My Fragility Index (1-to-10)

 1 (worst fragility point) Just watching a cartoon of a bear (Yogi)....causes you to shake. Having Wal-Mart reshuffle the candy area sets you off with a panic attack.  Noticing the toilet paper is rigged 'over' (not under) at the hotel....sends you into a rage.

2 You wrapped up three 1930s  cowboys movies off AMC, and feel disturbed of the evil Indian depictions...writing up a sixteen page letter that the movies must be altered, or removed.  

3 Your best friend of sixteen years....sent you a very vulgar joke, and you've cancelled them as a best friend.  

4 You show up at your local grocery to discover the favorite brand of ice cream was not in stock, and spend 25 minutes lecturing 'Larry-the-clerk' on this dilemma in your life.

5 (moderately fragile) You watched two episodes of Mister Ed this AM, and feel Ed is not a responsible or mature horse.  You want to discuss this with your wife/GF, but they seem to have bigger worries to discuss.  

6 The weather gal for Channel Nine gave another crappy weather report.  All you said or did....was say a short 12-second prayer that she might improve.  

7 Your dog has dragged over 17 newspapers from neighbor this morning, and you spent 3 minutes lecturing him ('bad dog, bad dog'), and then gave him a dogbone while you tossed the newspapers into a garbage bin.

8 You watched Bridge Over River Kwai for the 40th time in your life, and still wept at the end.

9 You have the seat on the airplane that you paid extra for, but some woman asks if her kid can sit by the window....he's never been on a plane before, and so you give up the extra-cost seat....with no argument, just a smile.

10 Your wife burnt the steak completely, and you simply carved the edge of the burnt area off, and almost wept that she tried so hard to make it right.  Your dog peed on the kitchen floor, and you spent 30 minutes petting him....to let him know it's not a big deal.

My Feelings Over CNN

 I sat and watched clips of CNN trying to lightly cover Trump's indictment.  Right away, they let you know that they didn't want to cover any of his speech chatter, because he was prone to lying.  Then they laid into so much 'enormous' guilt, and the angles to the guilt.  Then they sat and lectured folks on how it was all such a pitiful situation.

I came to five observations:

1.  This Jake Tapper guy is awful fragile, and I'm concerned over his mental health.  In his mind, he just carries a lot of problems, and this Trump stuff seems to bother him.  So I'm wondering....is there a treatment program out in the remote parts of Idaho....where he could spend a month and just get over the Trump-thing?

2.  I think it's probably right that Chris Licht left as 'boss' of CNN.  This allowed them to go back and focus on their one-and-only purpose in life....the anti-Trump network. 

3.  You almost get the impression that this is a demonic-spell situation, and you need one of the Pope's guys over at CNN.  I've seen clips of that Russell Crowe-guy exercising some demon-possessed guy....you'd need someone like that, except for a whole network.

4.  If you try to rationalize the CNN position....you can't allow lying politicians to talk....it'd pretty much cease all political chatter from both the Republicans and Democrats, plus the PhD intellectuals talking over economics, and even drag in half the CNN hired folks for a lecture on lying.  I'm not sure they could survive a week of no-lying by everyone.

5.  Finally, when you finally had enough of the CNN-chatter on Trump and lying....you just realize the reason why you quit watching themselves....was all the BS like this.  It's childish stuff you expect from 12-year-old kids.  

Just shaking my head.
