The game, the game, the game. An NFL football player is struck down on the field by a cardiac arrest and chaos ensues. But why aren't the fans and teams turning eternally irate over the players' unyielding development of dementia due to body slams finished off with unseen head trauma? Heads aren't rocks, though frequently cranium contents seem to qualify as rocks among certain people.
Barbara Walters: Oh, if only deceased newspaper journalists could receive this royal treatment. Nevertheless, this ABC-TV/Disney Inc. icon accomplished reports in need of reporting and also puffed up society's fluff. My only complaint as a little tiny man, whose words are generally hard-pressed to be acknowledged gratefully by anything higher than a garden insect, is Walters' efforts as producer of "The View." In a country filled with millions of brilliant women ideal for the show's concept, she chose instead a stable of on-camera talent destined and doomed to keep viewers living in a dumbed-down universe.
Killing you darkly? We already know that much of the pre-packaged food we eat has become a virtual chemical factory capable of life-influencing horrors not yet fully determined -- but now dark chocolate??????? Say it isn't so! New research determines that dark -- dark -- chocolate contains unhealthy levels of lead, cadmium and other lab rat delights, and at least one person is actually pushing a lawsuit against Hershey for selling the dark chocolate he apparently gobbled down routinely. I never really catered to the dark variety, maybe somewhat because those silly health professionals were touting the benefits of dark chocolate over the standard kind. Anyway, you've been warned, so if you have any of this lethal material around the house either get rid of it or give it to somebody you dislike as a Christmas present in December. Then again, you can hang on to your dark chocolate bars until progressive science reverses itself and says oops, we were wrong, lead and cadmium are actually healthy and offer the same benefits as Viagra.
Pope Benedict XVI's death: Hmm. Couldn't have been important because ABC chose to highlight Barbara Walters.
The quadruple college student murders: I've often had problems putting my trust in educational degrees, and here we have highly credentialed murder suspect Bryan Kohberger accused of hideous murders. I guess if you're going to pursue a Ph.D. following your master's degree in criminology you might feel like really getting into your work, you know? Beyond this guy's alleged online appeal regarding emotions involved in the commission of a crime, I wonder if he was looking forward to media coverage of his kill-fest after he slithered away to Pennsylvania to watch remotely. I would ask Mr. Ph.D. candidate: Dude, did they not have at least an hour or two in your classes regarding DNA and its relationship to crimes such as. . .yours? Wha's up here? Arrogance? They'll never catch me? Too damned smart? Whacked out, garden-variety psycho? Stabbing to be clever? You wondered what "it" would be like? Had a little problem with women and maybe the guys who like them? The motive is the message, but frequently the motive assumed or declared provides a false pathway.
Ah, modern America. You're too afraid to go out at night, but now you can't even sleep at home, and as we've seen at this now famous murder scene, not even the faithful dog can be depended upon to alert you to an ascending silhouette of death determined to inflict eternal slumber.
George Santos: Good luck with this one, Republicans. We can't very well have a congressman who emulates even a fraction of the perpetual fibs told by the White House authoritarian Liar-in-Chief, can we?
EQUITY is a word not found in the U.S. Constitution. Yet, our Democrat slave masters continue to throw the word into anything resembling an entitlement. Socialist Democrats, proud of yourselves? Of course you are..
