there is SO much to effing SAY, about everything.
(when is there not? but for real, right now, wooboy.)
but yesterday, as i was driving home from practice with npr rolling through the car along with the heat on full, my soaked hair finally starting to defrost, and amidst other headlines, there was a bit that went something like "president [heart still skips a beat] obama instituted a pay freeze today that will hold salaries at their current levels for washington employees who make $100,000 or more, saying that 'families are tightening their belts, and so should washington.'"
it was the smallest of moments, the news went on, i parked the car, went into our warm house. its just one thing our president did that day. you could say this isn't a big deal, say it isn't enough. were all tightening our belts, so should washington. its common sense. but it hasnt been common sense for eight long years. it is one small decision, on one Wednesday out of four (pssh, eight) years worth. but it made my heart burst all over again, because
DAMN.
This is Happening.
