Hell – what we have now the thing called “news” is nearly as surreal as it gets. Only, the people doing the “news” as business don’t realize they’re actually in a Daliean shitstorm fugue flying over Sao Paolo at the speed of Alberto Gonzalez’s sphincter. The news needs to be made more insane, or its relevance will recede into the Dan Rathersphere. UncleBob, make it so.

Its glory? Now that has me flummoxed. No glory yet. And I don’t think anyone has called it glorious, either.

So what are you trying to say?

What I was trying to say is, aw, never mind. Have fun satirizin’.

Okay; Uncle! I give.

Just what the heck ARE you trying to say?

AssignmentZero has me completely flummoxed as to why we (or anyone) would find such a thing either mildly pertinent or even vaguely valid. (maybe if it had more cartoons…yeah! that could do it! and gardening tips!)

It IS kinda cool though that so many bucks could be drummed up for something so, oh… how SHALL I put this…. pointless. Or maybe that’s the part that bothers me the most.

And as to WHY exactly those seemingly rational organizations would give you that kinda money for such a lark…. ay, now THERE’S the real puzzler. I don’t know if that should trouble or amuse me. Heck, maybe even both.

I dunno. I just don’t “get” the “Assignment Zero” thing a bit. (I do suffer from SFB though so perhaps that’s why I can’t “tune-in”) to its glory.

And yes, I did go clicky to alla those nifty little “here, here and heres” that was spoda ‘splain it to me.

What I’d REALLY like to read though is the “pitch” that got this funded in the first place. Now there’s something we could all no doubt learn a thing or two from!

I’m just saying…….

Perhaps that says a lot. Especially considering that the ‘crash’n’burn’rodeo-doodah-fest” that resulted in sudden and virulent carpet-bombing, totally destroying their former playground (the one where alla those darned ‘mean kids’ were known to hang out), occurred only days ago.

“Milennial dada”? Oh heck yeah – to be sure. (And big kudos for that deliciously apt modifier, by the way)

There’s an old Spanish proverb that says, “If I die, I forgive you. But if I live… well, we shall then have to see…”

and so… we’ll wait and see I guess.

Cheers.
