I Goofed on the So Help Me Todd post

 

April 22, 2024 

 

The So Help Me Todd episode I referenced in the post a couple of days ago gave the wrong episode number. It was Season 2, Episode 6, not Episode 5. 

 So, if you've already read the post, here's the correction. If you haven't read the post, I've updated it with the correct episode number.

 

 

In Defense of Courtroom Napping

 

April 22, 2024

 

Much has been made of the fact that Donald Trump appears to keep falling asleep in court.

 

While I imagine that, as a defendant, I’d be too tense to nod off, under any other circumstances I can completely understand dozing during the proceedings. Courtrooms are not the hotbed of excitement that they are portrayed to be on TV. In fact, if I ever had to explain why I should be excused from jury duty, I would point out that prolonged sitting while listening to someone drone on will inevitably put me to sleep.

 

And at least 10 pastors would back me up.

So Help Me Todd

 

April 20, 2024

 

When I did my TV review, I completely forgot to mention So Help Me Todd, which I had waited all through the winter to see again.

 

I still love that show, and Episode 6 was especially good. The final scene with Lawrence and the balloon was A+++.

 

But I just found out it’s being canceled!

 

WAAHHH!!!!

 

I Wasn't So Far Off the Mark

In “And I was Worried About Textbooks Getting Hacked” (March 11, 2022), I said that the way education in Missouri was going, at some point literature would be considered dangerous. A minute ago, I happened across that post and compared it to the post where a Missouri school board voted to remove Black literature electives from the curriculum. (“She May Want to Take a Class, January 3, 2024)

 

I guess that prediction wasn’t so far-fetched, after all.
