What The Duck

About a year ago I came up with an idea for yet another animated show for adults. As you may have surmised it would be called "What The Duck". It is about a duck named What that works at a cable news network called MSNFX. Obviously it is a show that that pokes fun at channels such as MSNBC and FOX news and the pandering to their particular audience with all disregard to the truth. I can't remember all the characters I had at the time but the line up will contain Whats counterpart Matt Cow. One of Whats catch phrases will be in regards to Matt Cows editorials, "and thus starts the spread of another epidemic of Matt Cow disease". Covering the arts will be a cat named Claudette Pussy (get it? Claude Debussy). The food critic will be either a deer named William F Buckley or Will B Grazin the meat loving deer who was raised by nut job vegetarians, and possibly a moose called Chuck Rhett Moose. I had sports, business, and weather characters but have since forgotten them. Should have written this down at the time.

All that being said, have you noticed how nauseating Fox and MSNBC are? Even if you agree with what either of them are saying their arrogant attitudes detract from their messages. Think about it, Fox has/had Beck, O'reily, Hannity, while MSN had their mirror images Oberman, Mathews, and Maddow. They are exactly the same. It is the Harpo Marx mirror without a mirror act. Another thing they have in common is never responding to my emails. What the Duck!?!

Perfect Timing

It was just after eight on Saturday morning when I was spinning in circles in the refrigerated aisle at Albertsons searching for the unfindable. There was no one anywhere to ask for assistance. Extremely aggravated my mood changed in an instance. I heard the opening sustained note of a very familiar song. What I'm sure appeared to be a stupid/psychotic smile spread across my face. Then the opening words chimed in, "There is a town in north Ontario". The smile got even more maniacal when the refrain of "Helpless Helpless Helpless" rolled around. It summed up the moment and the last few months.

It is funny how realizing you are helpless can be such a joyous occasion.
