I don\u2019t get out as much as I should.\u00a0 When I get news from the outside world, I realize that I\u2019ve stuck my head in the South End sand and tried to avoid negativity.\u00a0 If I stayed off my newsfeeds on the computer, stopped listening to NPR down at the studio and canceled our subscriptions to the local fishwrappers , I might have a chance to live a life free of menacing intrusions into my otherwise peaceful little dreamworld.\u00a0 But as you know and I do too, the outer world is forever scratching at the door to get in.<\/p>\n
Today is the day the Memphis murder of a young black guy by 5 black cops is going to hit the airwaves, probably inciting riots and outrage and the sequel to the George Floyd killing in Minneapolis.\u00a0 The Black Lives Matter protests obviously didn\u2019t have their memo read down there in Tennessee.\u00a0 And the folks who argue that Critical Race Theory has no place in their school systems will get to make the argument once more.\u00a0 The fact that the alleged murderers were all black too should make their case a bit easier.\u00a0 Lost in the shuffle will be any need for reforming police departments to eliminate this sort of endemic violence by cops.<\/p>\n
But I\u2019m ahead of myself here.\u00a0 This is tomorrow\u2019s news.\u00a0 Today I\u2019m more worried about what I discovered going on in Indiana where their legislature is proposing its schools ban furries, those kids who identify with animals apparently.\u00a0 Maybe our schools out here have furries too, I don\u2019t really know, but now I really am concerned.\u00a0 And maybe lucky I don\u2019t live in Indiana where, for all I know, the furries are infiltrating their classrooms.<\/p>\n
You really can\u2019t make this stuff up.\u00a0 Although Indiana can.\u00a0 We live now in a world right out of National Enquirer.\u00a0 Nothing much is too insane to consider not only a possibility but probable.\u00a0 Litter boxes in the schoolrooms ,Jewish lasers from outer space starting forest fires, critical race theory being taught in kindergarten, Big Foot running for the U.S. Senate, Jesus orbiting earth in a spaceship, go ahead and make up a few of your own, post it on Facebook, let it go viral and next thing you know it\u2019s squatting in every living room on the one eyed computer screen.<\/p>\n
Furries!\u00a0 Missouri wants to ban litter boxes so I guess they got furries already too, they\u2019re spreading west!\u00a0 I\u2019m keeping my eye out for the school bus drops, see if the furries are here yet and yeah, I bet they are.\u00a0 I\u2019m okay with it so long as they stay out of my garden.\u00a0 I got enough furry pests in there already.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
