Window Lickers

Most of what passes for commentary on the airwaves is actually VAUDEVILLE!
 No matter how you look at it the show must go on. Rush Limbaugh once said "Politics is showbiz for ugly people." Kind of hard to argue the point. Could Lincoln get elected today? NOOOOOO! Too tall and those ears would do Dumbo proud. It is appearance and not thought that counts. 


Remember this at all times. Newscasters all have what is called a "Disfigurement Clause". Meaning that if something happens and the talking head winds up looking like Quasimoto the career is gone. Maybe they could go to radio. You can be butt ugly in radio and still have fans and a career. But that takes more talent. You have to create pictures in the mind of the listener. You the listener have to bring something to the table. Still it does not lead to cogent thought. 


There are several radio show in Chicago that appeal to thoughtful listeners and the Canadian Broadcasting system is a gem. Phil Hendrie says more with his satirical characters than most folks do in an entire career. Most talking heads are window lickers. Matter of fact they give window lickers a bad name.


Last thought. Did you ever notice how car companies love Western Names? The Chevy Cheyenne. The Tucson. The Aztec. The Dodge Dakota. The Chevy Apache There are lots of them. I live in Farmington New Mexico. Beautiful place. Hunt, fish, take pictures, mountains short distance away, great and I mean great Library (google it and look at the pictures) Ship Rock, Navajo folks, fry bread, tamales to die for and is there one bleepin' car named for us? Not on your life. I am not whining, I am just saying. 

I am tired as I handled some sacks of concrete this afternoon. I am going home and take a hot shower. 
Blessings on your little pointed heads.
