... And Skewed Views
(Scroll down to "The Playlist" and hit play before reading... works better that way!)
According to Buffalo Springfield -"There's something happening here, what it is ain't exactly clear"!
Something certainly seems fishy! With everybody beating their chest and saying hooray for our side, it's getting harder and harder to decide what is true and what's just plain fiction. We've become numb to the political division... the rhetoric, half truths and hate. It just gets plain exhausting!
So, whatta ya say enough and let's just take a break, cook up something a little fun, have a cocktail and crank up some tunes. We're cooking up a skewer full of fish (sounds appropriate), an "I ain't lying this time" Margarita and some "Fake News" tunes to let some steam off.
Turn off the TV and put down that paper... The Pots Are On!
