ABOUT
The Leek, a publication related by both genus and genius to The Onion, is the world’s most highly undervalued source of Breaking News — news about the finally-narrowing abyss in our democracy masterminded by the soon-to-be ex-Occupant of the White House.
This Loser Edition will likely be the last volume of The Leek. Contrary to popular opinion, commingling words that arouse laughter and tears in the same sentence is strenuous work. Proofreading is equally challenging and laborious; advance apologies for any errors in spelling or syntax. Sitting in the same chair, typing with two fingers, hours on end, is simultaneously enlightening, therapeutic and hugely unhealthy.
The author is still in self-imposed physical exile. However, since November 3, she has renewed hope of traveling to Spain, Peru and Mongolia. She has gained more weight but acquired a recumbent stationary bike in order to lose some. She has also regained a measure of optimism and continues to faithfully wear a mask on the rare occasions she leaves the house.
In addition to preserving its hubris, this Loser Edition of The Leek is yet another reminder that septuagenarian women of a far left political bent are still making waves even though this writer never learned to swim. These same women are now celebrating and working their beads around the clock, hoping that January 20, 2021 ushers in a return to sanity and the largest inauguration audience in U.S. election history.
