Medium, well




The medium is the opiate of the masses ....                                 Karl McLuhan, May 5, 2018




     From The Copy Desk: Warren was playing his favorite new parlor game US Code Title 18 Bingo, where you randomly pick a section and try to recall how President Dump may have violated it - either as president or private citizen. We listen in as he rants ...... 



     "Title 18. Section 11. Subpart 227 ... (a) Whoever, being a covered government person, with the intent to influence, solely on the basis of partisan political affiliation, an employment decision or employment practice of any private entity," Warren read aloud.
     "What does that have to do with anything," Marty asked. "How did our clueless leader violate that one?"
     "Are you ready for some football," Warren sang, "And I don't mean real football, I mean American football."
    Warren is, of course, a football snob and insists on calling soccer, football and football, American football. But we digress, his point being that by interfering with the employment practices of the National Football League, elected officials could be violating the law. Marty seems unimpressed.
     "So I ask again, how does this relate to anything," Marty again asked.
   


     From The Copy Desk: We stumbled across this draft and decided it demonstrated something about our new reality here in The Virosphere ..... stay safe, be well.
