Speaking of people having been stripped of opportunity . . . while some things may indeed be rotten in Denmark (and Venezuela, and everywhere else), do take a moment to weep for Trish . . . and, yes, for America . . . where very obviously the level of public discourse is. . . well . . . simply and always . . . ‘exceptional.’

The word hate just doesn’t do it for me anymore, Norm! I have no word or words for this. I just add it to the mountain of reasons why I loathe the country I was unfortunate enough to be born in!
My apologies, Dave. I didn’t intend to make anyone angrier than they already were. My wife shared this with me over breakfast, and I must confess that I had a bit of a chuckle. I mean: how dumb does the American establishment presume average Americans to be? Although I’m left wondering whether Trish Regan doesn’t get to keep her job for actually being as daft as she makes herself out to be.
But who knows? Maybe it was a comedy routine, a sort of parody of non-American caricatures of American intellectual culture. I can sense how that argument might plausibly be made . . . 😉

Frustration more than anger, Norm. And it isn’t this bobble-headed bleach blond, it’s the hypocrisy she is pandering that I can no longer stand.
You’re right, she’s a joke. But what she is pandering passes as the gospel here,, and that, to me, is not a joke.
Sorry, I didn’t catch the gist. Between this nightmare of a body and everything else, I am finding it hard to find humor in much of anything!
Norm, I’m so crewed up that I can’t even watch an old Seinfeld rerun without bitching.
