The Tuck Stops Here

Looks like there are some chickens in the Fox house.  If you haven't heard that Fox reached a settlement for $787 million for reporting the "news" then you've probably been watching Fox News.  Upper management at Fox chickened out on fighting its legal battle against Dominion Voting Systems and decided to settle.  Guess the chickens finally came home to roast a Fox?  Or, the chickens will pay $787 million to not cross a defamation road?  That road being a dark and scary legal pathway that could have led towards the downfall of the entire company. (We would have voted to fight Fox, fight!)  Its shocking how much doing no wrong costs.  A rational person would have thought that Fox may have committed some serious journalistic errors.  Maybe, perhaps, they lied to millions of people.  Or, could it be, they faithfully continued to mislead viewers about the inaccuracy of voting machines?  We wonder, if Fox has been spewing random bull out of their mouths to pander to their viewership for years and it finally caught them by the tail?  We're not sure about those things but you rational humans may conclude from the amount of money Fox paid out that there was some overwhelming evidence against many of their hosts and/or executives.

Thanks to the American legal system they still get to claim they did no wrong.  Is there a difference between doing no wrong and doing the right thing?  (Yes) Is the $787 million is just to make sure everyone knows how much doing the right thing costs?  It's not.  Fox will stuff their head into their giant pile of money and never admit to doing anything wrong.  Then that problem will fade away with Fox's next news cycle on how guns killing children are the kids fault.  (Not a real news cycle, guess we're kind of like a fox)  That is the American way.  

Tucker Carlson was let go from Fox as his nightly duty hosting "Nightly $#!+ Show with This Mother Tucker" which aired some time on your CRT tv after your grandparents left the early bird special dinner.  We're not going to speculate that Mr. Carlson was the person that made many serious journalistic errors.  That this Tucker has been pandering lies to his viewers, and in general can be described as reporting worse things than an internet troll on a 5 hour Adderall bender.  We wont say those things because we don't see how anyone could possibly question mother Tucker Carlson's journalistic morals.  He sticks to the loosely based fact like stories.  He finds many incredible experts to extort little truths from large fictions.  Like many of the conspiracy theories he paraded on Fox he stays true to his motto "it might not be true but once I report it, it is." (Might not be his real motto but you can see him saying it.)

Did you do something wrong?  If you have money you didn't.  Hold on... Are we saying that money can make wrongs right?  No.  We're saying money can be used in place of a punishment plan.  Put those wrong doings on layaway.  Guess we haven't come far from Catholic Indulgences.  Hit someone with your car?  Give them money and you didn't.  Sexually assault someone in the office?  Give them money and you didn't.  They sign a nondisclosure agreement tied to the money and problem absolved.  Money can buy you freedom from your sins.  Whether you plan on lying to audience of millions or just punching your neighbor in the face because you told him to keep his dog from pooping in your yard, money can solve it.  The truth can set you free but if you don't want to tell the truth...  Venmo us @gopunme!  We'll believe you... for a fee.

We hb.C.U. Coach Prime

 

We see you Deion.  We see you as clear as a flickering neon sign from the end of the bar while sitting on a beer stained wobbly bar stool.  The 2023 NFL Draft was Prime Time on ESPN and Deion Sanders is blaming the NFL for not drafting more HBCU athletes.  "I do not understand how NFL teams can seriously not take the less talented players from very small colleges that have limited top level competition?"  Deion was not quoted as saying.  We are confused as well.  Confused at how Colonel Sanders can do the exact same thing they do as he scolds them.  

The current talent of college football players are heavily lined up in the division 1 universities.  More specifically the big boys are in the South Eastern Conference.  So, sorry to say, most of the best athletes don't go to HBCU's.  The one HBCU player that did get drafted in 2023, Isaiah Bolden, played for Sanders team at Jackson State.  He only went Jackson State because Sanders lured him away from a big division 1 school (FSU).  If Deion wanted to change and grow the HBCU talent pool he could have.  He did for a limited time.  But putting in 3 years at a University usually doesn't even get you a degree in communications.  He has the name recognition and could garner even more talent from the notable big universities that currently intercept most of the high school talent.  Instead, he moved on from an HBCU and went to a bigger school. (Colorado University) (not an HBCU).  We don't throw around the Hypocritical oath lightly, but saying how great HBCU's are and then bailing on one after only 3 years seems like an example someone could use to help define the word hypocrite.  Before Colonel Sanders starts to fry up some criticism for the NFL teams he might want to check what he's cooking up in his own kitchen.  We think we smell something burning.  

Fart of the Deal

The belief in equaling out a trade deficit is admirable if you have no idea what a trade deficit is.  Let's take a life example.  Say yo...
