Mondays with Mike: Theater of the absurd

February 3, 2020 • Posted in Mike Knezovich, Mondays with Mike, politics by

On this, the day after the Super Bowl, an annual circus in itself.

A Super Bowl won by a team that plays in Missouri, a victory for which the American president congratulated the people of Kansas (not mentioning Missouri at all).

On the day of closing arguments during an impeachment trial of said president.

On the day of the Iowa Caucuses, an absurd way to start a primary season.

At a time in history people make 3D models of themselves.

And when people pay for alcohol-free booze.

On this day, all I got is George Carlin. Man do I miss him. But his wisdom is eternal:

“When you are born in this world, you are given a ticket to the Freak Show, and when you are born in America, you have a front row seat.”

Try to have a good week.

Thanks to FB I was up to speed on all absurds but the 3D models people make of themselves. Thanks to you, Mike, I now know that too! Wow! Because selfies are not enough, because ‘love yourself’ has been taken a bit too far. Time for pop-corn and coke…the show is on!

As a child I wanted to join the circus…now we all live in it!

Circus, true. And thank goodness we can laugh at ourselves. But I gotta say, there’s nowhere I’d rather be. I kind of liked the Budweiser “typical American” commercial,

The laughing is important!
