the wonders of a flat earth

Does it matter what anyone says or even can prove? Isn't it true that there will always be someone to assert that babies come from (biblical?) storks, the earth is flat, and that the Sept. 11 demolition of New York's World Trade Center towers was the plan and execution of foreign "terrorists?"

Sure, there will always be someone to advance such fancies. Get over it. It's fun, it's cozy, it's "logical," and it's more interesting than watching paint dry, a pastime I think many recognize as the lot life has cut out for them unless they spice it up a bit, put a personal stamp on it.

This week past, former Ariz. Senator John McCain died. So did "the Queen of Soul," Aretha Franklin. News outlets, like politicians, joined the feeding frenzy, not least by noting how McCain had specifically not invited current U.S. President Donald Trump to speak at his funeral. Trump, the news outlets were quick and repetitive to report, was sulking at the fact that he was not included among the "A-listers" blowing dolorous smoke.

Sulking? Wounded that he was not on the front burner of the news cycle ... of which he was definitely a focal point in the news cycle????? Is Trump the only idiot who knows that any publicity is good publicity? Was there some reason for him NOT to play golf while so many noticed or gave a shit about his absence? With Congressmen scuttling home for the August congressional recess and a chance to shore up political battlements, Trump has fewer fish to shoot in a barrel. Why not a quick 18 holes?

Why NOT a flat earth or an over-sanitized and over-burdened stork?

Trump has grabbed 'em all "by the pussy" and has them over a barrel.

Make America great (if crass) again.
