We Owe A Lot To The Talking Head Industry

Because of the hard work of our News Media’s Talking Heads we do not have to think. They report to us every day about what is going on in the world. They analyze the happenings for us. They tell us what it all means. All we need do is sit on our couches and sip something sippable and let them feed our world to us. (I know “sippable” is not a word but don’t you think it fits into my Foolishness rather well?)

Did I mention they are smart? Actually that’s the best part. We do not have to think because they are so intelligent...Or are they?

Look at these five pictures of the country of Syria today and then the Smartfella will feed you closing comments after the pictures...

Now enter the Talking Head that did such a very good job of educating me yesterday. Here is what he said which conclusively demonstrates his extreme intelligence…

He said the Syrian conflict has been going on since March 11, 2011 and is showing signs of turning into a Civil War.

I guess up until now it has to be classified as an Argument. If it turns into a Civil War, it could become serious and then somebody might get hurt.

Now you understand why the Talking Head who “educated” me yesterday looked so concerned.

In order to drag this Posting on longer than is necessary, allow me to peck out this further bit of Foolishness...

This squabble in Syria has been called...

  • The Syrian Uprising
  • An Ongoing Armed Conflict
  • An Armed Rebellion
  • An Uprising Of Armed Terrorist Groups and Foreign Mercenaries
  • A Non-International Armed Conflict

I don’t know about you but I prefer any one of these descriptions because they don’t sound near as dangerous as a Civil War.

Would I kid u?
