It was 2:36 AM on the alarm
clock. Those red numerals indicated to
me I should be sleeping. Rather I was
awake with my mind racing toward a non-existent finish line.
Often these times in mid-night I
begin my conscious time with an earworm.
An earworm is that song that rattles around your cranium and can’t be
shaken.
But last night was different.
Just as with pretty much else
we’ve been programmed to believe, movie stars and starlets, athletes, and
everyday talk show hosts, have felt compelled to give America their
opinions.
So it was last night that I spent
my waking time wondering what Chelsea Handler and George Clooney thought about
the goings-on in our country. Yeah,
sure.
Not George Clooney |
After all, Clooney is a
television-turned-movie actor who can’t seem to grasp the concept of a free
election. He seems to think the Hollywood elite should vote – much as for vacuous awards
already given to his fellow pretenders – for our politicians. This way, Clooney and his ilk would be
assured no one with clear vision and the truth would ever be representing
people like me.
Handler is, well, a not-funny
comedienne who recently quit her job with Netflix to become more socially
active. She’s another show biz kook who
presumes to know more about America ’s
needs than America
itself. She wants to whine until
President Trump resigns.
Of course, that is not the way
our representative republic works. All
this verve now gives those unemployed stars and has-beens a cause. Half-baked singers and comedy writers are canceling
what regular work they have just to work for what they term “social matters.” Yeah!
For your information, the claim
to fame for most of those chomping-at-the-bit Hollywood
narcissists is the fact they likely slept their way to their once-famous roles. That fact does not give them the right to
lecture or dictate anything to me.
Still, they feel the need to help
me make my decisions about who should be elected to public office.
Clooney and his verbose buddies
are meaningless to me, and hold no sway with me. This makes it timely to tell those
know-it-all media whores to cease and desist.
Their opinions are theirs and
theirs alone. Unfortunately, too many
weak-minded fellow Americans are easily influenced by these desperate wanna-bes.
Here’s the rub: the day Clooney
and Handler, and Rosie and Whoopie and Joyce, and all those late night hosts
call to ask me about my thoughts, I’ll begin to listen to them.
Otherwise, please sit your
unimportant butts down and shut up.
Thanks.
