In the midst of the marathon pummeling that I currently am engulfed in I have Easter completely free from work.\u00a0 It stands out as an oasis of joy within a desert of unpleasantness.\u00a0 Truly this is like the eye of the hurricane providing a short window of peace inside a maelstrom of aggravation and weariness.\u00a0 Death by a thousand paper cuts awaits me next week and I refuse to think ahead to it on Sunday.\u00a0 I will bask in the glow of family solidarity and face the music afterwards.\u00a0 So let it be written, so shall it be done.<\/p>\n

I watched the unfolding of the farce that was the Ronna Romney McDaniel NBC hiring and firing.\u00a0 I\u2019ve read the hilarious reactions of the MSNBC parrots squawking and shrieking about an \u201celection denier\u201d sharing their sacred \u201cairspace.\u201d\u00a0 And I can\u2019t 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.<\/p>\n

Words fail me.\u00a0 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.\u00a0 I guess the only question is whether she was in on the gag from the start.\u00a0 Either way it fun to watch these people wind themselves up to whirling dervish speed.<\/p>\n

Probably my favorite bit was this:<\/p>\n

https:\/\/www.realclearpolitics.com\/video\/2024\/03\/30\/david_brooks_on_ronna_mcdaniel_to_be_on_our_air_you_have_to_have_some_commitment_to_the_truth_above_partisanship.html<\/a><\/p>\n

Now I was trying to remember what this show reminded me of and then it came to me,<\/p>\n

https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=ELXX6hZjCeY<\/a><\/p>\n

Basically, it is the same vibe but without the honesty and intelligence that Blaine Edwards and Antoine Merriweather bring to public television.<\/p>\n

Now look at the other side of this farce.\u00a0 How exactly does McDaniel represent the Right?\u00a0 The only answer is that she\u2019s the latest avatar of the John McCain, Paul Ryan, Mitt Romney school of Republican misrepresentation.\u00a0 Hell, she\u2019s even Mitt Romney\u2019s niece!\u00a0 So, I guess Uni-Party still feels that the old playbook never gets old and never stops working.\u00a0 Well, they\u2019re wrong.\u00a0 No one with a single living brain cell believes that anymore.\u00a0 Now that still leaves millions of Republican voters as fans of Ronna but effectively, they\u2019re Democrat voters and we have to stop worrying about what they do.<\/p>\n

But this is a good starting point.\u00a0 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.\u00a0 The appropriate response from our side is to mock and insult these people as much as is humanly possible.\u00a0 And that is what I will try to do whenever I have the time and inclination.<\/p>\n

But right now, I have to say, that since I don\u2019t watch PBS, I wasn\u2019t aware that they had shifted over to a 100% gay men news team.\u00a0 It\u2019s a bold decision.\u00a0 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.\u00a0 But I hope they eventually add a lesbian.\u00a0 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.\u00a0 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.<\/p>\n

Well, enough of this.\u00a0 Everyone, enjoy Easter.\u00a0 I know I will.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
