“One must have a heart of stone to read the death of Little Nell without laughing,” Oscar Wilde is supposed to have said about Charles Dickens’s overwrought melodrama, The Old Curiosity Shop. VodkaPundit readers will be pleased to learn that Yours Truly is more warmhearted than ever, laughing my patootie off at the long-delayed justice finally coming to CNN.
By now you must be well aware — and perhaps chortling as hard as I am — of what’s happened recently as 60 Minutes, where new CBS News chief Bari Weiss and her henchman, Igor, are in the middle (one hopes) of a much-needed shakeup.
Sorry, kidding about the Igor thing. It’s just that I spend so much time following the mainstream media, where Weiss is either Dr. Frankenstein or Dracula or some other monstrous villain, and her hand-picked executive producer for 60 Minutes, Nick Bilton, must be Igor or Renfield.
Far more comedy than tragedy, and long overdue.
Surely someone in MSM wants to generate an actual profit?
It would be entertaining to graph the change in financial fortunes experienced by the various networks as they show the woke morons the door, beginning with the $40 million saved by firing Colbert.
Don’t forget … profit … is a triggering word for all these high $6-figure compensated talking heads and producers.
When I lived in Regina, I had a male tenant living in my basement apartment for over 10 years. He gave notice to leave on July 30, 2025. He had quit his job in early June and spent the rest of his time smoking dope and playing video games. I went away on vacation to Newfoundland and when I returned he was still “faffing about”. July 30 came and went and I allowed him to stay over the long weekend, but asked that he be gone by noon on August 5. He still spent the weekend smoking dope and playing video games. August 5 arrived and in the rain, he had to take things to the dump and load his U-Haul. He asked to stay until the Friday and I informed him that I would deduct $ 200 from his security deposit for the extra week. At that point he called me ” F**king Capitalist B*tch”. I told him that he definitely had to leave. He did so at 9:30 that night, complaining about where would he sleep. I replied that he could pull over to the side of the road and sleep in his car.
I wear his label of me with pride.
Pendant* alert: Victor (in the first movie) Frankensteins’ assistant was Fritz, not Igor……
I MUCH preferred Frederick “Frankensteens” assistant Inga…..
*Pedant, pendant is an in joke…..
And then there’s Igor, the Yorkshire Vampire.
And of course Frankenstein was also assisted by F. Scott FitzGerald’s cousin, E Gore FitzGerald.
