The Pope’s Funeral

Pope Francis was a man of humility and compassion, and true to his life, he had a rather subdued send-off.

Of course, it was an event attended by world leaders who all dressed in black (except for one idiot) as the invite asked.

The one idiot also broke protocol as he wanted to sit in the first row, where he promptly fell asleep.

That’s about right.

I am wondering what the rest of the world thinks as they watch all this.

The tariff ‘plan’ is a mess, as the impact is beginning to be felt. Ship yards in California are seeing business evaporate.

A recession feels inevitable, and car commercials on television are all talking about ‘pre-tariff’ prices to entice buyers.

Business leaders are talking lay-offs, and recent college graduates are awaiting the garnishment of their wages as student loan shark interest rates are enforced.

The pentagon is in shambles and the leader is putting his war plans on social media and sharing them with his friends and family.

In the middle of it all there was a tweet about Deion Sanders’ kid not getting drafted in the early rounds.

“He should be picked IMMEDIATELY!” Shitler tweeted out as though he knew more about it than everyone else.

It’s hard to ignore all of it, and just try and live a life because the bottom line is that all the things we were taught about the Democracy…

…are being tossed away in defiance of everything and everyone.

As for the draft itself, it’s the same thing every year. Fans of the team yell:

“That’s the guy I wanted!” 

It’s an inexact science and all the draft ‘experts’ never admit if they are wrong anyway.

How the NFL ever got people to see around and watch it is beyond me.

To top it off, the Yankees got rained out today after blowing a save last night….

…and it was cold and rainy here again…

Ah well…

…’Modern Family’ is always available.
