Nightmare on Pennsylvania Avenue

Today seemed like a dream. A terrible, horrible, dark and painful dream.

I heard that Secretary Clinton gave a lovely speech. I won't be able to watch it for five years.

I am disappointed.

I am shocked beyond what I perceived to be humanly possible.

I am as heartbroken as I have ever been in my life.

I have no hope for the next four years. None. Our country has been kidnapped by a mob of vulgar nationalist thugs and thrown into a deep, cold, snake-infested dungeon.

All I can do now is focus on my work and my family, and from time to time, ask my senators and my representative to be bold and tough and fight like mad.
