While watching the annual Twilight Zone marathon on TV

A commercial came on advertising a commemorative Chia Pet honoring the 45th president elect. The shrubbery is his hair. They were dead serious.

It's appropriate that it's on during The Twilight Zone. Rod Serling couldn't make this shit up. This country is now sci-fi.

There's a lot of episodes that would apply to what's going on on this country today. There was a moral to every story, unlike the garbage on TV that passes for entertainment today. The reality shows and Fox have dumbed down the masses, that's a fact.

I'm astonished that they let Obama win, especially in 2012, when things were somewhat on the mend.
