Look, I don't have time for stupid people. I just won't abide them in my presence. So I got up and left, and did not ask the simplest of questions I was sure she couldn't answer. Like, when did the recession, the collapse of the economy begin? Just name the year, and tell me who was president at the time. Who had been president for eight years, leading up to that moment? Who was Hank Paulson, what was his job, and what was the length of the memo that insisted the treasury be looted, and that there was to be no congressional or judicial review of the hoist?
I rest my case: The only way to avoid comics and comedians and clowns, and the pretend world they inhabit and want the rest of us to pretend really is real is to . . .. Well, that's where personal responsibility and the on-off button on the remote come into play, isn't it?
Ya know, there are a lot of free Internet sites one can visit, even subscribe to, for free (And did I say "for free"?), and get lots of supplemental, need-to-know information. There are the New York Times and the Washington Post. Too liberal, try the Wall Street Journal. Or Army Times. Or Newsweek. Or Fortune magazine. If you want to check on who's doing what to whom, and how much they're siphoning off the top, to do it, visit OpenSecrets dot org. Perhaps you heard something that sounds . . . well, suspicious. Stop in at MediaMatters dot org. Just please . . . don't go just to the comics, those clowns that show up between 5:00 and 7:00 each evening on the TV and, you know: be stupid.
