Next article? First, a leisurely stroll.
Some say 2016 is above morality, truly untouchable. Yet there is one thing that most parents, especially dads should not continence, that is his alleged presence in a miss-teen dressing room. So, what if the Democrats put out a half-minute political ad?
In complete silence, panning between two scenes:
girls, as reported, in various states of dressed, undressed, and then
2016, waving and pointing, and
girls, omg! Then more
waving and pointing. -Stop- Change of scene:
Two men, preferably recognizable, a comedian and a rap singer.
"Rap singers and comedians are held to a higher standard than a former President of the United States." Done, end of ad.
Of anything one might present as iconic of 2016, this is the worst: visceral for any dad worth his salt, and a dark, ugly stain in any mom's psyche.
And now a reality check:
This material comes from a chapter in a book I'm writing, with most of the notable quips verifiably well over a year old (using politics as an object lesson, with this being a watered-down version of that book chapter). Clearly this material works better now, as compared to a year from now, so I reconstructed the chapter, producing the eight articles you've begun. Then at the beginning of the year, a draft of this material was sent to over a half-dozen small-time publications, with all the expected "rights reserved." Nothing!
Quite recently, I've learned that those publishers and their associates can play fast and loose with material like this, as in, acting like they own it. In addition, all of my so-called insights are primarily derived from NPR, between 2015 and 2022, and do not include any written material. So now, concerning plagiarism, anything that is recently published is verifiably sourced from me. And back in the day, a similar development of ideas is purely coincidental. You may have noticed, I'm creatively connecting the dots of a broad tapestry. That is, all of this is highly intuitive for me, even the analytic portions. Requiring endless rewriting, an intimate dance within the subconscious mind. So regarding this subject matter, if I'm going to write in this manner, I find it necessary to stay at 30,000 ft; as I collect my material, develop insight, and then spill my guts. Not unlike how a poet might reflect on their process.
"Finally, can we get busy!?!"
Quoting a famed Denobulan, "Absolutely."
