Has the world gone mad?
Listen, there’s no way anyone is going to goad me into blogging about Afghanistan. Even if I had the intellectual acumen to tackle that subject, I don’t possess even the DRAM of knowledge needed about Afghanistan politics to be proselytizing about it. And if I lack the confidence to discuss a topic intelligently and fluently, I keep my mouth shut. I promise I’m watching the news and learning as much as I can. It took me two whole days just to research the similarities between the fall of Afghanistan and the fall of Saigon.
So until the time that I have either educated myself fully or been appointed to a chair on the Committee on Foreign Relations, please consult your smart Uncle Stan, Grandpa Joe, your AP History teacher, or Quora about Afghanistan. And please don’t email me questions about it. I mean, you can if you want, as long as you don’t mind being ignored.
I send news blurbs twice a week through my marketing team to a national publicity summit, in order to garner radio and television interviews. Sometimes my stuff hits, sometimes it doesn’t. The subjects are different every week, and the last blurb of mine that went viral was my likening the reunion between Ben Affleck and JLo to homemade macaroni and cheese.
Deep stuff.
What do you mean, you don’t see the analogy there? Isn’t it blatant?
This week the subjects were Afghanistan women, masks in schools, and family vacations gone bad. And while I assure you I have a very distinct opinion about the fate of Afghanistan women in the wake of the resurgence of the Taliban, that is all it is for now. Opinion. So I opted out of that one, until I can research further so as to write clearly about it.
And family vacations gone bad? Hell yeah, I can write a book on that one.
As far as how masks and this new Delta variant affects schools and students, I need to be careful, as a teacher. I exist in the classroom to provide my students with fair, unbiased and safe instruction. That’s where it ends. So I will leave it to the brilliant Onion to give you the laughs in this slideshow titled, “Things Every Teacher Returning This Fall is Dreading.” I will embed below, but please note this is a slideshow for people with a sense of humor. If you are a Debbie Downer (wah wah), go back and brood in your darkened closet while the rest of us yuk it up and remember that life is too important to take TOO seriously.
