A few weeks ago, I wrote a little bit of prose that ended up being published in the San Francisco Chronicle's Letter to the Editor. It was about the Town Idiot de Jour, Donald Trump. The problem, the big problem, is that it seems that he is more than "de jour". The news media has made him a darling, simply because he sells. Like they say in TV news, "If it bleeds, it leads." We can't believe the crap he spouts, but we watch, and they sell their Tylenol and Viagra, their cleaning products and cars. Their rates stay high, as do their profits.
Yes, it is easy to be cynical, but, Jeez, what is this all about? Are we as a nation really no better than this?
Also, please vote. Think, then vote.
