Good content deserves mention
Bearing mention for outstanding dialogue in a TV series: The Newsroom. If you haven’t had a chance to watch (and listen), then it’s time to leave the comfort zone on your cable (babel) set box. Climb the numbers, until HBO looms into sight.
And since we do not live on the calorie-enriched brain food provided by fiction, balance your diet with some political commentary. Same network, so it should ease the search. Stop when Bill Maher is front and center. I haven’t figured out when the new episode actually airs, but it gets replay several times through the week. Cover your ears, if words not allowed on TV (reference Carlin) shock you as you watch TV. Times have changed.
Now, back to your regular programming. How about that Game Of Thrones theme music? Oh, also on HBO. My clicker may be stuck. Not that I watch the series; I want to read the books, first. A purist. Ditto for that Potter series.
This is a holiday weekend, locally. I’ve been home, all day, catching up on the sleep I missed last evening watching live concert feeds on TV. And next weekend is also fitted with a holiday. How cool is that? Every year, a double-header. Two takes on nationalism, with me profiting from both varieties.
The purse strings are loosened; Calgary needs a major cleanup. But I want to know why the chief mischief maker from Ottawa was on scene wearing army clothes. Can’t tell if there were actual insignia (that would be illegal), which means that his staff have been raiding the war surplus locker in the bunker downstairs. All for a photo op.
