The Great Wake 13: Like Crickets

The readers on the news are shoveling it, the scripts are full of bullshit.  Serve it up without shame, hold your nose at first, eventually you'll get used to it.  A bit gamey, but it does the job, it fills the brain, it tastes fine after a while.  Like crickets, like slugs, like bats--eat up.  Wipe your chin off with your t-shirt, napkins are in short supply.

Get in on the inside, the scenes are horrible, like an apocalypse movie.  The political readers can't even read, the PowerPoint decks are out of order.  Russia is invading Russia.  The words they read makes no sense, they are suppling chains for the big yanking.  They don't care about your grandchildren's grandchildren, they don't care about Ukrainian children or Urkainian women or Ukrainian men.

Sanctions, cackle, refugees, cackle, planes, cackle, hospital explosions, cackle, insider trading, cackle, icebergs, cackle, next slide, cackle.  Walk like an Egyptian, let my people go.  Roadtrip summer, America!  Hit the beaches, take RVs around the country, visit National Parks, visit State Parks, mountains, lakes, drive, drive, drive.  Oh, nevermind.
