Enough!
Enough
already with the Halloween stories on the news.
Look, no one
gets it better than me. I used to be a
journalist so I remember the news director advising us all to find a new
Halloween story angle because it MUST be covered. I turned on the news this morning to see
great gobs of endless segments of cute little ghouls and goblins in their
costumes. Awhhhh how sweet! And then the
story on the “how to be safe while trick or treating” followed by “check your child’s candy when they
come home” and finally “consider feeding your jacko-lantern to farm animals
because that’s more eco friendly” Can I
just barf? Really? Who hasn’t seen these
stories? I can almost just recite it
nearly word for word sitting there drinking the coffee that apparently wasn’t
strong enough to stomach this garbage this morning.
Love him or
hate him, but New Jersey governor and GOP presidential hopeful Chris Christie got it right
when he called out the media on their trivial questions the other night at the
debate. He basically stated that we’ve
got bigger problems and he’s right.
I think the
media likes to spoon feed us the mac and cheese because it’s easy. And viewers can easily handle the light
stuff, the news fluff. I mean who wants
to wake up to the truth that our debt is out of control, more people are out of
work, healthcare is its own crisis, and ISIS and other terrorists groups can’t
stop chanting death to America; and they
mean it!
I
cannot advocate that we force people to give a damn but wouldn’t that be nice
if everyone still did?
I’m done.
Really. Having a hard time being as
pissy as I need to be while in bed as sick as a dog but that’s another blog
altogether. Be well. Take your vitamin C and zinc and stay away
from hospitals. That is all.
Carry on!
