I’m in media blackout mode, choosing instead to devote that time to GOTV efforts for the duration. But I turned on the TV moments ago and was involuntarily exposed to the tail-end of Natasha Fatale’s Melania Trump’s speech as I scrambled to locate the “INPUT” button on the remote.
Her topic was about how we must be more respectful and kind to one another, treat women with more respect and stamp out bullying, particularly on social media. Hearing that from her was like:
— Listening to Mrs. Bernie Madoff hold a seminar on the importance of honesty in investor-broker relationships
— Hearing Mrs. Dale Earnhardt, Jr. call for abolishing the internal combustion engine
— Enduring a lecture on the evils of wealth inequality from the Walmart heirs
…all at the same time. I need to install a Valium lick at my workstation to get me through this week. Open thread!
