"Trying to have a conversation with you would be like arguing with a dining room table.".

Thus spake the inimitable Democratic Representative Barney Frank to a reporter who asked a question ALMOST as ignorant as the ones now lobbed at Democrats on a daily basis.

Personally, I would rather engage any piece of furniture in conversation if the alternative was the likes of that smarmy anal sphincter- that Fox continues to send off to the White House press room no matter how many times he comes back with his ass in a sling.

It would be refreshing---no, ASTOUNDING---if those who aspire to be journalists would one day realize that broadcasting or publishing remarks which, for example, repeat the big lie or recommend the latest ivermectin cocktail LEND CREDENCE (look it up, trumptrolls!) to both the lies and those who spew them.

Given the depth of the ignorance accumulating in nearly any forum of public discourse, we may end not with a bang or a whimper. but with a bewildered "Doh!"
