Enough already

Posted on November 8, 2016 by wonkydonkey

I vote in every election, though politics turns my stomach. It’s not a job I ever wanted. There isn’t a politician out there who hasn’t done dirty deals, lied to make themselves look better,  covered up something shady, flip-flopped on … Continue reading →

Open letter

Posted on October 1, 2014 by wonkydonkey

Posted on February 5, 2014 by wonkydonkey
