The day started at 3am to accommodate an airport drop off. Of course, I didn’t trust the alarm clock so I woke up at 1am and 2 am just to be sure. Which explains this stream of semi-consciousness writing style you’re reading here. The various schools are not in session this week so Camera Girl is working triple duty with grandkids all week (and double duty next week just for good measure). So, we’re both zonked today. Tomorrow will be better.
The summer must be over because I notice a definite uptick in site traffic. It’s funny how that works. I always enjoy seeing folks return. It’s almost a proprietary interest, as if they’ve been slacking off, like some kind of digital prodigal sons. I feel like I should go to www.fattedcalf.com and put in an e-order (great googly moogly, it’s a real website!).
Well, it’s still raining today, which is starting to get a bit annoying. Sure, sure. Drought bad, water good. But that’s enough. No one likes a show off.
I find I’m fed up looking at both sides of the Red Wave / Red Bust articles. I really don’t care. Either we trounce these dirtbags or we don’t. Running around in circles with your hair on fire over it just makes you look stupid. Especially since the pundits are trying to read the usual tea leaves that are about as authoritative as my late great aunt’s theories on how the Apollo moon missions were ruining her vegetable garden.
All I want to read about is what anyone who claims to be a leader on the right is doing to make our lives better. That stunt that Governor Abbott is pulling by bussing illegal aliens to NYC and DC; that’s good stuff. I want to hear more stuff like that. DeSantis prosecuting election fraud perps; good stuff, keep it coming. That’s all stuff that encourages the man on the street. It’s tonic. It makes us feel better.
And I loved the final broadcast of Brian Stelter. His heroic stand against objective journalism was as pathetic, myopic and disingenuous as anything that has ever shown up on that Clown Car of a network CNN. And now I’m hungry for more. Don Lemon, Jim Acosta. Hey how about Anderson Cooper? It’s such a target rich environment. Come on, Warner Bros. Discovery, give your audience what they want, blood. Blue-green bug blood. Bring out the guillotine and lop off a network anchor’s head every night. Fish it out of the basket, show it to the crowd and then toss it to the soccer hooligans to kick around the street for the rest of the night. I guarantee ratings will go through the roof.
And the same goes for MSNBC and even Fox. They’ve all got plenty of phonies and sycophants. Blithering idiots like Joe Scarborough, Juan Williams and Joy Reid are ripe for the razor. And even if they are just metaphorical beheadings and all we get to see is these bozos making the walk of shame out of the corporate headquarters with the cardboard box full of coffee mugs and cheap Lucite awards it will still bring joy and plenty of clicks and streaming dollars to these former news networks. No one is more hated than these pampered, brainless and thoroughly useless haircuts.
You know I feel better already. There’s nothing like a good dose of schadenfreude to revive a sleep deprived conservative. So, thank you CNN and thank you Brian Stelter for brightening up my day. Keep up the good work.
