PAYING RESPECTS
by OPOVV, ©2018
(May 29, 2018) — “Good evening, ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to ‘The Pulse of the Nation,’ the one informative show that just lays out the truth. Recently we’ve had a number of complaints from people who like to see the world through rose-colored glasses; they get upset when we point out that Islam is not the pillar of women’s rights as some proclaim it is, just as some spout that the beheadings are just a misunderstanding that’s been practiced for the last 1,400 years. Excuse us while we break for a commercial.”

“Another complaint comes from people who can’t seem to grasp the difference between ‘lawful’ and ‘unlawful,’ ‘legal’ and ‘illegal,’ ‘documented’ and ‘undocumented,’ DACA and those standing in line for the freebies that they haven’t contributed to and most likely never will; and between ‘Angel Moms’ and those who have yet to be touched by theft, rapes and murders from animals. And yet another commercial.”

“During the presidential election of 2012 there was this one vetted and qualified candidate (unlike the de facto Obama) who suggested that our prison system be modeled after the Japanese model: run as a World War II Basic Training: toe-the-line; no parole (no time off for good behavior: bad behavior results in added time); no tattoos allowed; no gangs allowed; no wanton cruelty dished-out by the wardens and guards; no contraband. Furthermore, any DA (or any other officer of the court) caught fabricating or withholding evidence shall themselves be subjected to the same verdict had their nefarious scheme worked. Planting a gun is quite common, as is planting drugs. And no hesitation to sentence corrupt judges and dirty cops to the general population in any of our prisons. Excuse us, please, for a commercial.”

“Sometimes we wonder about the line of right and wrong: imagine the DOJ spying on American citizens or the FBI leaking classified information. Imagine the Secretary of State allowing her Ambassador to be tortured to death, a country invaded and a dictator who became a reluctant ally of our country murdered. See what I mean?
“And do you see what I mean about people getting upset because they can’t handle the truth? It’s been a decade since Obama’s records were sealed, and there are still a few Americans who actually believe that Obama was properly vetted, irrespective of the shenanigans of Howard Dean and Nancy Pelosi that everyone, including the mainstream media, bought into, failing to realize that the fix extended to every election board of every state and territory of the USA? Yes, the Deep State is that far reaching. Actually, in order to chime in you must’ve read The Pentagon Papers, at a minimum. Another break.”

“And now that I’ve said my two-cents’ worth, let’s see what our neighbors think of the world today. Excuse me, sir, mind being interviewed on ‘Pulse,’ the exciting news show?”
“I don’t know how exciting you think you are, but I’m sure it’s not as exciting as you think it is.”
“Thanks for the compliment, and many returns yourself. So, what’s your name and what are you up to today?”
“My name is Steve and I’m off to the Oak Woods Cemetery to pay my respects.”
“If I was a wise guy I’d say you were a day late.”
“It’s like this: I watched all the ceremonies and such on the TV yesterday and I noticed that those who were in uniform saluted, while most of the others had their hand over their hearts.”
“Well, everything seems normal, so far.”
“What I mean is that I want to give what honor I can give to the dead, so I purchased a hat like I used to wear when I served so I’m going to a National Cemetery and giving a proper hand salute, is what I’m doing. And here comes my train. See you around.”
“Take care. Just goes to show you never know. Is that about it? What do you say we break for a commercial?”

“We’re back and we see a young lady approaching. I didn’t? I was just told I forgot to say that we’re on our favorite corner across the street from the railroad station. And here she is: excuse me, please, Roving for ‘Pulse.’”
“Oh, yes, my name is Chris and we watch your show. I’d say ABC took another nose dive; lost even more viewers.”
“Oh, you mean because what Roseanne Barr tweeted about Valerie Jarrett?”
“That’s right. I’m beginning to think that the dumbest people on the planet are ABC producers. Didn’t Lawrence Welk used to be on ABC? And, even after 60 years, it’s still on.”
“Roseanne has about 30 million viewers that she’ll take with her wherever she goes.”
“And if anyone ever needed any more proof, that’s it, isn’t it? And here’s my train. Bye.”
“Bye. Well, so much for our First Amendment. One more commercial and one more interview.”

“And we’re back. Our editor wants us to read a letter from one of our viewers, so let’s get to it.
Dear Roving:
How come you don’t have more of your friends on? I like the Turtle Who Sits on Rock in Moonlight and Madam Shylock and her frog friend, Henry.
Longtime Viewers,
Dave and Loraine
PS: We voted for Trump to deport the illegal immigrants, ALL the illegal immigrants: no exceptions.

Dear Longtime:

“And Molly, our sound-boom operator, is signaling me to wish you all, on behalf of the crew, a goodnight: Goodnight.
“Great show. Let’s put in a call to Henry and Mr. Turtle. Burger time: my treat.”
