Settin’ here on a comfortable Sunday morning, abusing my brain cell (singular, meant) with the talking head shows. Of them all, I believe ABC is the worst, with their dramatic attempt of a ‘countdown’ to the US election. Here’s a more important countdown – the Super Bowl is one hundred and forty days away.
These schmucks keep touting the date, but anyone paying attention, no one knows who the winner will be, due to all sorts of malfeasance, misdirection, and misinformation. Willing to go out on a limb and suggest sometime around Thanksgiving – because we will all be thankful that the current round of stupidity will be (not) over, but on hiatus for 24 hours. *This does not include those assholes that launch their campaign advertisements for the next election (you know who you are).
Many of you have eschewed traditional media sources by now (I hope). Or review what is presented with skepticism. Even when presented with their own outright lies (audio, print, or video) the media /politician will deny the lie or state they were taken ‘out of context’. That they expect the general public to take them at their word beggars belief. And then they opine about a lack of trust. Trust is a busy, two-way street they expect us to cross while amputated at the knee. And they’re not even waiting for us on the other side.
The other side. As if there are only two sides. Moronic simplicity for the intellectually impaired. Brought to you by the ‘new and improved’ advertised product, which also has reduced size and increased cost. But no inflation. No-no, that’s a bad word and your empty wallet is a feature. Your taxes aren’t going up, your government is improving. (Vietnam wasn’t a war, it was a police action – you get the idea.)
I think this month I’ll blame marketing and communication majors. And goat yoga. I was around goats yesterday, and none of them were interested in holding a workout.
