Dear President Biden, I’m a few days late getting started, but this morning I decided that the thing to give up for Lent is reading any news articles or opinions that are clearly about DJT. It’s time to kick that habit. After so many years of digging into whatever nasty thing he was up to …
Let’s accelerate around the evil rot monsters
Dear President Biden, Thank you for officially putting us back in the Paris Climate Agreement today and for representing US and democracy at the G-7. I bet there were a lot of people who were very happy to see you and very happy to have us back on track. I also bet there are a …

We need the best PR people to debunk the “extreme winter weather = no global warming” B.S.
Dear President Biden, It’s so great that it didn’t ever occur to me that you wouldn’t declare disasters in some states because of how they did or didn’t vote for you – of course you’d do what needed to be done whether as state is “red” or “blue.” Obviously the issue is in play because …
A gratitude haiku
Dear President Biden, In honor of Presidents Day here is a haiku for you: You have trained for thisnearly your entire lifetimeand I am grateful. I am wondering, though, why is it “Presidents Day” and not “President’s Day”? I just double-checked and learned that we’ve had this holiday since 1796 to honor George Washington’s birthday …
The smashed pickle jar
Dear President Biden, Happy Valentine’s Day! I hope you and Dr. Biden had a good day. The Sweetart-like hearts she had installed on the lawn at your place are pretty darn adorable. Right in keeping with the cookies she distributed to the National Guard folks when they were looking out for everyone there in DC …
The existential toll of confronting evil
Dear President Biden, I probably would have been just as moved, just as saddened and angered by DC police officer Jeffrey Smith’s death by suicide after the insurrection if he and his wife were going to celebrate their 2nd wedding anniversary today instead of February 2nd – the same day Laura and I celebrated our …
On behalf of US
Dear President Biden, Whenever the WP’s Robin Gavhin contributes an editorial I try to save it for last so that I can take her with me into whatever I’m doing next. She has a way of being able to do her truth telling quietly – no bombast, no righteous indignation, no loudness whatsoever. I’m sure …
Equality and equity and EO #13985
Dear President Biden, We just watched a short clip that Julius Goat posted on Twitter of you talking about the stimulus package and your desire to get ‘er done even without the Republicans. He tagged it with something like “I know what I hate and I don’t hate this,” which, from JG, is high praise …
Facets of work ~ we need to consider them all
Dear President Biden, It was nice of you and Jill to do that interview with People Magazine so we could get a tiny glimpse into your life together. I know such pieces are considered fluff and are generally meant to burnish images and make people on high seem more relatable, but I think that getting …

In the wake of trauma
Dear President Biden, Have you had a chance to talk with any of the Congress people who were inside the Capitol on January 6th during the attempted self-coup? I’m guessing you’ve made a point to touch base with at least some of them since you seem like the kind of person who would want to …
