Twilight Zone


  Sometimes it feels like we are living in the twilight zone. For real. Scan a newspaper or watch a news program and the things that are being reported will make your head spin. A full on exorcist moment. For example...

  Donald Trump and Kim Kardashian met yesterday to talk about...wait for it....prison reform! WTH??? At first, I thought this was a joke. I mean what does either of them know about anything really except self-promotion? But it was an actual meeting. About prison reform. It makes me laugh out loud just typing that. That my dear friends in the U.S. is who your leader is discussing important issues with. I wonder if he will take her recommendations seriously. I'd bet yes. Everyone should take her advice on how to take the perfect selfie but prisons?

  The makers of ambient, the sleep aid that Roseanne is blaming for her recent Twitter "joke", has the greatest response to her claim. "While all pharmaceutical treatments have side effects, racism is not a known side effect of any Sanofi medication." Perfection. Whoever is in charge of social media for this company deserves a raise for that tweet alone!

  Denmark has joined France, Austria, and Belguim with a controversial ban on face coverings. More commonly known as the "burqa ban", it does not include motorcycle helmets or face covering due to cold weather. Ok, so what does that leave? Burqas and niqabs. I don't get the fear involved with these coverings myself. But what is interesting is the vote passed 75-30 with 74 absentees. How can a law be passed when almost 50% of the voters don't show? Interesting.

 The list could go on and on and on. Kids dying after being left in a vehicle with 30-degree temperatures. A real-life Spiderman climbing a building to save a child while the father plays Pokemon Go. FEMA saying the death toll in Puerto Rico is around 45 and another study says over 4500.....why such a huge discrepancy? 

  We can't keep up with the insanity. So I'm not even going to try.
