Television loves you
Andy Rooney gave his final “essay” on 60 Minutes last week at the age of 92, saying he wasn’t retiring because he’ll still write. Andy, that’s Quite Nice. Don’t forget to write! [He was always the best part of the show.--Eds.]
Sesame Street will feature a new character named Lily, who is described as a pink-faced member of a family dealing with “food insecurity.” Sesame Street, Go Take a Nap! It’s not food insecurity. It’s poverty and hunger. And puppets don’t eat. [And Bert and Ernie don't make love to each other.--Eds.]
And Hank Williams, Jr. ruined for himself one of the best-paying and easiest gigs in all of show business by saying something stupid about the president and Hitler and it’s all rather mundane, but then Hank tweeted that ESPN violated his First Amendment right to free speech. Hank, Go Take a Nap! You of all people, a Constitutional scholar, should understand that the restrictions on power in the Bill of Rights apply to government, not corporations, so ESPN can censor your ass all they want. [And how.--Eds.]
