Why invent absurdist when reality gives you it for free! Everyone likes a feel good story only problem is when it becomes a ratings game.8 year old blind chest playing protégé vs 90 year old Atlantic swimmer. Who wins the nation's hearts
So true, Kevin. So true. Winning the heart is key to ratings. I am now thinking about the youngster and the senior. Who indeed will win the ratings? Thanks so much, Kevin!
With just the right blend of satire and perceptive thinking, you've perfectly captured the absurdity of today's newsmaking world. Another winner, my friend! Please keep them coming!
Thank you, Richard! In the latest real news, I just heard our trapped orca here on the West Coast finally fnd a way to the open ocean. This story ends, for now.

As a dog lover, I understand the love of animals They are the ones who will inherit the earth

Ratings aside, it's so great to hear about the trapped orca freeing itself! Ratings be damned! If it weren't for some courageous writers putting everything on the line...! Case in point: Prince Andrew's connection to Jeffrey Epstein!
Great point. Investigative journalism seems to be beyond ratings. At the same time, Billy Wilder's gem about what drives the news, Ace in the Hole, just came to mind. Thanks for a thought-provoking comment, my friend!
