(S)o (N)ot (L)aughable

 


Hmm... maybe it's time to say goodnight to SNL. I believe Kam Patterson might be right when he claims the show is just for white people. I think it was supposed to be a sarcastic monologue since he's biting the hand that's feeding him. But, for how long? He mentioned he has no clue who most of the guests are and I have to agree. I'm too old for SNL. It lost any relevance decades ago. I did notice a bit of a kerfuffle, mostly coming from right wings rags, regarding Finn Wolfhard's appearance on the show last night. I believe he's the first host of the new season and maybe it didn't go so well. Castmates from, 'Stranger Things,' joined him in the monologue about going into their puberty years while working on the series. 


Ok, maybe I'm just too sensitive. It's meant to be funny. I guess if your audience is a group of incels raging in the manospehere. SNL wants to be edgy. Let's say some really shitty and nasty things because we can. 

One of the castmates mentioned the future of child actors. He sarcastically claimed they do so well as adults in the field. Millie Bobby Brown has proven she can cross over. She's a decent actress. The jury is still out on the others. This was not a good beginning - to mock Stranger Things, to denigrate women, to flip a finger to the future. 

Maybe one way to prove you really are an adult is to say no to people who want to use you to up their ratings. Say no to spewing vulgar comments for a laugh. 

Bowen Yang left the show.  I think maybe we should follow his lead.

She's Still Dead

   Ashli Babbitt was a traitor to this country. They can have all the ceremonial shenanigans the military likes to present as the deceased has been offered full military honors (We all know who requested that) it still won't negate the fact that she and thugs like her stormed a government building to do harm to others. They shit in the hallways. They carried confederate flags. They brought zip ties, bats and rage. The current regime can sugar coat it all they want but one day the orange man will be manure for his golf course grass and we can go back to truth being important. She deserved to be shot. More of them should have been shot that day. Every police officer should have followed the example of the police officer who did his job that day. These deplorables remind me of the fictional character, Ignatius J. Reilly, a lazy, selfish narcissist who decided to gather the factory employees in protest of some useless, archaic self indulgent mischief. He brought from home his soil...

An Empty Vessel

He fills his head with Bible quotes  to silence the storm inside  An empty, hollow shell he mimics in disguise  You were not wanted You were unplanned  You are a nothing You have no stand  He bows his head and speaks in tongues  to still the flames of rage the pretender, fake, the fraud  hiding in plain sight You were a mistake  A thirty minute accident  a constant regretful memory  who seeks reason to breathe  from holy ghosts  and devils in red ties  the more you take the lesser man you are smoke and mirrors a shifting shape unseen  You are a mistake  You know it well A fake, a fraud, a lie. *Yes, I'm thinking of a certain someone we know.

Benny, Benny And No Regrets

  It's just so hard to keep up with maga creeps. Here's Benny  Johnson, the guy who started the rumor that DC was a cesspool. He also claimed his house burned down while his family was in it. He's a liar. His house never burned down. You really can't believe much of what this asshat says because he has a habit of playing with facts. He also likes to steal other people's words. He has been fired and suspended numerous times for plagiarism, at least 41 times. It just boggles my mind when these people blatantly lie, then are outraged when called out. People like Johnson, Trump and Leavitt have probably lived their whole lives creating a make believe existence where lying is the norm. At some point it just becomes routine where they find lying acceptable and necessary. To me they are empty shells of mindless walking automatons. They live in a bubble of falsehoods. These are the people in charge of our country.  The NYTimes has done a story about Pinocchio Johnson. I dec...
