Welcome friends!
So I was watching the TV the other day and I ran across some schlock called the X Factor. I have to say I found it pretty nauseating, so I thought I might as well sit down and try to figure it all out. I mean, it’s just a TV show, right? Well, guess what. I eventually decided that my reaction to the show had something to do with the conservative ethos. Am I losing it or is conservatism is some shape or form really behind everything that’s ugly in the world? Well, I don’t know. I’ll let you be the judge of that.
OK, so what set me off this time? Well, this particular network masterpiece is one of those talent shows in which young people (mostly), many of them unemployed or underemployed or just down on their luck in some way (thanks mostly to the Republican Party, Wall Street, real estate tycoons, and their legions of conservative enablers), try to impress a panel of random performers and assorted industry c__pmeisters to win some money or a recording contract or whatever the hell it is. It’s quite a spectacle. Unfortunately, it’s not a very pleasant one... Sorry but only selected archived (previous year) posts are currently available full text on this website. All posts including this one are available in my annual anthology ebook series available at the Amazon Kindle Bookstore for a nominal fee. Hey, we all need to make a buck somehow, right? If you find my timeless jewels of wisdom amusing or perhaps even amusingly irritating throw me a bone now and then. Thank you my friends!
