Breaking News:
Almost an entire section of New York was in darkness after an electrical explosion put a stop to trains and traffic lights. What a shemozzle! And the mayor of the city wasn’t even in town. No one could cook their dinner. It was useless going out to eat as the restaurants too were without power. Theatre performances ground to a halt. Nancy Tubman, the rising darling of Broadway, was half way through singing “Somewhere over the…” when the blackout hit. For two and a half hours residents were subjected to darkness. One can only imagine the havoc that will ensue once the Russians gain the power to flick a switch on the entire city. Congresswoman, Eliza Muktha Zaiton, from California said, “This power blackout in parts of a suburb of New York was yet another manifestation of global warming and of the racism that has gripped the country. So step up and shut up.” Hector Tronkwell of the Hollywood Actors’ Union said that “This effing halting of effing Nancy effing Tubman, the effing rising effing darling of effing Broadway, half way through her effing song was yet another effing example of where we are effing at.”
Not the Breaking News:
Mrs. Claudia Jones said she had been living in a tent on the street with her three children for four months now. With winter fast approaching Congresswoman, Eliza Muktha Zaiton, from California, said something needs to be done to fight the cold so she is supporting the removal of all tents from city streets.
Thoughts and prayers. Right?

That’s one monster storm heading for the south east of their country. Not even the Trumpster’s firepower can stop it, let alone thoughts and prayers.

Hopefully the wind will dry the washing on the line. Yes – it’s a bit scary.

Just as the tents on the roadsides are the effing playthings to mighty Congresswomen, human lairs are the effing playthings to tempests and asteroids. Thanks for this chastening piece.

It’s perhaps not too much of an excellent thing to try to cater for all sides… I’m talking about myself.

Some news are too negligible for the great progressive minds to pay attention to.

We see the great progressives ignore the “minor” news every day.

This pales in comparison to some of the dumb things politicians have said here lately. Now we have a major hurricane heading to the Carolinas, and there’s complaining that Trump caused it and refuses to stop it!

It looks like it may hit our coast toward the weekend, if it speeds up – Marsh Harbor in the Bahamas, which my family knows well, has been leveled. Looks like a bomb went off. Hopefully it will peter out as it moves north along the coast.

A sad but very true piece about the value of what makes the news Bruce.

Thanks, Andrea. I’ve sort of given up on the News because its integrity seems to have fallen apart.
