You know, except for me and you, people, as a rule, are pretty stupid. And sometimes, I'm not so sure about me. Fooled you, didn't I?
Anyway, I was reading a report that the officials in Hyattsville, Maryland were up in arms because an episode of ABC Television's Commander In Chief, depicted the town as crime-ridden. Hello in there. You idiots, don't you realize that Commander In Chief is fiction? I'm surprised the mayor of Hyattsville didn't address his concerns to Madame President.
I mean think about it people. It's a story of a woman president. That in itself tells you it's total fiction. Can you imagine - a woman as President? I think not.
Here's another eye-opener for you Hyattsvillains, there is no race of Klingons bent on destroying us. At least none that I'm aware of. In other words, why, if you have half a piece of brain in those thick Maryland skulls, would you get upset at something that's clearly fiction. And, let's just say, to humor me, that you did get upset, at least have enough sense to realize that you'll only look like a bunch of backwater morons to publicize your concerns.
Just keep it to yourself. That way a few folks might never catch on as to how foolish you are. I mean, I never thought of the good folks of Hyattsville being exceptionally stupid...before today.
I guess when any TV drama comes on from now on, they'll have to have a disclaimer to let the folks in Hyattsville know not to take it too seriously.
As long as we're talking stories in the news, did you see how Mayor Governor Wilder single-handedly bagged a bear cub and dragged it back to Maymont. I hope he can get some rest now. Although, judging from what he had to say on Jimmy Barrett's morning news program, I think he's still feeling the pain. He spoke of the many who had been tragedized by the tragedy. Huh? Tragedized? Who does Mayor Wilder think he is, George Kingfish Stephens?
Well Andy, I done been tragedized by de tragedy, you knows. So I'ze hopin' this new bear cub will sacroleviate my pain.
I will say, to avoid being shot, I thought Amos and Andy was the best comedy ever on television. Unfortunately, many blacks thought it presented blacks in a derogatory manner, so it was yanked.
Somehow, the blacks were perfectly alright with all those Afro-centric comedies that portray blacks as hopping in and out of bed with everyone who walks by. Go figure. Maybe it's just the blacks in Hyattsville, though.
Or, maybe, I am the one that is stupid. If that's the case, then I really do feel tragedized.

Look Out For Those Illegals
When the immigrants first arrived, most of the locals took a somewhat passive approach. Sure, there were those nay-sayers who foresaw trouble. But, whatever the case, they (the immigrants) were allowed in...actually, welcomed in on many occasions.
And, at first, these immigrants seemed to have an appreciation for the local customs. Sure, they had their own customs and cultures which they brought with them, but they didn't seem bent on destroying everything that was already in place here. That was, of course, at first.
What the locals may not have realized is that those immigrants intended right from the start to make their "fortune" here and then ship that fortune back home. In fact, there were individuals back home who had actually helped the immigrants to come here in order to do just that.
After a while the immigrants began to feel they should have greater rights. It was as if they figured they had as much right to the land and the wealth of the land as did the citizens. It was then that the citizens began to get a little frighthened. Maybe these immigrants weren't content with being visitors, or even second-class citizens.
The fear on the part of the citizens has proven to be well-founded. The immigrants began to demand more and more and more. Before you knew it, the immigrants had grown to such great numbers that it was the citizens who often felt like the second-class citizens. Things began to change.
The citizens began to fight back. They realized they had somewhat been duped. They knew the immigration problem was a real threat. But it appeared to be too late. The immigrants were entrenched in the land. And, they weren't going to leave.
The immigrants took advantage of their large numbers. Now it became clear just what these upstart immigrants intended to do. And, you know what? The immigrants did exactly what they had probably planned to do all along. They fought for their so-called rights. And they won!
And next year, those immigrants (or their offspring) will celebrate the four hundredth anniversary of their first permanent excursion across the border.
