October 1st, Akron Ohio-

A ninety year-old woman named Addie shot herself in the chest with an old shotgun. The house that she had called home for nearly forty years had just fallen out of her control due to foreclosure. And can you blame her? At ninety, you lose all that you can call your own. All you worked your whole life for is snatched away by the bank. So what can you do? Set the keys to your house neatly next to your purse and life-insurance policy papers on the bureau.... sit down on your bed, and pull the trigger I suppose.

Rest in peace, Addie Polk.

I've never considered myself politically charged by one party or the other. The continued bickering has always seemed the signs of what surely would become a crumbled system. The Democrats promised massive change when they took control of the House and the Senate two years ago. TWO YEARS AGO. I understand that some things are difficult to alter with a staunch Republican holding the power to veto. But at least have the balls to TRY something before your country falls to shambles. I wish blame would stop being flung, and everyone in the political world would just man up (or woman up.... Ms. Pelosi....) and take some of the fucking blame for themselves. "I fucked up." Not too hard to say especially when everyone knows it's the truth.
