I’m sitting at Panera, trying to eat & do a little research, but can't concentrate due to the horrendous 1st date going on behind me. I just can’t help but laugh at the middle aged and not so attractive dude, who’s date is actually attractive, shoot himself in the foot by spouting off bullshit about political policies he clearly doesn’t know anything about - other than what‘s been spoon fed to him by his favorite fox news shows.
By the way, do people not realize that political commentators are NOT political authorities? They are paid entertainers. This is how they earn their salaries: They saying outrageous things that draw in an audience of like minded minions. Advertisers see the number of people the show attracts, and is therefore willing to pay to advertise during that time slot. Knowing that the more viewers the show has, the more the show can charge advertisers, hosts then compete with each other to say something more over the top than the last one, thus bringing more viewers to their show, which translates into more advertising dollars, which means a bigger paycheck for said host. Even that jackass Rush Limbaugh admits to this and calls his show entertainment.
Anyway, back to my original post… You can tell by the look on her face and her distant “uh-huh” replies that she, a) doesn’t really give a shit, or b) can tell he’s too ignorant to actually have an honest discussion about the topic.
Poor girl. Clearly I feel sorry for her. So I’m going to go eat some german-chokolatekake for her.
