When It's TOO MUCH

Over the past week, I've watched a lot of interviews with Americans explaining things to journalists, and the chatter is concerning.  It ought to worry people.

'On the edge' is used a lot.  'Risk' is used a good bit.  One lady used the phrase 'defeated'.  'Things are deranged' was another phrase put out there.

Way too many people sitting at home, instead of work or at their favorite hobby.  Way too many people focused on the news networks or Twitter.  Way too many people worrying about the unknown.

In some ways, this is becoming like an episode of Marvel, with evil people fighting good people on a daily basis.  In one version, Nancy Pelosi is like Captain America.....and in another version, she's 'Red Skull' (the most evil of bad guys).  I don't have a problem with a Marvel movie consuming my interest three or four times a year.  But if you said I have to watch a major Marvel release each single day, well....it's going to be a problem sooner or later.

I sat and watched a piece where the CNN journalist tried to hype-up President Trump.  Finally, Trump says to the guy....."You don't have the brains that you were born with."

Trump-enthusiasts will likely agree  that somewhere along the path....this poor CNN guy lost his 'brains'.  Some southerners would even go and say a prayer for the guy....hoping that he finds his 'brains'. 

The anti-Trump enthusiasts will get all peeved....how dare Trump insult the poor CNN guy.   Then they will want to sit by you at the pub or bar and talk about this insult and frustration they feel presently.  You being the bold person that you are.....suggest that maybe they are getting a bit too much of TV news and maybe you ought to flip over to Bonanza reruns, or watch pro-wrestling repeats from the Randy Savage years. 

I read this morning....off the NY Times, that your condition of your testicles (meaning men only, not you fake women-to-men) may be impacted by the Coronavirus.  Both me and the male-cat in the house got hyped up real-quick over that health discussion.  Again, it's 'worry-chatter'.  I can speak for the cat....that last trip to the vet where the balls thing was discussed, it didn't help his disposition 

At any moment now, I expect some expert to appear on US TV, and hype that some miracle solution has been found, and that if I could just eat four plates a day of broccoli.....I'd be spared the virus. 

Yeah, it's all gotten to a point of being 'TOO MUCH'.
