A Cancer in the Body Politic

Posted by on in Culture Blogs

Types of Melanoma with Pictures

"I feel like we're waiting for the results of an STD test," said a friend the other day.

I've been looking for the perfect metaphor to capture my sense of the harrowing ride we've been on here in America for the last while. So thank you, Keridwyn, for giving it to me.

Tr*mp is a cancer in the Body Politic.

Election Day 2024. Today's the operation. Whether or not we'll survive remains to be seen.

Well, I'm off to work the polls: hard work, but sacred work.

Gods help America. Gods help us all.

Poet, scholar and storyteller Steven Posch was raised in the hardwood forests of western Pennsylvania by white-tailed deer. (That's the story, anyway.) He emigrated to Paganistan in 1979 and by sheer dint of personality has become one of Lake Country's foremost men-in-black. He is current keeper of the Minnesota Ooser.
