[Silly]

Oh, I dare, baby, I dare. I’d like to meet another Freeper who has been physically closer to Rosie (now that’s a scary thought) than I.

So tell me, I’m begging you, is my post brilliant, or is it brilliant? On a scale from one to ten, one being brilliant, ten bring Einstein Squared, where do I stand?

I ask this in all humility.

7.5, and I grade hard....

Silly, this is indeed brilliant.

My grading scale is slightly different. I look at it like this, would I expect to see this in a paper. 1 is the lowest grade, and 10 is the highest. Some examples:

1 - Typical college liberal editorial
2 - Typical Duluth News Tribune editorial
3 - Typical New York Times, Los Angeles Times, Minneapolis Red Star Tribune editorial
4 - Newsweek, Time editorial
6 - Slate editorial (liberal, but in all fairness well written)
7 - A GOOD WorldNetDaily.com editorial
8 - Wall Street Journal editorial
9 - National Review editorial
10 - Commentary, Human Events editorial, Conservative think tank stuff

Bearing all of this in mind, I would give you a 7.0 (and yes, I am fussy). I think this is worthy of publication.

Some real gems that struck me.


Barnum and Bailey, and many other circuses, fascinated the dullest, most gullible minds of their day, playing them for suckers, by dragging out every imaginable freak they could find and promising entertainment for a nickel. People shows up in droves to see these freaks. Anyone too tall, too short, too ugly, too strange to make it in the real world using real talent to serve the public was preyed upon, placed in cages behind curtains, and exploited for the amusement of the mindless.

Let me tell you, this woman was scary. Ugly doesn't say it. Angry-ugly is a better word. Her ugliness, as Trump astutely observed, came from within and infected her exterior. It made me sad and heartbroken to see this ruined shell of a human being. It didn't surprise me, but it did take me aback. All of her self-hate was pouring out of her eyes. This woman hates herself and her hatred for the world is just an outflow.

And let's be clear: Barbara Walters was merely her zookeeper. She herself is a washed out entertainer, a has-been, who once had credibility as a journalist, but now has none.

Insightful and thought provoking. Great stuff!

Here are some of the parts that I thought went over the top.

But as soon as you start popping your pustules and squirting them on customers, you no longer have value as entertainment, and no amount of sympathy of will bring them back. You are now a worthless freak: No inherent value, and no entertainment value either. Just a nuisance.

Rosie, in fact, is Jo-Jo The Dog Faced Boy. She was always been Jo-Jo The Dog-Faced Boy. She has been nothing more than a freak which TV execs exploited to line their own pockets.

I think if you were to cut these two lines out all together (and a couple of other little things), you could raise the rank one full point to Wall Street Journal quality.

LOL! It's an excellent post and observation. :)
