No matter what your political
persuasion I’m sure you will see the Common Sense (Remember Common Sense?) and Logic (Remember Logic?)...Or am I sure?
Brace yourself, Here is a Silly
“News” Article Headline...
”Ivanka Trump’s Oscar De La Renta
Inauguration Look Sparks Calls For Boycott”
If you just said to yourself, “That’s
Silly”, I am proud to see that you are a reader of my Foolishness.
If you just said to yourself, “I
agree. I’m not going to buy one of Oscar’s dresses either", you disappoint me.
What does one thing have to
do with the other? Oscar does not go into his garage and sew together political positions.
He stitches pieces of cloth into dresses for people to wear. If a person who
you agree with buys an Oscar Dress, do you say, “That’s a beautiful dress”
but if that same dress is bought by a person you do not agree with, do you say,
“That’s an ugly rag”. If That happens, something is wrong here and there
isn't a problem with Oscar’s Sewing Machine.

I feel I have not made my point
clear enough yet, let me try again. Here is more from the Silly “News”
Article...
“Fashion fans are planning to boycott Oscar
de la Renta after the designers
dressed Ivanka Trump for
an inaugural dinner before her father’s swearing-in ceremony on Monday (January 20).
On Instagram, the brand boasted
about dressing Donald Trump’s daughter in “a custom
off-shoulder crystal and pearl floral-embroidered empire waist gown with silver
stole,” prompting many followers to express their sudden distaste.
Next to the carousel of photos
featuring Ivanka, 43, commenters declared they were “done” with Oscar de la
Renta.”
Let me give it a go and try to
make up some Foolishness...
Peter Fernerk is a basketball
player who has scored exactly 50 points in every game he has played in for his
entire 10-year career. My favorite team has lost all 27 games they have played
this season by exactly 2 points. I just heard my favorite team’s General
Manager is about to finalize a trade for Peter Fernerk. I go into a fit of
outrage at this news. I announce that I am against this championship
guaranteeing trade! I open my mouth and prove that I am a Silly Person. My mouth
says, “I saw on ESPN that this Fernerk Guy drives a Line Green Chevrolet pickup
truck. The only thing a hate more than Chevrolet Pickup Trucks is anything
colored Lime Green!
What does one thing have to do
with the other?
************
Because of my violent opposition
to this trade, the trade was called off. That very night my favorite team loses
by exactly 2 points and the real Silly Point is I am surprised that my favorite
team lost by exactly 2 points.
Often we forget where the word “Fan”
comes from. It is from the word “Fanatic”. Fanatics hang around with the likes
of Out Of Control, Wild And Crazy and, you guessed it, Silly People.
Would I kid u?
