Politicalized Cancellation

 Well, the end of the work week has finally arrived.  Our current outside temp is 75 (F).  If the forecasters are correct, it's only going to be climbing another 7 degrees until it reaches today's predicted high.  We shall see this afternoon how accurate they are because since summer began, their highs have been low.

I worked yesterday.  It was slow.  I did sell vinyl planking for a staircase.  I'm about halfway to my sales goal for the week.  

Something nice did happen.  A fan of my books let me know she was finding The Body in History compelling.  That's such a nice word to hear when you write something, that it's being appreciated.  However, I asked her if she was picking up on any of the mythological elements and she wasn't.  Ouch.  Sybil is another way of saying oracle and there are a number of famous Sybils in Greek mythology, three of which stand out.  And, of course... are you waiting for it?  There are 3 Sybils in The Body in History.

Remember back when you were a child and most summer evenings meant chasing and trying to catch fireflies?  Well, nowadays I don't have to do that.  One of them has made it into the house and taken up residence in the bottle I use to water my plants.  I will set him free this evening, that is if I can get him out of the bottle.

In case you haven't heard, CBS/Paramount has decided to cancel the Stephen Colbert show because of... financial reasons.  Of course, that's not the true reason.  In the real world Shari Redstone, the controlling shareholder or Paramount wants to sell her shares to Skydance Media.  The sale is/was huge and required government approval.  In order to make this sale a done deal, Shari paid off Orangie's administration with a $16 million dollar bribe... calling it an out of court settlement for Orangie's claim that CBS had edited a Kamala Harris interview.  On July 7 the government approved the the sale.  Because Colbert is on occasion critical of Orangie, who's ego gets bruised very easily, many believe the termination of his show, the most popular on late night TV, was politically motivated.  I'm with that crowd.  Maybe greedy Shari will suffer through scabies for the rest of her life.

And finally, Orangie's administration revealed that he has some sort of venous issue going on. This revelation is odd because he's always in perfect shape.  Again, many believe something more serious is effecting him and I agree with them, however, I also believe this is just another piece of shit Orangie's throwing at the wall in order to get people to stop talking about Epstein.
