In the midst of the marathon pummeling that I currently am engulfed in I have Easter completely free from work. It stands out as an oasis of joy within a desert of unpleasantness. Truly this is like the eye of the hurricane providing a short window of peace inside a maelstrom of aggravation and weariness. Death by a thousand paper cuts awaits me next week and I refuse to think ahead to it on Sunday. I will bask in the glow of family solidarity and face the music afterwards. So let it be written, so shall it be done.
I watched the unfolding of the farce that was the Ronna Romney McDaniel NBC hiring and firing. I’ve read the hilarious reactions of the MSNBC parrots squawking and shrieking about an “election denier” sharing their sacred “airspace.” And I can’t decide who is more ridiculous, the people who pretend that anyone can be phonier than the MSNBC freakshow or the suits at NBC who thought that McDaniel could be paraded around as a legitimate spokesperson of the new right.
Words fail me. I tend to believe that the whole episode was a set-up to allow MSNBC to virtue signal at full power and that there was never an intent to employ McDaniel. I guess the only question is whether she was in on the gag from the start. Either way it fun to watch these people wind themselves up to whirling dervish speed.
Probably my favorite bit was this:
Now I was trying to remember what this show reminded me of and then it came to me,

Basically, it is the same vibe but without the honesty and intelligence that Blaine Edwards and Antoine Merriweather bring to public television.
Now look at the other side of this farce. How exactly does McDaniel represent the Right? The only answer is that she’s the latest avatar of the John McCain, Paul Ryan, Mitt Romney school of Republican misrepresentation. Hell, she’s even Mitt Romney’s niece! So, I guess Uni-Party still feels that the old playbook never gets old and never stops working. Well, they’re wrong. No one with a single living brain cell believes that anymore. Now that still leaves millions of Republican voters as fans of Ronna but effectively, they’re Democrat voters and we have to stop worrying about what they do.
But this is a good starting point. As RINOs get bounced out of positions of power in the Republican hierarchy they will end up with jobs in media, academia and anywhere else where whores can settle down and whore. The appropriate response from our side is to mock and insult these people as much as is humanly possible. And that is what I will try to do whenever I have the time and inclination.
But right now, I have to say, that since I don’t watch PBS, I wasn’t aware that they had shifted over to a 100% gay men news team. It’s a bold decision. I always thought that PBS tried to maintain a 1:1 gay to lesbian ratio with respect to their pundits but apparently that has been superseded. But I hope they eventually add a lesbian. Capehart is obviously radiating an enormous field of gayness at such a high potential that it threatens to tear the very fabric of space-time. In order to re-establish a balance between the feminine and masculine mojo they should hire Rachel Maddow or some other sufficiently macho woman to bring stability to the Force.
Well, enough of this. Everyone, enjoy Easter. I know I will.
I was wondering how you were going to bring the concepts “NBC” and “integrity” into a single thesis. It’s not like the two concepts are polar opposites as much as no relationship at all. With opposites, there’s a relationship to play on. It’s hard to tie fish and bicycles into a unified thesis. NBC has historically presented as a news organization. Even though they still present as such, they are something totally different, a wolf in sheep’s clothing. In reality they are purely an advocacy organization with a single goal: “fundamentally transforming the United States”. Into what, you may ask?… Read more »
As you say they try to present as a news organization and so I provided a jab at that pose. All that is necessary is to provide their own words against them. The absurdity of their claim that maintaining the truth is their highest priority is laughably obvious. Any obvious lie by the Left is always within their range of acceptable discussion. Mostly peaceful rioting and arson? Sure. The BLM exception to COVID lockdowns? Of course! The science has spoken. And on and on and on.
