And Then There’s Maybe An Answer

Of TV and Turmoil
King Arthur was not real, but Bea Arthur sure was. Or maybe King Arthur was real but has been so romanticized that we cannot accept he was real. Bea Arthur starred in “Maude.”
There is a passage in the Bible–don’t bother looking it up it’s there–that says something about when kings become very tall and wear dresses they get their own TV shows and are immortalized in reruns. All of which leads us to our current world state, which has a deadly virus still bedeviling humanity, and riots and looting unhinged on America’s streets.
Now is not a time for kings or crusades but there is a greater need than ever for nice old ladies who had style and were full of droll, funny quips.
What we’re trying to say is America is bed-ridden. But the TV works. And the power is on. --TK
