If It Ain’t Broke

My very limited research seems to suggest there has always been a trans gender community, mostly way underground. However, in these recent times the subject has become a political issue, a football, if you will, with a wing in socialized medicine, so there lies the rub. This observational blogger has noted the only industry that seems to be using that issue to make a buck is the porn industry, who has always been able to do so since the VCR was new. Anyone really interested has only to view the many porn site pictures of, and of the exploitation of the ‘mixed gender’.

In The Real World

If you are a male journalists that frequently appears on television, when your hair starts to turn gray with age, does that mean an end to your TV appearances? Not necessarily so? However, on the other hand applying the current rules of TV marketing, if you are a female journalist that frequently appears on TV and your hair starts to turn gray with age, that will be a certainty in the making and marketing of the end of your TV appearances, plus career without a doubt.

To What End?

CNN…”Chinese leader Xi Jinping has called on his top national security officials to think about “worst case” scenarios and prepare for “stormy seas,” as the ruling Communist Party hardens efforts to counter any perceived internal and external threats”. That can only mean the end before it begins no more free thinking outside the communist box.

Yesterday, Today & Tomorrow

I just watched again, the 2017 film directed by Rob Reiner, ‘Shock and Awe’, that had me shaking in my boots. Who’s claimed to fame comes with a dire warning, if we don’t take serious journalism as gospel, then there is no hope for democracy and truth telling in America, or anywhere else in the free world for that matter.

On Television

This Sunday on NBC’s ‘Meet The Press’, featured five ‘disguised women’, this observation blogger took note, none of these women dared to display one hair of gray, taken a little step further, none of the women that appeared during the commercial breaks dared any gray heir either. I have to pay attention to the age ranges of these women was between thirty-six and seventy-nine, confirming, once again, women’s hair just does not gray, on television at the very least. As for the women appearing in commercials, who knows?

What is the worse name one can call a woman, a gray-haired old bag.

Whatever Happened To A La Carte TV

Saturday afternoon I heard a recording on the radio, I was reminded it was not that long ago, if I wanted a copy, I would have to purchase a whole album of not so likeable recordings just for that one liked recording. Anyone whom is a subscriber of one of the television cables, are paying for stations not ever watched, simply because what one liked was only available as part of a bundle.

 “Cordcutters are people who don’t subscribe (literally) to the traditional forms of TV. One of the biggest reasons for “cutting the cord” (ie. canceling your cable subscription) is the bloated channel lineups and inflated costs. Many people look at a long list of channels and see a lot of stuff they’ll never watch (but have to pay for). That’s where the dream of à la carte TV started, and for a while, it looked like it might actually happen. Not anymore.” Joe Fedewa 2020

In This Ever-Changing World

I had a brother that was left-handed, my parents tried to break him, knowing he would have to live in a right-handed world.

Growing up in the 1950’s and the 1960’s, there was always boys who would rather jump rope with the girls, and girls who would rather play baseball with the boys, as far as I can remember nobody even tried to change how those kids played, they grew-up with their likes and dislikes intact. Today, not so much, there would be, there is, a vigorous movement to change their childhood behavior, damaging them forever, right up to, including their adulthood.

Too Much Artificialism

This morning while watching Fox News Business Channel, which I tend to do from time to time in order to hold a more balance view of the business world, I noticed something quite odd. I saw four streaking blond dye headed female business pundits, including the program host. I have heard it said, blond hair is supposed to be very rare, except when it is displayed on the heads of women on television, now a days, that wonderment, seems to be all most too much.
