A Programming Note For The Thinking Impaired

It's Sunday and for many folks that means time for the Sunday Morning News Shows. Not Ferrerman! I'm watching  'Die Hard' with Bruce Willis and his original hair. I've seen it a hundred times and I know how it ends. Same with The Sunday Morning Shows.

Matter a fact, remember when the republicans were first trying to make BENGHAZI!!!!!! into 'IRAN-CONTRA: THE REVENGE' ? I remember John McCain (NOT John McClane) noting that Hillary Clinton and/or Susan Rice "....had all made the rounds of The Sunday Morning Shows...' down-playing the notion that BENGHAZI!!!!!!! was as bad as 9/11 like republicans were beginning to say. As I recall, McCain made the rounds of The Sunday Morning Shows to declare this. It's pretty clear that he and his kind in D.C. put a lot of stock in what is said on The Sunday Morning Shows. I don't. They are as scripted and phoney as Bruce Willis crawling through air ducts. In real life that are not made to support the weight of a full-grown actor. They move air which is as light as...air...not people!

The Sunday Morning Shows are for politicians to lay out the upcoming week's political bullshit for their rivals and for the political junkies that need that info but don't know it's just dog whistle stuff. The Sunday Morning Shows is where a republican politician will go on one program and demand: "Where are the jobs, Obama??!! Tens of millions are out of work- more than your BIG GOVERNMENT figures claim! People need help! Why aren't you helping long-term unemployed people who have given up hope???!!"

That's some pretty powerful bullshit there. I say bullshit not because I'm a democratic Ferrerman but, because I'm a democratic Ferrerman who knows that on the next stop on The Sunday Morning Shows, the exact same motherfucker will  solve long-term unemployment by denying long-term unemployment benefits "....to people who clearly don't want to work and would rather suck off the government teat!"

The same guy! On one show there are no jobs and it's the president's fault and twenty minutes later there are tons of jobs but millions of people too lazy to get them because they prefer getting paid to do nothing! Are they Congressmen? How dare they...

So which is it? When the distinguished gentleman from The Great State Of  Duplicity speaks out of both sides of his mouth, which side do we believe?

He's actually saying the same thing, just two different ways. His actual message is: President = BAD! And unemployment BENEFITS = BAD!!

This is what politicians have always done. You'd think that the immediacy and permanent record of television, combined with the internet, would expose the shit out of these lying bastards but, you'd be wrong. It doesn't matter. Jon Stewart exposes their hypocrisy and lies four nights a week and they still keep him busy with their bullshit because people hear only what they want to hear. Politicians know this and tailor their message to their constituents, the ones that don't wine, dine and align them. The people help out by willingly listening to a congressperson  lie to them. They are convenient lies. 

Politics is about right and wrong. It's almost Biblical. Ask yourself , "What would Jesus do?" Would Jesus bomb this or that country? Would Jesus not feed the poor or heal the sick? Would Jesus say, "Fuck you, you non-job having moocher!"?

Of course not. You don't have to be a Christian to have Christian values. In fact, most Christians do not have Christian values. If they did, they would be the ones desiring healthcare for all plus food and clothing for the poor. Instead, it's Godless democrats who do that. Fucking ironic, huh? Odd too that The Sunday Morning Shows are on when people- Christian people- are supposed to be in church, not listening to politicians lying. Hmmm...shouldn't the politician be in church too? Well, at least we know where Ferrerman is and what he's not watching on TV.
