The day started at 3am to accommodate an airport drop off.\u00a0 Of course, I didn\u2019t trust the alarm clock so I woke up at 1am and 2 am just to be sure.\u00a0 Which explains this stream of semi-consciousness writing style you\u2019re reading here.\u00a0 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).\u00a0 So, we\u2019re both zonked today.\u00a0 Tomorrow will be better.<\/p>\n

The summer must be over because I notice a definite uptick in site traffic.\u00a0 It\u2019s funny how that works.\u00a0 I always enjoy seeing folks return.\u00a0 It\u2019s almost a proprietary interest, as if they\u2019ve been slacking off, like some kind of digital prodigal sons.\u00a0 I feel like I should go to www.fattedcalf.com<\/a> and put in an e-order (great googly moogly, it\u2019s a real website!).<\/p>\n

Well, it\u2019s still raining today, which is starting to get a bit annoying.\u00a0 Sure, sure.\u00a0 Drought bad, water good.\u00a0 But that\u2019s enough.\u00a0 No one likes a show off.<\/p>\n

I find I\u2019m fed up looking at both sides of the Red Wave \/ Red Bust articles.\u00a0 I really don\u2019t care.\u00a0 Either we trounce these dirtbags or we don\u2019t.\u00a0 Running around in circles with your hair on fire over it just makes you look stupid.\u00a0 Especially since the pundits are trying to read the usual tea leaves that are about as authoritative as my late great aunt\u2019s theories on how the Apollo moon missions were ruining her vegetable garden.<\/p>\n

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.\u00a0 That stunt that Governor Abbott is pulling by bussing illegal aliens to NYC and DC; that\u2019s good stuff.\u00a0 I want to hear more stuff like that.\u00a0 DeSantis prosecuting election fraud perps; good stuff, keep it coming.\u00a0 That\u2019s all stuff that encourages the man on the street.\u00a0 It\u2019s tonic.\u00a0 It makes us feel better.<\/p>\n

And I loved the final broadcast of Brian Stelter.\u00a0 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.\u00a0 And now I\u2019m hungry for more.\u00a0 Don Lemon, Jim Acosta.\u00a0 Hey how about Anderson Cooper?\u00a0 It\u2019s such a target rich environment.\u00a0 Come on, Warner Bros. Discovery, give your audience what they want, blood.\u00a0 Blue-green bug blood.\u00a0 Bring out the guillotine and lop off a network anchor\u2019s head every night.\u00a0 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.\u00a0 I guarantee ratings will go through the roof.<\/p>\n

And the same goes for MSNBC and even Fox.\u00a0 They\u2019ve all got plenty of phonies and sycophants.\u00a0 Blithering idiots like Joe Scarborough, Juan Williams and Joy Reid are ripe for the razor.\u00a0 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.\u00a0 No one is more hated than these pampered, brainless and thoroughly useless haircuts.<\/p>\n

You know I feel better already.\u00a0 There\u2019s nothing like a good dose of schadenfreude to revive a sleep deprived conservative.\u00a0 So, thank you CNN and thank you Brian Stelter for brightening up my day.\u00a0 Keep up the good work.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
