Writer's block is one thing--to just "dry up", not have anything to say. Then, there's finding yourself inarticulate with disbelief, disgust, deep sadness..... like when politicians prolong the suffering of a fellow human being in order to ingratiate themselves to religious fundamentalists with an eye to the next election. I really hate to use the word "evil", but...... I can't find an adequate synonym. The pissed off part of me wants to make unkind remarks about brain damage and republicans looking out for their own, but it would be disrespectful of the victim, and that she has become (from Merriam-Webster on line)
Pronunciation: 'vik-t&mFunction: nounEtymology: Middle English vyctym, from Latin victima; perhaps akin to Old High German wIh holy1 : a living being sacrificed to a deity or in the performance of a religious rite2 : one that is acted on and usually adversely affected by a force or agent : one that is injured, destroyed, or sacrificed under any of various conditions (2) : one that is subjected to oppression, hardship, or mistreatment
This place gets scarier all the time.
