Can this possibly
be said often enough?

Major props to the
NBA and its players
and, to a lesser
degree, MLB and the
NHL, for sending
a message
about racial
injustice in this
country by boycotting
games.
And, without a doubt,
the NBA players demanding
that their arenas
be used as polling
stations this voting
season was a grand
idea, and also a
dart aimed
right at the swollen,
demented gut of Derf
Fuhrer.
That being said,
I'm waiting for NFL
teams
to
do something
concrete though I
feel I'm going to
be waiting
a long time.

Kyle Rittenhouse,
who attended t-Rump
rallies, wasn't old
enough to vote for
t-Rump, so he did
the next best thing.
He intentionally
drove to Kenosha
to kill Biden voters.
This isn't the sort
of decision one normally
makes in isolation.
It's a product of
one's environment.
In this case, one
that glorifies both
the gun and the intolerance
of others. For now,
let's just call that
malevolent influence
"Fox News".
------------
Let me preface this next comment with the fact that
Fox News has never won a major award for journalism.
Never.
Not one.
So it's no real surprise that Fox News' Tucker Carlson
on Wednesday night defended the walking corrosive pustule
that shot and killed two protesters in Kenosha, claiming
that the gangrenous little sack of scabs and cancerous
tumors was "maintaining order when no one else
would."
TV was once called a "vast wasteland" by
the first FCC commissioner, Newton Minow. Imagine the
look on his face if he saw that same wasteland today,
now featuring a conspicuously large sinkhole containing
a whirlpool of feces and blond hair dye, spinning fiercely
and consecrating the unwary with a viscous spray of
intolerance and entitlement.
And on the edge of that whirlpool stands Tucker Carlson
shouting "Come on in, the water's fine, and full
of freedom!"
Disney is a sponsor of Carlson's program, as is Hulu,
and Amazon. I wonder how they feel about good old Tucker
these days?
