Heads up: this post isn't about Lent; it's about fun with words.
As I frequently remind people, I begin each work day by reading the opinion sections of The New York Times and The Washington Post so that my friends, colleagues, and readers don't have to. This is a service I provide, which enables us to get together and mock the lefties while sparing those who don't have my coping skills exposure to the digital insane asylums being run by the Times and WaPo.
The opinion pages of the two major players in Democratic propaganda media have always been emotionally unstable hellscapes, but have — not surprisingly — ratcheted up quite a bit since the election last year.
The perpetually overwrought nature of the Dems means that garment-rending hyperbole is the standard for their "journalists" and op-ed writers. For example, the subject of my TDS VIP column this week (it will be published Friday morning) writes that we're living in "tumultuous" times and that "these are the most politically perilous days since the Civil War."
Settle down, Beavis. Half of the country is quite relaxed and in a great mood.
I thought we should have some fun with this. Given that you all are the most discerning and erudite readers around, it would be a blast if you would suggest some ridiculous hyperbolic descriptions for me to use in my columns. For now, we will try this for the next two weeks. Depending on how many I receive in the comments to this post, I'll pick five or ten for each week. On Monday, I'll post the list in the Morning Briefing. My challenge then is to work each of them into a column at some point during the week.
Of course, those interested in seeing if I accomplish this will have to read everything I write.
Keep it clean, dear readers. Despite my presence, this is still a family site.
Thank you in advance to all of those who participate, and let's enjoy this!
