“THEY STILL DON’T GET IT”
by OPOVV, ©2017
(Jul. 14, 2017) — “Good evening, ladies and gentlemen, and we welcome you to our show, ‘The Pulse of the Nation,’ with open arms. The very fact that you decided to spend time with us makes us very proud that our product is worthwhile to pursue. We know that your time is as valuable as ours, so rather than waste any more of it, let’s roll up our sleeves and get to it.
“The other day we introduced a new concept to our show: ‘Pulse: Letters to Roving,’ where we answered letters at random, and that’s what we’ll start our show with today. Let me reach into our box and see what I pull out.
Dear Mr. Roving Reporter;
What about China and the North Koreans? If we thought going into Japan in 1945 would be a bloodbath, it’ll be nothing like going to war with the flat-line brain population of North Korea. They’ll really commit Suppuku on a grand scale as soon as they realize that there’s no hope of victory and, furthermore, there never was a snowball’s chance.
And one last question: talk is cheap, right? So how come all of those countries that border the Mediterranean Sea are so bent on ‘Climate Change’ yet continue to treat the Mediterranean as one big SEPTIC TANK?
A longtime viewer,
Chet
“Well, Chet, so glad you wrote to me. Unfortunately, we only allow one question or one comment per letter, and since your letter violated our rules we’ll just pull another one out of the hat. Too bad, because I would’ve liked to respond to your question about the Med transforming into nothing but a smelly cesspool of garbage where any and all waterborne diseases view the Med as one big petri dish where they are allowed to multiply as if they lived, for instance, in South-Side Chicago.
“Because Chet asked more than one question or made more than one comment means that the time allocated to answering letters has expired, unless you want to hear one more. Let’s hear it from the crowd: okay; okay: one more.
Dear Roving;
Why don’t you ask the Talking Dog some questions?
Nancy and I’m 7½
“Now there’s an excellent example of the correct letter format. For those who don’t know, one of our frequent guests is a Vietnam Veteran who has a dog which uses the Vet as her mouthpiece, believe it or not. I didn’t at first, but the dog uses telepathy to send messages to the Vet, who in turn somehow translates it all into words that we can comprehend. And to answer your question, Nancy, we will the next time we see them.
“And now let us interview one of our neighbors. Excuse me, Miss, got time to answer a question and to be on television?”
“Sure; go ahead and ask your questions.”
“Well, one, really. What’s your feeling about the members of Congress: your overall view of the institution as far as doing the job for which it designed?”
“Good question if I could answer with ‘expletive deleteds,’ but you’d edit them out, so I’ll just say that I’m mighty disappointed in the caliber of and pettiness of the members in the whole display. Isn’t it interesting that when they’re interviewed one-on-one they seem to come across individually as reasonable people, yet when they act as a group, like in the House or in the Senate, the whole system breaks down and we – the American people – get the short end of the stick.
“Take Obamacare; why, it had no business getting passed in the first place and, here it is, eight years later, and they can’t come up with a better slice of bread? Give me a break.
“And why are people like McCain still there? Another multiple-term loser. He’s as much of a Republican as we’re admirers of the IRS. And there’s a slew of others who’ve been there for more than 20, 30 years; swamp dwellers, each and every one of them who we need to kick out.
“And then there’s the ‘Caught Liars’ and ‘Caught with their hand in the cookie jar’ who are also still in Washington, and they have the audacity to wonder why Trump won. They never thought about the somebody who can’t be bought, and they still don’t get it. They still don’t understand that maybe Trump and his kids aren’t there for the perks and the bribes and kickbacks; that they wouldn’t’ve taken the STIMULUS MONEY under the table had they been around during Obama’s first term or, for that matter, the OIL-FOR-FOOD money that the United Nations dished out when Saddam was Iraq’s dictator.”
“Good answer, and I’m sorry to say that our time is, unfortunately, up. So, on behalf of the crew, I’d like to wish you all a goodnight: Goodnight.
“Good show. Congress: the weakest link; America’s Achilles’ Heel, because Congress, as an institution, has let the American people down, so much so, in fact, that they’ve put us all in jeopardy with their petty politically-correct destructiveness. And then there’s the courts in Hawaii and San Francisco who need to read the Constitution one more time. Burger time: my treat.”
