Last night's dumpster fire...

[luscious_purple]

WTF, indeed.

I have been something of a political junkie since ... oh, about 1972. Between reading political news in print media, reading books about Watergate and presidential campaigns, consuming lots of TV news and everything else ... yeah, I have a pretty strong interest in politics.

But last night, I just couldn't deal with the shitshow.

I kept hitting the mute button on the Orange Toddler, but he kept screaming over the things that Joe Biden was trying to say. I wanted to listen to Biden, but if there's anything that makes me want to throw things at a TV set, it's talking heads yelling over each other so that you can't figure out the crosstalk. I HATE that with a passion.

So I just flipped over to Air Disasters. Just to get rid of that audio disaster.

Both George F. Will (conservative columnist who nevertheless quit the GOP over Trump) and Donna Edwards (progressive Black ex-congresswoman) think the rest of the debates should be canceled. When was the last time THOSE two EVER agreed on something???

Over and out.

Mark Hamill tweeted last night afterwards: "That debate was the worst thing I've ever seen & I was in the Star Wars Holiday Special."

Yeah, I saw that tweet reposted on Facebook. I've seen short bits from that infamous holiday special, but when it aired I was away at college and hardly ever saw a TV.

I, alas, was still in high school and my sister was a BIG Mark Hamill fan, so of course we watched it. Egads, what a mistake we made in doing so.

I will watch the debate between Pence and Harris. After that, unless they have restrictions in place, I will not.

I'm thinking that too.
