Boring!

I’m a news junkie, so one would assume I’d be paying a lot of attention to the unending stream of “Breaking News” stories with which we are inundated 24/7.  But that’s not what’s happening.  Instead I find that much of what is Breaking is Boring.

Especially the political stuff.  What I’m being fed is an unending stream of predictable, partisan tripe.  Boring!  Like most people, where I stand on the political issues of the day are pretty much already set in stone.  So nothing that is being said is going to change my mind.  But that doesn’t stop the politicians.  Their views, too, are set in stone, so nothing they say is new.  Not new, and Boring!

I’m sure that when the impeachment trial in the Senate begins I’ll be watching.  But won’t this be just another example of predictable arguments being put forth ad nauseam, for days, weeks?  Boring!

There is one Breaking item about which I haven’t decided.  Who do I support to run against Trump?  More and more I’m becoming a Never Trumper.  If I had any degree of complacency on this score, the British election made it clear that beating him will not be easy.  The prospect of a Trump victory is truly alarming.  So this I’m paying attention to.

But better to watch a movie or read a book or take a nap than to subject yourself to all the garbage that is being thrown at us.  Boring!
