Let Us Not Be Surprised

@wdlindsy I am in full withdrawal of news, cable, CSPAN....even my favorite podcasts and YouTube programs.

I took time to read this article about the horrific choices of celebrities to lead important federal agencies.

Thank you for helping me get back to public discourse...it will take some more time.

Really America...a convicted rapist?
