I long for the days when "That's probably true" was our default attitude about statements issued by

the White House.

I am sick and tired of having to review the fact checkers before I can feel like I MAY know what is being done in my name. We should not have to adopt the bent man-child in the Oval Office as a condition of being an informed citizen. And, you know what? I REFUSE to do that.

This twisted narcissist has used up any reasonable person's supply of "benefit of the doubt" and we are absolutely justified in simply DISbelieving anything he or his surrogates say. And, if you are at that point, as I am, don't we have to face the reality that our nation's is currently leaderless?

How long can we allow our ship of state to wallow on through rough seas with no one at the wheel?

Will we wait until we've ripped the bottom out on the reef before several million of us march on Washington?

day. sigh....

I can't sleep anymore without the tv or radio on--it becomes white noise, but I figure I'd wake up if an alert broke in of some consequence.

Oh, for the days of Obama back again. Having sanity in the WH seems like such a damned luxury now.
