IT WAS 1968

By Richard Day on Thu, 03/03/2016 - 6:59am |

It was 1968.

That summer I was 18 years of age and so very confused.

I had pustules all over my face, almost no money in my pocket and no idea of what might come to me down the line.

I have already written of wrath against THE DONALD. The particular incident that incited the hatred in me involved Trump's attack on the families of 'terrorists'.

THE DARK SIDE OF THE MOON

I do not receive the Science Channel in my basic cable package.

I do however receive the Discovery Channel which, over the years, ends up treating me with nekked folks in the woods and stupid attempts at gaining rating points, I guess?

But I just discovered that the Discovery Channel 'becomes' the Science Channel on the weekends and other days (I assume since I get to watch Mythbusters again.)

FAST-FORWARD

FDR in 1933.jpg

I recalled a scene I viewed when my grandkids appeared at my apartment last month.

Seany had proceeded to 'install' his DVD player into my TV; Everything worked, eventually.

He played some Disney 'Ice' film. Precious was so enrapt by this presentation
that she mouthed the words to the songs. 

But there was this interruption: Daddy, Daddy, you must remove the wolves....

Seany quickly fast forwarded the blood-thirsty wolf scenes.

TIME MACHINE; PALIN BECOMES PRESIDENT!

Sarah Palin by Gage Skidmore 2.jpgJUMP TO JANUARY 30TH, 2017

President Trump choked to death, choking on some shrimp aperitif at one of his hotels on Thursday last week. 

The deceased really choked on his own vomit, but it was better for the country that
the doctors centered in on the aperitif. The CIA denied any involvement.

The nation mourned this death for 48 hours while his Vice-President, Sarah Palin took over the 'chains' of government. (her words, not mine)
