Give Me That Remote!
This week American Idol grabbed its highest audience numbers since its debut. That's enough to make me want to pull the covers over my head. Any further comment could probably get me egged. That is the State of the Union. We do not realize the import of those Idol numbers.
This audience believes that we are/have created a democracy in Iraq, while America is a pathetic high school geek who thinks that doing some girl's homework for her will get him a ticket to the dance. She wanted the football player (civil war) all along and at some point our geek realizes that it was she who got the ticket: an A in trig (the theocracy for which they are jonesing).
This audience believes that a nearly $4 billion budget deficit (after the trodden Bill Clinton left a jackass of a president with a $3 billion surplus) can be remedied by tax cuts. As long as I breathe I will not understand how anyone could be so stupid as to think that a government can run without money. He should try to pay his bills for one month with an overdrawn checking account. Is this trig or what?
This audience is comfortable, knowing that Justice Alito's vote will overturn half a century of law and push their daughters one step closer to back alley abortions done with rusty coat hangers. How's that for a sour note, gang?
This audience wants to see fools croak out "Wind Beneath My Wings" rather than see 30 seconds of footage of men with arms and legs blown off landing at Landstuhl under cover of night. I know it wouldn't be fun to watch. I also know that some fool with an American flag on his bumper who does not watch that footage isn't just ignorant. He's one step from evil.
State of the Union. Lord, how I long for Dawson's Creek.
