Dummies On TV

Actor Bob Saget died yesterday at the age of 65. I am not familiar with him as I never saw his TV sit-com, Full House, which ran from September 1987 to May 1995. Since my son was born that November I was busy being pregnant, and then occupied with being a new mom working part-time for several years after. Judging from all the accolades being heaped on Saget, he was a great guy, very loved by his friends, family and fellow actors. How nice.

But then Fox News anchor/blond bimbo Ainsley Earhardt, while reporting the story, said the following, and I paraphrase: "Since we will all die someday, it's important to be kind to everyone -- the waiter, the parking lot valet, strangers you meet in stores -- because when you die you want all the people who knew you to say nice things about you."

Really? I thought you were supposed to be kind for the benefit of the other guy, not yourself. Ainsley's  statement contrasts greatly with what Jesus Christ said on the same topic: "When you give to the needy, do not sound a trumpet before you, as the hypocrites do, to be honored by men. When you give to the poor, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing." (Matthew, Chapter 6)

Next up, CDC Director Rochelle Walensky said in a live interview,"We all know that children aren't supposed to die." Huh? I never knew that. I donate frequently to St. Jude's Hospital for Children and Shriner's Hospital for Children, so it's clear that plenty of kids get quite sick, and lots of them do die. In fact, globally 15,000 children die every day. 

Walinsky said that when asked about the veracity of the claim by Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor that "100,000 kids are currently in serious trouble in hospitals" and "on ventilators" due to Covid. Turns out that roughly 5,000 kids have been sickened with the virus thus far, which earned Sonia a slap on the wrist from the Washington Post this morning.

It's best to do your own research and don't believe everything you hear on TV. And send a check to St. Jude's today, because if you ask me, kids aren't supposed to be sick.
