Death and the Washington Post

Outside, the them is 12 (F).  We are heading into a week of cold weather with only one day matching the bone chilling cold we had all of last week.  After that, warmer air will move into the area.  Will it be a February thaw?  I somehow doubt that.  I suspect our temps will not be climbing into the upper 40s (F) and low 50s (F) until the end of February.  

Yesterday was productive.  The two aquariums were taken care of, loads of laundry done, and decent little workout.  I only left the house once, and that was to go pick up a nice bottle of wine.  In a way I was celebrating.  The first draft of The Body in 4:4 Time will be wrapped up today.   And, most importantly, my Income Tax refund was deposited into my bank account.  That alone was reason to celebrate.  Not that I'm going to buy something extravagant.  Nope, most of it's going to be big, lump some payment on the principal of my car loan.  I'm going to see if I can pay that sucker off in a year.  That will be a Woo Hoo! moment.

I also signed up for Amazon Prime TV for a month, no commercials.  I like the Fallout TV series, and unfortunately that's on a Bezos owned streamer.  After I watch the 8 episodes, I will cancel.  For those of you who don't know, this is how you do it nowadays.  Subscribe for a month and then cancel, especially something like Prime, which now wants you to rent just about everything they stream.  As for the commercial free?  I'd rather pay that $3 than sit through 10 minutes of commercials per episode.  I can think of better things to waste my time on than have to watch or listen to advertisements for products I'm never going to buy.

And the Washington Post continues to rapidly decline.  This was one of their headlines this morning.

You'll notice that this is from the editorial board.  No one is brave enough to put their name on this opinion.  It's a good thing the bottom is falling out of their subscriber service.  I saw this little graphic, which says quite a lot about which Main Stream Media corporations Americans watch to get their news.

Apparently most Americans get their information from a wide range of sources.  Most of the minority party, the Republicans, get their news from Fox Entertainment.  While the Main Stream Media will sanitize the Orange Anus, Fox entertainment glorifies him.  To balance out that glorification, they espouse hatred for everything else.  If you don't bow down to Orangie, not only are you a loser, you're evil.  One of Fox's only bright spots is that for some odd reason they like to have Pete Buttigieg on to tear the network a new butthole.  

Later this morning, Orangie will be speaking the National Prayer Breakfast where he'll whine and complain about the 2020 election, and where a lot of phony Christians will thank God for letting them sell their souls to a Spawn of Satan.
