Like Hamlet\u2019s father\u2019s ghost I am, \u201cduring the day confin’d to fast in fires, till the foul crimes done in my days of nature are burnt and purg’d away.\u201d\u00a0 But occasionally I am freed to roam the earth.\u00a0 Today and Sunday are those days and I feel like a nocturnal creature blinking in the sun wondering what mythical land I find myself in where light and joy still exist.<\/p>\n

But be that as it may, this paradise of freedom still exists within our own blighted reality.\u00a0 So, I was unsurprised when reading today\u2019s headlines that they were very reminiscent of those I remember from the before-time of last week when I was still a free man.\u00a0 But they were slightly crazier.\u00a0 Joy Reid appears to be close to the breaking point.\u00a0 Now I can’t be totally sure of this because she is always at least incoherent.\u00a0 Possibly to herself she seems rational but for me it’s like listening to the mutterings of a schizophrenic bag lady.\u00a0 It is remarkable that NBC continues to employ her.\u00a0 But that’s another issue.<\/p>\n

In this video clip<\/a> she tauntingly declares that she and her followers know what \u201cwe\u201d mean by DEI.\u00a0 She seems to be having a psychotic break.\u00a0\u00a0Apparently, this knowledge of hers is supposed to be a potent talisman and we should fear it.\u00a0 But instead of being afraid of<\/u> her, I\u2019m actually a little afraid for<\/u> her.<\/p>\n

I mean, sure, she\u2019s a hateful wretch and a race baiter.\u00a0 Certainly, she wishes evil against people not like her.\u00a0 But she\u2019s also a moron.\u00a0 Her IQ must be somewhere around 75?\u00a0 And I feel society has a responsibility to protect someone like that from her own stupidity.\u00a0 Believing in things as far from reality as she does, leaves her open to fatal errors.<\/p>\n

For instance, she believes herself to be highly intelligent.\u00a0 This could lead her to try using her own judgement in a life-or-death situation.\u00a0 As an example, she could judge that a pineapple was an appropriate food to swallow whole.\u00a0 And if she attempts it from the relatively smooth side of the fruit, who knows, maybe she could do it.\u00a0 She does have a really big mouth.\u00a0 If she greased it with oil, who knows!\u00a0 But what if she tries swallowing it crown first?\u00a0 Those leaves are quite stiff and sharp.\u00a0 I fear that it might lodge in her esophagus and finish her off.\u00a0 I don\u2019t relish watching a video clip of her on X where she is expounding on the guilt of White people or Donald Trump or Santa Claus for keeping her people down and then having to watch her trying to remove a wedged bromeliad from her oral cavity.\u00a0 The whole idea disturbs me terribly.<\/p>\n

What would make sense is if some kind of SWAT team could swoop in and rescue her from herself.\u00a0 She could continue here career, such as it is.\u00a0 But she could do it from the safety of a padded room in an insane asylum.\u00a0 There, under the care of trained, psychiatric professionals, she could be dosed with Thorazine and swaddled in a strait jacket and allowed to rave and foam at the mouth and if necessary, soil herself, without any serious fear that she would expire of self-inflicted wounds.<\/p>\n

And that would make me feel better.\u00a0 In fact, I think I\u2019d become a regular viewer of her show.\u00a0 Especially if there were the hope that other characters could be added to the rubber room.\u00a0 Maddow, Morning Joe and his bride and Chris Hayes would all be worthy additions to the room.\u00a0 There could be special events.\u00a0 Electro-shock therapy, firehose-hydro-therapy and maybe even a lobotomy could be added to the program to spice it up.<\/p>\n

Now that would be must-see tv.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
