The Great Divide

All politics aside......

Just kidding.

So the AG is going to look into who/when/why/if/how someone was working for the FBI while on the Trump campaign.

Those are the right at excited and predict the feces is about to hit the rotating air moving machine.

Those are the left and think we are having a constitutional crises.

At this point the libs on the left at CNN/MSNBC and those on the right at FOX have too much invested in their story that they can't afford to back down and consider that maybe someone on the Trump campaign actually did do something illegal or that maybe there never was any collusion and the whole thing was a set-up.

For 18 months we've heard the same stories and narratives night after night. Miss a night? No worries, the same show will be on tomorrow spouting the same thing. As little bits of crumbs are dropped it is like finding one piece to a 10,000 piece jigsaw puzzle. Both sides pick it up and spin it around a few times and claim it fits nicely into their puzzle even though their puzzles are like matter and anti-matter.

At any rate, the trajectory in this country sure does seem like we are headed to some sort of breaking point with the left and right becoming further and further apart and less willing to compromise or try to see the 'other side'.


And now for something completely different...

One of my coworkers used to be a nurse. We got to swapping hospital stories and I told her this old riddle: A man and his son were in an automobile accident. The man died in the accident and his son was taken to the hospital for an emergency operation. In the operating room, the doctor looked at the boy and said, "I can't operate on this boy, he is my son."

How can this be?

I heard this riddle on "All In the Family" back in the early '70s. I thought this was one of the most well-known 'riddles' of all time. To my surprise, my co-worker, who used to be nurse for Pete's sake, did not get the riddle!
