All The News That Fits

Excuse our scattershot approach, but this is one of those days when the news has, as Emperor Joseph II once told Mozart, “Too many notes.”

Mixed situations and mixed emotions, all hitting hard and fast while we’re still sorting through the emotional baggage left over from the midterm elections. And our immediate reaction is to simply stare and shake our heads as we try to incorporate these many stories into a cohesive whole.

Not mentioned above is Jeff Session’s resignation as Attorney General, and all the wild speculation going on about what will happen next regarding the Mueller investigation. We’re betting that will turn colorful in a hurry. And we expect some amusing showboating from Nancy Pelosi soon, as she struggles to demonstrate that she’s still young and hip enough to wield the Speaker’s gavel.

Two stories above do have an interesting connection: CNN’s Jim Acosta lost his White House press credentials owing to repeated instances of being an aggressive, repugnant douche nozzle – and the mainstream media is going nuts about this “threat” to the First Amendment. But there is not a whisper of comment or complaint from these same sources after a howling mob attacked the home of Fox News personality Carlson Tucker, battering his door until it cracked, and screaming that he would not be safe.

We trust that if a masked mob staged a similar assault on the home of Joy Behar, it would be a major story in the mainstream press, and probably provoke an outright call for martial law.

It’s all a bit overwhelming, which is why the weekend is arriving just in the nickel dime. May it be restorative for all of us and – God willing – the Republic.
