Day 155
Word of the day BALATRONIC a rare 19th century word meaning “like a Buffoon” and we have so many to choose from!
I can’t let Trump’s assertion that Biden will destroy the American dream pass without stating the bleeding obvious that he has already done so!
Wendy and I try very hard to be positive about the world but in the face of the news one reads each day it is not easy. Assuming you can believe what you read as accurate or truthful it is a unrelenting cascade of horror and mismanagement. Unfortunately it has been this way for many years and yet I don’t recall feeling quite so pissed off about world events as I do at present? The sheer amount of lies and distrust that pervades almost every platform has become so endemic that we no longer trust what we hear or see. Politicians who are supposed to set some form of example behave in such a random and cavalier fashion that not a single word that they say any longer seems to be trustworthy. We have know idea if we are being told the truth indeed our default position is that we aren’t! When trust of another or the integrity of those who report has been lost we have are in deep trouble and that is where we are now! Take the Maguire story. I have no idea who is telling the truthful story. Reports from Greece tell an entirely different tale than the one reported from the interview with the Man United player this morning. Now in the great scheme of things what has happened to this footballer and his friends and family is not that important however upsetting it may have been. We will probably never know the truth as each side spin it in their favour. I suppose it has always been this way but with the immediacy of todays news it is so easy to distort the story instantly! Frankly I don’t really care what happened to a millionaire footballer while on holiday and it is only reported because of who he is anyway!
I hope you have a good weekend bank holiday and....
Stay well
