Hounded by the news

headlinesIs anyone else as bothered by recent headlines as I am? I mean sometimes I just want to scream! Day after day, just when you think it can’t get any worse, it does! It’s like the world has turned into the Theater of the Absurd. Truth is fiction, fiction is truth. I keep hoping I’ll wake up from this dream and find that saner heads are really in charge, but then I remember that we are, after all, talking about humans.

So I just looked up “fox” to see what the definition is, since the word keeps coming up in connection with the news. The definition is kind of interesting:

noun
  1. a carnivorous mammal of the dog family with a pointed muzzle and bushy tail, proverbial for its cunning.
  2. informal
    a cunning or sly person.

And I must confess, I had to look up the meaning of cunning, and I found this: having or showing skill in achieving one’s ends by deceit or evasion

You know what I’m sayin’? It’s just all too weird.

  1. Dear Mr. Oxbow, you are absolutely right on target…”Theater of the Absurd” is EXACTLY what we are experiencing. I am quite concerned for the future of our democracy. All of us need to be engaged and do what we can to help democracy remain viable. Thank you for sharing your thoughts. We must remain hopeful.
