So, I don't really talk about politics on here! That's not why you're here, and there are hundreds of other folks to follow. But today I can't help myself. Today, there's too much to think about, too much to chew on, too much wrong to just remain silent.

Today, I was talking to my hair stylist - idle chatter to fill time - and I mentioned I was reading the news. She asked me if anything was happening, and what she should know.

I downplayed it. How could I not?
