Mr. Cope?
Yes, Twinky. I see you’re back.
Sorry, but something came up and I felt like I needed to talk to you about it.
By all means. That’s what I’m here for… to be pestered to distraction by any young snot with the constant need to talk to me about something. What is it this time?
So do you watch any Fox News at all?
Nope. None at all. Call me fussy, but I find it too disturbing to actually watch people who are so comfortable with combining their astonishing stupidity with a total lack of integrity.
Well, there’s this one show on there, The Five, where these five people sit around and talk about the news. And there’s this lady on it who said, just this week, that young women shouldn’t even vote because they don’t have enough life experience to vote intelligently.
Really. And this dunce’s name?
Kimberly Guilfoyle. She also said that as people get older and learn more, they get more conservative. That going from liberal to conservative is a natural process like getting age spots or glaucoma.
Did she actually say that about the age spots and glaucoma?
No. I said that about what she said.
Well said, Junior. Go on.
Anyway, the whole thing made me think of you, Mr. Cope. Have you been getting more conservative as you get older?
Pshew, that’s a toughie. You see, most of what people think of when it comes to “liberal” and “conservative” is meaningless. Just empty brain dribble. The thing is, when any one issue or event or question comes up… something that calls for a reaction or an answer such as a vote for or against, an opinion for or against, maybe just a gut feeling for or against… a truly thoughtful person doesn’t start the process of formulating that reaction from either a liberal position or a conservative position. No, that’d be like trying to get outside to the open air by locking yourself into either a Red Room or a Blue Room. See what I mean?
Not at all, Mr. Cope. Not at all. All I wanted to know is if you feel like you’re getting more conservative in your old age like that Fox person says people do.
Ah, Scooter. She could say something that stupid only…
Yes, Twinky. I see you’re back.
