The conversation changes rapidly these days.
Here were the topics–and they all took place within a week.
We started by complaining that NBC was failing at its obligation to provide good Olympics coverage. We briefly cared about Syrian refugees, even though their plight is horribly more important than Bob Costas bantering about athletes and how firm their muscles are.
We moved on quickly to the Mars Curiosity Rover. How amazing. And yes, it is amazing. But in the shuffle we ignored Russia’s Pussy Riot being put in jail by Vlad the impaler in Russia–even though Madonna cared.
Back to the Olympics for a while! Everyone got excited at water polo even though few understood what it was. I like soccer, so I ignored water polo. Bob Costas did not.
And finally, with all the mayhem in the world and juvenile leadership from the elite controllers, what are we left with this Friday? What is the conversation? You guessed it: Honey Boo Boo.
Sadly, Hillbilly child Honey Boo Boo will be around in the news and conversation a lot longer than Syrian refugees, too..
Happy Friday.
