Thing One: The most at risk to parish from Covid 19 are the elderly and those with underlying ailments, so let us send Covid positive people into nursing homes.

Thing Two: Quarantine healthy people for two weeks, or two months, or three or four.

Thing Three: Liquor stores and pot shops are essential, but cancer screenings are not?

Thing Four: Free criminals for their safety, but criminalize law abiding citizens for going to work, and then throw them into jail?

Thing Five: Walmart is open, but Hobby Lobby is closed? The customers of Walmart are safe, but customers of Hobby Lobby will get Covid? The employees of Walmart know how to mask and social distance, but the employees of Hobby Lobby are stupid and dangerous?

When it comes to politics, “Follow the money”, that’s what we are told repeatedly. Chances are that your politicians have sold you out to China long ago. There was no “midnight ride” to warn anyone that the Chinese are coming. No lanterns, “one if by land, two if by sea.” There was no warning, no signal; you were just sold out.

Why is a chicken called a chicken? Why aren’t people called chickens and chickens called people? I’m just wondering, you know, because it’s not chickens that think the sky is falling. It’s people. After all, the story about chicken little was not written for chickens, it was written with people in mind; just wondering.

Once upon a time there was a Town Crier who had a great deal too much news to cry. There was so much news that the Town Crier did not know where to begin. Everyone throughout the land was lost in all the news and wondered where to turn.

MSNBC said, “I’m the News.”

“No, I’m the news.” Exclaimed CNN.

Then there was FOX, who said, “No, no, I’m the news.”

Some news was too hot, while some news was too cold, but the readers wanted the news that was just and truly right. The Town Crier wanted so much to tell the people all the news, but how could he tell which news was true, and which news was false? There was too much! The news was a mess!

The Crier thought, “There are so many stories: there are pandemics, and bees from China, there are Asian Gypsy Moths, there’s police corruption, and political corruption, there are Russians and Saudis with cheap oil, there’s North Koreans and Iranians with rockets and missiles, there’s the Supreme Court rulings, and a sick Judge, there’s investigations, and accusations, fake news, and truth over facts, there’s CNN and Fox News, and enough hate to go around. The list is endless. The table is set. The pot is full. It’s feasting time. The news reminded the crier of the fable of Stone Soup, everyone was putting something into the pot.

Still the news kept coming; there’s Catholics, Muslims, and Jews; there’s Biden and Trump; there’s Pelosi and Graham; there’s Mueller and Comey, Clapper and Brennan, Maddow, Hannity and Limbaugh, oh my!

If that’s not enough; there’s shortages and testing results; there’s Fauci and hearings; Adam Schiff, Bill Barr, Cuomo, Tara Reade, Samantha Power, Susan Rice, Sally Yates, Andrew McCabe, Strzok and Page; Rosenstein and Steele. There’s the FISA process, AOC; the whole deep state, and so much more.

Finally, under the overwhelming weight of all the news the Crier cried out, “There’s just too much! How will anyone ever believe me? This rock soup news is a mess!” And so, the Crier knew that it was up to him to fix this mess. “I’ll sort it out, I’ll boil it down, I’ll clean up this mess.” And that he did. From that day forward, he was called the Mess-enger.

Now, when the news is a mess, everyone knows where to go, you go to the Messenger.

“Aren’t you just tired of politicians and news pundits saying, “just to be clear”?”
