Same Old Sunday Bilge


It's just not worth turning on the TV, Sunday mornings. The same old morally & intellectually bankrupt Beltway talking-heads invite the same old morally & intellectually bankrupt Rightwing political players to pontificate about the same old discredited notions.

The only ideas those Rightwingers have are toxic ideas. They aren't serious thinkers, they're self serving bullshit artists.

I assume those Beltway talking-heads were all at the White House Correspondents Dinner. Too bad they're brains are so atrophied that they didn't pick up on what Wanda was saying.

There's still journalism being committed in America, just not on Sunday mornings... or on network news.
