“Kakistocracy = a government of the least qualified and most unscrupulous.”

It would seem that the least of my worries right now is planting my herbs before it rains. Bob and I were outside this morning, on this beautiful Spring day, digging in the dirt. Along came two lovely girls who were looking at the house for sale next door and naturally we started chatting.

One girl fell in love with Bean, who was very happy to be loved until all her fur fell off. Then the young woman opened up and told me she is engaged and her fiance is deployed overseas, and she hasn’t heard from him in three days. Three days. He’s a Marine on a ship in the general area of Syria.

And I thought pardoning Scooter and talk/Tweeting about James Comey’s new book are fine ways to take our eyes off the ball. We are inching closer to a proxy war becoming a real war with Russia very quickly: http://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-43747922 And thatscares the crap out of me.

Just as this new Cold War is heating up, ex-CIA Chief John O Brennan Tweeted this to Mr T:

Your kakistocracy is collapsing after its lamentable journey. As the greatest Nation history has known, we have the opportunity to emerge from this nightmare stronger & more committed to ensuring a better life for all Americans, including those you have so tragically deceived.

I can only hope he’s right, that Trump’s house of cards will fall long before he manages to do any more harm. And if that young woman becomes our neighbor, that her Marine returns to her this summer. We’ll give him a block party!
