31. I don't really care, either.

Dec 2022

I feel like grave dancing may not be my thing. When Rush died, I breathed a sigh of relief and said "Good riddance." I was glad he was gone, but felt no other emotion beyond that. I don't blame anyone for doing a graveyard dance for him, just didn't feel the urge myself.

Sometimes I wonder what I'll feel when TFG is gone, other than enormous relief. I definitely believe the world will be a better place without him in it.

I will not miss Kirstie Alley, and I will neither mourn nor celebrste her passing. Whatever views she held, I'm sure she did not do a tiny fraction of the damage done by either Trump or Limbaugh to this country or the world as a whole.
