Posted here to avoid the tender sensibilities of the Facebook algorithm. (I use the alleged racial slur “wh*t*’)

Once again we are reminded that we are supposed to say “Heartland” instead of “flyovers.”

I have not been able to find whether this alleged expression of the National Will has more actual participants than ComicCon, but it is at least as skewed, albeit in a different direction.

The mass media are expressing shock and wonder that an event designed to bring out resentful white people resulted in a Trump landslide.

Meanwhile back at the ranch: Once again Salty Sam (the Republicans) is tying Sweet Sue (the economy) to the railroad track. Tune in next month for the next pulse-pounding anus-clenching episode.

Can we disrupt the symbiosis between ISIS and 24-hour news?

Henry Morgan once said, "There came the time, as it must in every company, for the man with the money to fire the man with the ideas." It happened on Community, and here is how the other people with the talent are expected to "explain" it.

On those degrading TV game shows where people make fools of themselves to win a prize, sometimes contempt for a contestant's intelligence overrides the compassion we should feel.

But enough about Rick Perry.

Year-end sports summaries are saying that the TV show LeBron James put on to announce which team he would sign with is the worst thing that ever happened in sports television. Actually, the media were making their usual huge profit on it but were offended that the commodity they were selling cut himself in on too much of it.

Publicist bigger asshole than faith healer.
