‘I Talk to the Rocks’

Hollywood air-heads like to make fun of people who believe in God–and then they go out and satirize themselves.

Lena Dunham, star of some TV show that nobody watches, stood up in front of this year’s Democrat Convention and called Hillary Clinton the defender of women who have suffered sexual harassment–one of the two or three biggest whoppers ever told in public in the Western Hemisphere. Her fellow libs, thousands of them, stood up and cheered.

You wonder if even they could have believed that.

Well, we hear Lena is all bummed out that the former captain of the Bimbo Eruption Squad and chief executive of the Clinton crime family didn’t win last week’s election. So, naturally, this humble woman of the people betakes herself to the posh resort at Sedona, Arizona… where she talks to the rocks ( http://heatst.com/politics/lena-durham-spirit-quest/ ).

In a message to her fans (who are they?), Ms. Dunham informs them that she “whispered some words for you into the big red rock.”

Uh, do the rocks talk back? Well, apparently Lena thinks they do. In the same message, she said she was “asking the Canyon for some guidance.” I wonder what kind of guidance the rocks gave her. Certainly better guidance than she was trying to give the public.

Yes–we, the Christians, we’re the ones who believe in silly things.

Really smart people go out to Sedona and talk to rocks.

Lying Ain’t What It Used to Be

I just sat down to work when the phone rang. I picked it up, and what do I hear? “This is the call-back you requested [lie] after viewing our commercial [lie: I have no television] for our Acme Supercalifragilistic Back Brace…”

I protest the shameful decline in the art of lying. The time-honored whole flaming point of a lie was to be believed. I mean, what is the point of a lie that no one, not even an imbecile, would believe? How was an unbelievable, stupid lie ever going to get you out of trouble? They know doggone well that I never requested any call from them. Do they think I don’t know I never asked them to call me?

But this is the year when some liar, with absolutely no sane expectation of being believed, could address a whole convention hall full of people, plus TV cameras reaching out to millions of viewers, and call Hillary Clinton, former captain of her hubby’s Bimbo Eruption Squad, the champion and defender of women who have suffered sexual harassment. That would be damn near every woman who’s had any dealings with Mr. Clinton.

In the Bible, the midwives lied to Pharaoh to save Israelite babies from being killed. It worked because Pharaoh believed them. But nowadays they would have told him, “Global Warming is causing Israelites to have babies: just slap on some higher taxes, and that’ll do the trick.” Then again, maybe Pharaoh had already heard that 97% of Egyptian magicians and astrologers believe in Global Warming, so it must be true. After all, our astrologers and magicians believe in it.

You could go blind, trying to count the hopeless, lame, preposterous lies that are handed out today.

You’d think any liar who had so little talent for it… might as well tell the truth.
