Politics are a Joke

HOLLYWOOD-God Bless America, and how’s everybody?

Disneyland reopened to local Southern California customers last weekend with a limit of three tickets per family. As for the park’s star characters, Disney caved in to feminist woke pressure and they agreed to remove a problemati­c kiss by the Handsome Prince. Snow White will remain dead.

Variety said record-low Oscars ratings call for a return to glamorous movies with great scripts and real stars, and not comic book movies and woke homilies. Today, no one cares about awards shows except the nominees. Next year’s Golden Globes will include itself in the In Memoriam section.

The Golden Globes got canceled by NBC for lack of diversity in the voting foreign press. Now Hollywood is reportedly pressuring Fox Network for not starring enough blacks or Hispanics in its prime time programs. To comply, Fox just offered to air America’s Most Wanted five times a week.

President Biden addressed high gas prices Wednesday, stating the Colonial Pipeline will soon be back up. Today’s similariti­es to the Carter Era in the ’70s are eerie. Fuel shortages, gas lines, higher prices, tensions with Iran and I suddenly just remembered my old coke dealer’s phone number.

USA Today reported that motorists in Virginia have been filling up plastic bags with gasoline in an effort to hoard auto fuel. Department of Energy officials have warned Americans not to fill up plastic bags with gas. If there is any such thing as gas bag experts, it’s the bureaucrat­s in Washington.

The California Senate voted to approve a bill already law in Oregon that legalizes possession of psychedeli­c drugs like LSD. There’s no point in taking it now. In the Sixties, people took LSD to make the world look weird and today the world is weird and people take Paxil to make it look normal.

Republican­s dumped Liz Cheney from House leadership on Wednesday. Liz’s moral objection to Trump is a neo-con cover story. Trump pulled U.S. troops out of the Middle East and ended the Cheney family dream of converting Iraq into three different countries—Regular, Premium and Diesel.

Ellen DeGeneres announced she’ll end her talk show next year when the contract expires with Warner Brothers. She’s been blasted by staffers for off-camera meanness and arrogance. Ellen
