Tippy-top Shape

If you have not yet viewed Seth Meyers' "A Closer Look" about the annual White House Easter Egg Roll on Monday, and if you need a good laugh and a good cry at the same time, by all means, google that sucker. I swear, the late night comedians hardly have to work at all these days. All Seth Meyers had to do was punctuate the nonsense that sputtered forth from that orange man's mouth. There is no name for that large white house or building (whatever you want to call it)? Seriously? But don't worry, it's in "tippy-top shape." OMG.

It's amazing that we can still laugh. Sometimes. And then one has to wonder if the idiocy put forth is a deliberate ploy to distract us from the terrible things being done by this administration. While we were laughing about happy little kids on Easter Monday being lectured about the size and strength of our military when all they really wanted to do was roll eggs, plans were underway to weaken fuel emissions standards, send the National Guard to patrol the border with Mexico, and escalate a trade war with China. The look on the Easter Bunny's face pretty much says it all.

Is there any point in me pontificating about the incompetence, the ignorance, the arrogance, the meanness, the bullying, the racism, the misogyny, the buffoonery, the dishonesty, the egotism, the deception, the fear-mongering, the illiteracy, and the abuse of power which define this fake President? I'd either be preaching to the choir or to deaf ears. I will spare you my rant.

But we are NOT in tippy-top shape, not by any means. We are in a perilous place, and if we survive this nightmare, it will take decades to repair the damage being done on a daily basis.

Thank you, Seth Meyers, Stephen Colbert, Jimmy Kimmel, Bill Maher, John Oliver, Samantha Bee, Alec Baldwin, Kate McKinnon, and all the other generous entertainers who help us get through these frightening times. Keep doing what you do.
