Tell Me No Lies

If you're anything like me, tonight is one night when you definitely want to have plans. You do not want to be sitting around with nothing to do when the Liar in Chief gets on TV and starts spinning yarns about how his second term will be so much better because he had to spend the first one undoing all the damage left by his terrible, horrible, no-good, very bad predecessor. And then out will stroll a waving Michelle Obama, playing the Miss America song in her head, wearing one of those $900-but-still-somewhow-trampy dresses and a toothy grin, and Gramps Biden and his wife the Doctor, all of them millionaires but yet "they feel for you," each spewing the convoluted half-truths concocted by consultants, strategists and speechwriters, hitting all the high notes except for the highest one about how he's already the president and guess what? It's not good...

This morning I went for a haircut and asked my Latvian stylist if she has been watching the political conventions. (She came here from Russia about ten years ago, is an American citizen and plans to vote in our upcoming election.) She shook her head adamantly and said, "No, I don't watch any of that. They all lie."

  1. I just saw 2016. Every American regardless of their political affiliation, should see this movie. In great detail it tells the story of how Obama came to believe what he believes and who guided him through all this. It is totally based on facts cause all the folks are quoted in their own words. Fascinating and terribly unsettling. Bye Bye Israel if he gets elected.
