BRAVING THE BODEGA

If you really want to get in the spirit of American politics, I encourage you very strongly to visit your parents, with the assumption they are in their late 60s or 70s and the enjoy watching Fox News during six o’clock dinner, it’s an exhilarating experience. It happened to me today, and I was able to get in 20 minutes of a Fox News show called THE FIVE. The Five is a roundtable talk show that includes Greg Gutfield, Jeanie who you just heard, Dana Perino and Jesse Walters, and a sprinkling of guests, wherein they do Fox News fever dream hot takes on the current news, which today included a conversation about Defunding NPR for some reason, Death to America Chants in Michigan which got everyone really fired up and obviously my friend from Westchester, who seemingly looks like she runs the front room of a Trattoria in Richmond Hill Staten Island, but she is weighing in on politics and all things culture wars. I am not here to bash anyone in the media, maybe I am but again, the platform of Fox today gave me a chuckle, it showed me for the first time that at the end of the day, we might as well just fucking laugh.
