Just how low have I sunk post election? I can't sleep sometimes so I watch total crap.
I can’t watch the news or cable news programs or even read the paper. I have a sense of doom
and gnawing sense that the election was dirtier than hell.
And so even the worst crap on cable TV, Hallmark Xmas shows doesn’t get my mind off a sense
of impending doom for America and our democracy so I went as low as I could go on trying to
not think about about the salt water working its way north up the Mississippi because of the rising
sea level of the Gulf of Mexico because of the melting polar and glacial ice caps and those unrepentant
shits who invaded our nation’s Capitol who are going to be released from prison and treated as heroes
so I watched the entire Netflix show on the Dallas Cowboys’ Cheerleaders. May a merciful God forgive me.
Did you know that Jesus had a special plan for them to be a member of the D.C.C.?

…and Topper.
The characters are so decent 
A few years ago I got a Christmas card with a drawing of a woman leaning out her front door, on a snowy day, yelling, "Timmy, that's not where the carrot goes on the snowman!"
I'm in such a funk. I can hardly believe we're just going to hand our democracy over to people who've told us they want to destroy it. Apparently the rules say you can't do anything undemocratic to save democracy. WTF? 
I still post positive & funny stuff on social media though, cuz I'm not gonna let the bastards see me down. Your pic of the cheerleaders brings back memories of my go-go boots. I reached the pinnacle of coolness in fifth grade with my go-go boots & peace-sign mini-skirt. 
In my college years, not to toot my own horn, I had a girlfriend like that for a short time. I was older and more mature than most of my classmates, after my stint in the Navy, so that may have had something to do with it. She wasn't DCC by any means but the same type. Caliber you might say. Funny though, the boring and inane was absolutely mind numbing. Stereotypical, yes, but in this case it fit. It didn't last. Afterwards, my mom asked what happened to so and so. Told her talking to so and so was like conversing with a fence post. She said, "I figured as much." Mom knew me as well as anyone ever has. 
The only one to meet that is my wife. 
No, I didn't think so, and that might remind you of the old adage about " birds of a feather flocking together".
That said, it seems sexist and unfair to lay all the scorn on the women of the Dallas Cowboy franchise. The entire enterprise is a 'show', of sorts, and they're just presenting themselves in a way the average male wants to see them. 
The same mentality that gave us Donny 2. 
Personally, I have limited my media intake but that's about it. If my wife caught me watching something like a crazed DCC program, she'd kick my ass. I luckily have "guard rails."
I look at this like dealing with a bunch of petulant children. They stupidly signed up for this. Like any parent who gives them some rope, I'm patiently waiting for the boo hoo's when things inevitably go sideways for them. I've been there before. We won't have to wait long.
His first cabinet did include people with some competence and talent. Mathis as Sec Def. Tillerson as Sec. State. Some unqualified shitheads granted, but some who might actually do the jobs competently.
The new bunch? Shitheads top to bottom. And you know what happens when incompetent people run things. It goes sideways in a hell of a hurry. Dems and R's with sense will be on damage control and lets hope it's limited. My biggest fear.
The one thing that does give me hope in all this is we've got a populace so full of seething anger at what the monied classes have done to them that they turn a CEO shooter into a folk hero. So, when Donny royally fucks up, and he will quickly, they will turn on the mother fucker like rabid dogs. Remember, you heard it here first. 
I would rather watch just about anything else!
