 Happy Friday everyone. Well, I don’t know if happy is a proper term for it. Hot and sweaty maybe. The AC went out in the main house at The Compound yesterday afternoon. The hottest day of summer (so far) and the AC goes out. At least the winds died down a bit. I was beginning to feel like I was living on Ceti Alpha V with the sand blowing in a horrific hot wind – and if you get that obscure reference from a great movie, you win a cookie.
Cousin Fred and I returned from Kansas (it's cheaper there, you know) yesterday afternoon where we purchased a number of illegal fireworks to bring back into Oklahoma. Spent far too much money and we’re now sitting on far too much firepower in an overheated Compound with no AC. Again, what could possibly go wrong? The Wife wasn’t here when I got here. I walked in to find a home interior nearly as hot as it was outside. There was a note taped to the fridge that said, “The AC’s out,” (no kidding), “I’m moving to a motel. Don’t try to follow me.” I called the AC repair people – the same people who installed the damn thing EIGHT years ago. Eight years. Shouldn’t an AC compressor last longer than eight years? Hell, the compressor we had in our Virginia house was 25 years old and never failed me. This will be the fourth call I’ve had to make in the last twelve months because something went wrong on the compressor. But, I digress… Friends, have you ever watched the morning show, think it’s called Morning Joe or something, on MSNBC? Of course you haven’t. Why would you? Although it’s generally kind of entertaining to turn it on to see which way Joe and Mika are leaning that particular morning. You have political views that lean left one day, or right the next day. You just never know. Then there’s Joe who looks like a college professor in need of a long hiatus. And Mika with that cold, icy look that says she’d just as soon tear the heart out of your chest and eat it while you watch before it all goes dark. Well, guess what? They’re now the number ONE most watched morning show in America…thanks to The Trump! MSNBC should seriously send the White House one of those edible fruit arrangements, but hurry because its summer and those go bad quick. It seems that Joe and Mika, who are incidentally engaged (when the hell did that happen), following The Trump’s latest rampage via Twitter yesterday morning and the freakin’ outrage that followed have cancelled their plans for a day off today and will stay on the air to address their personal sadness and offense. F**k, oh dear. Will someone please break The Trump’s thumbs so he’ll stop with the tweets already? Look, the guy’s a narcissistic overbearing obnoxious bully, he can’t help himself. Sure it’s undignified. Of course it’s demeaning to the office. So what? He isn’t going to change. We’re stuck with him. So what are we (a collective term meaning those of us who have to endure this nonsense) going to do? Turn the other cheek, perhaps? NAH…screw that. That would be the mature thing to do. This is war! And, in the big scheme of things there’s something in it for everyone…I mean, hey, MSNBC will today be the shining apple in a pile of hack morning shows. Today, they win…that’s a time reference not the show Today – Today will probably win tomorrow, no wait Tomorrow’s a late night show, they’ll probably win this morning, no This Morning’s…. Now you’ll have every little known TV personality in America taking Twitter shots at The Trump, praying that he’ll respond and they’ll be famous for a day. Who knows, among the winners maybe Nancy Pelosi will get her own talk show. Wouldn’t that be great? No, not really. She could have a segment where she rides around in a big white limo before pulling up in front of some poor schmuck’s home. After introducing herself to whomever is inside and the occupants attempting to slam the door in her face, four goons appear from the bushes and charge into the house to seize any guns the Schmuck family may have hidden or lying about. Host Nancy thanks them for their time and cooperation as the goons load the weapons in the trunk. As a consolation prize she could offer them six coupons each one good for doctor office visit and a year's supply of useless overpriced pharmaceutical samples. Ain’t America great?! See, I should be working in television. I’ve got a million ideas like that. Sure it’s a dying medium, but I’m known for riding programs and projects into the sunset. A sunsetter, that’s what I am! By the way, if you’re one of the blog readers who sent me hate emails and comments about what I said about the average American being an undereducated sheep being led around by whichever political party says whatever they want to hear….thhhpppppppttt! Politics in America is broken, it isn’t going to get better by lobbyists handing over envelopes of cash to career politicians who couldn’t keep a job on the outside. There’s a finite number of votes up for grabs in this country…or maybe not if the stupid Russians keep their hand in our elections…so both sides will tell you what you want to hear and then do the opposite. It's why they're all "lying c*cks*ckers" to quote afternoon SiriusXM personality Mojo Nixon...no relation to the dead Nixon. My point yesterday was that people need to start thinking critically. See through the bullsh*t on both sides. Maybe we’ve gone too far to alter course. I hope not, that would be a shame. That is all! Comments are closed.
