  He swears revenge on Madoka... but does practically nothing.  'Throwaway' is defined here.


All in all, despite the hiccups, a good read.

just ONE vote...

 


Southington, CT


Just one vote.

No, it wasn't in far-off Nome, Alaska.  Nor was in a large state such as New York, California, or Florida.  It was just one town away, in Southington.  When we imagine small states such as Connecticut, we think erroneously of uniform legislatures.  True, Connecticut leans Democratic, but Southington doesn't fit this profile.  In fact, Southington has had some true knuckle-draggers.  

But not this time.

If one or two voters had stayed home this would be a different story.  What I'm saying to you is vote.  From President down to dog-catcher. I'm not saying this will an ironclad guarantee.  But you never know...
