Firing Of Stephen Colbert

   The firing of Stephen Colbert by CBS came as a shock to a lot of people, especially since he has the highest ratings for a Late Night talk show host. But this is not unprecedented.

   Have you ever heard of The Smothers Brothers? Their one hour comedy show was canceled in the late 1960s by "CBS" at the time when they were one of the network's highest rated shows.

   Sound Familiar?

   They constantly ridiculed President Nixon for his policies and the handling of the Vietnam War. At the time, it was well publicized that Nixon was putting pressure on CBS to get rid of the Brothers because of all negativity from their show.

   Sound Familiar?

   (Old Pumpkin Face hasn't started a war yet but it's not because he isn't trying!)

   Yet, the Oligarchy, Robber Barons, Republicans, and Billionaires of this country will never let its citizens, get along with one another. Hatred and Division between Races makes them money and gives them power over people, who rather blame anybody, but themselves, for their problems. Because the Rich told them it's okay to do so!

 

   It has even happen to me. I had a guess writer (Dave) back when Pumpkin Face was elected the first time around and he criticized Taco for his prejudices, policies, and the man himself when the long arm of the Rich came knocking on my blog and told me, first; I need to take the post down or I will loose my ability to blog, second; they will no longer advertise on my blog until I do, taking away what little income this was generating in the first place and third; they are going to change the way I sent global emails to my core group of followers. Which has declined ever since. Effectively killing my blog.

There Is A Way Out Of Doom Scrolling

‘I don’t feel alone anymore’

***** 

   I believe this is the third time that I have refereed to a story from the Good News Network on my blog.

   I have been writing this Blog since 2012 and besides writing about my life, flash fiction, stuff I find interesting about science, and so on. I have also commented on the political scene in this country. Which can way heavily on a person's mind after awhile.

   I often think about that one line from the song Flagpole Sitta by Harvey Danger when I try to understands how we have come to this point in our history. All because of hatred.

"Been around the world and found that only stupid people are breeding!

   So if you are like me and you want to find out the good news happening in the world, and not doom scrolling all the time, I highly recommend the Good News Network!

Beer Is Proof God Loves Us

When I first met my wife, she used to call me "The Drunken Master" because of all the beer I drank, all of the time. When I look back now and think about all the money I spent over the years on beer, if I had that money today, think of all the beer I could buy!

Hey, have you heard that Apple, the computer company, stopped developing their own Autonomous Cars? They had a huge problem to overcome first. They were having trouble loading Windows!

I can't wait to see Saint Peter at the Pearly Gates in Heaven. Once he gives me the Gate code, it will be the first time I ever get a chance to live in a Gated Community!

If you have been reading this Blog over the years, you know that I was a Musician for many years. You know, after all these years I still get recognized once in awhile. It is at Family Reunions, but I still get recognized!

The other day, I went to one of those fancy discounted Oriental Massage Parlors, hoping to get a "Happy Ending." It turned out to be self-serve!

This is,

Hoping To Bring You A Little Joy On This 4th Of July

If You Live In The USA

If Not

I Hope I Still Brought You Joy
