Hi, Ramona!

Yes, we're a club full of strong opinionated folks who detest the idea of a "party line". But we all agree that people matter more than money, and that civil rights, justice, equality and peace are worth fighting for. We're not losers, though our organization skills could use some work.

Breaks are necessary equalizers - I learned that in group therapy. Apparently there's something called a life outside of politics ... but that could be a Republican trick.

Terrific, Barefooted! We're

Terrific, Barefooted! We're a club! I took a little break; it was great at first but it didn't last long. We're political animals, even though we're usually on the losing side. But enough about that--the good thing is. . .we're on the right, um, left, um, best side.

Really. We are. ~~We're~~ You're the best.

I hope you like Yogurt

I'm Mr. Smith, and I'm a politiholic. Proof? I kept these flyers that I handed out at a shopping mall when I was a senior in high school.

Thanks, Oxy.

Hi, Richard!

You have the most important job of all, and it's one you're uniquely qualified to do: herd cats. Specifically, politiholic cats. We're usually sort of scruffy and prone to hairballs but we do tend to purr in unison (if you can call it purring). Our claws are retractable, although they can occasionally get stuck in the "out for blood" position. It's just what we do.

As our therapist, you'll have to make us laugh, think and breathe deeply while giving us historical perspective and hope for the future. And music, Dick, lots of music.

You're the perfect man for the job! Just let me apologize in advance for ... well ... you'll see. Oops!

Hi, trkingmomoe!

Well it's settled, then - I want you for my Stability Sister. Calming Coach. Breathing Buddy. Freak Out Friend? Whatever it's called, you're it. I hope you don't mind if I call you in the dead of night, or drop by unannounced for breakfast. I can be a little needy.

Very special family history you have there, momoe. And there's no doubt that you've made your Aunt Mary proud.

Hi, Mr. Smith1!

You're up whenever you're ready, we all know how hard it can be.

(Really bad coffee's on the card table. Steer clear of the week old doughnuts, they'll break your teeth.)

Hi, stillidealistic!

Yeah, don't get me started on 2016 - I'm fresh out of rehab over the midterms last year. I overdosed on the election results, the only thing that saved me was Scott Brown losing to a woman again.

Commenting to the willfully ignorant (aka arguing with the stupid) is a weird rush of maddening adrenaline. Avoiding the siren song of the activity is on page one of the Politiholics Manual ... but you know how it is. After all, there's always a chance they'll change their mind. Right?
