The Friday Link for 2/2/24

Hi all! Tonight it's all political on the Friday Link, starting with what might be the smartest mind in political analysis today, Kat Abu!

Katherine Abughazaleh, or as she goes by on social media Kat Abu, is wonderful! Here is a link to the full bio piece Huffington Post did on her last year (https://www.huffpost.com/entry/kat-abu-the-tiktoker-mocking-fox-news-just-for-funsies_n_644c0f85e4b04997b577b4c2).  Basically this poor woman subjects herself to watching Fox News and breaks down the network's stupidity, so you don't have to watch it.  How she manages that without going crazy remains to be seen.

But what makes Kat exceptional is how she takes a complicated issue, breaks it down into almost Hemingway-esque minimalism, and conveys it to the average social media viewer in a completeness that puts a long New York Times article to shame. 

Case in point, she tackles the lie that "shoplifting is destroying the retail sector."  It's not, and not only does she expose that truth, but then expertly links it back to how this lie is just greedy executives trying to cover their company's disappointing earnings. AND SHE DID IT IN 2:18!!!  I'm 55 years old and have 30 years of radio under me and I only wish I could be so clean with a topic.

Follow her on TikTok, YouTube, Twitter and other assorted social media sites.  You will be smarter! 

Also tonight another delightful visit with The Daily Show's Desi Lyric, as she also subjects herself to WAY too much Fox News, this time to figure out what the real story is on Taylor Swift! 

And finally tonight, ME!  This is from the show where I explained how I finally was able to come to grips with the reality:  A shockingly large portion of this country (25-30%) are just horrible people, Donald Trump managed to do the unthinkable when he molded them into a viable voting block, and how we need to cut them loose and fight to save the country with the much larger sane majority!  Heavy lifting is required!

Join me down the rabbit hole!

That's all! Have a great weekend everyone.  

Stay safe and make sure you are vaccinated!
