Thought for you for tomorrow.

As I get ready to go to sleep, I look at today's, no, not just today's but the present news cycle. What has disappeared from the hair on fire reports is that awful situation of all those children at the border. Last month it seemed the USA would be swallowed up by alien children, eating all our stuff, using all our schools, bringing diseases to us...taking over. Horrors!

Where are they today? I'm sure there are still children at the border trying to escape horrid situations, who should have been given refugee status and maybe they were, but there is not a report out there about this. This story couldn't have evaporated any more quickly than George Clooney disappearing into space in the movie Gravity.

I mean while DU is blabbing about the news cycle du jour, maybe some follow up on the stories that were making everyone crazy a moon cycle ago should be revisited and the stories we are peeing in our pants today given a harder look.

Good night everyone and sleep well. Tomorrow we will have another bunch of shit to try to make sense of.

I have observed this cycle as well.

Shiny objects do distract us, I think. And folks do want to be in on the topic du jour.

Goodnight!

Great observations.

Yes, there are still children at the border. Yes, they should be granted refugee status. We all benefit from immigrants, imo.

... I'm getting ready to hit the hay too. What you said about the immigrant kids at the southern border... isn't that the truth? Guess that isn't a problem anymore, with all the ISIL paropaganda to get out and get those poll numbers up for a war, 'doncha know. Nitey-night.
