Yesterday was the pits for drivers, and a guffaw for bloggers who are retired. I watched the weather reports on the various TV stations, and they all make it sound like we were invaded.
“WE INTERRUPT THIS PROGRAM FOR AN IMPORTANT NEWS BULLETIN; SNOW, ICE, SLEET, RAIN AND FROZEN TOOTIES IS EXPECTED IN THE METROPOLITAN AREA WITHIN THE NEXT TEN YEARS OR MORE. NEWS AT ELEVEN.”
Naturally, I went into my basement and hid under the workbench I have, bringing with me the contents of the refrigerator in case it is a natural disaster.
This is called: “Juicing up the news”, when there is no new news to squeeze. Why not create drama over the weather. Of course, there is always traffic.
“THE WHOLE TOWN, THE COUNTY, AND YES, EVEN THE STATE WAS BRIEFLY CUT OFF FROM ALL CIVILIZATION TODAY BETWEEN 7:15 AND 7:16 AM, WHEN A MS. GRACIE STUDS STOPPED FOR DIRECTIONS. NEWS AT 11:15 (THE NETWORK IS MAKING A BIGGER DEAL ABOUT THE WEATHER)
Would you like to hear: “WE INTERRUPT THIS PROGRAM FOR AN IMPORTANT NEWS BULLETIN; SOMEONE BLEW UP DELBLOGGOLO”? Or maybe you would like to see his picture on a milk carton, then write to: joedelbroccolo@yahoo.com, tell him: “I wish”.
