Feeble Fables And Fictional Fantasy



____________________


It was an exceedingly poor day for those who depend on the TV cable news shows for their daily entertainment.Those long and boring shows are filled with fantastic scenes featuring the pope and his henchmen (his accomplices) who perpetuate the stupid and silly superstitious nonsense that is the Catholic Church.

It was an extremely poor day for actual news watching. One finds oneself relegated to the little channels, the second rate carriers of bad originals and surprisingly interesting reruns.

I watched some of these oldies:

Judge Judy


The People's Court
with Judge Marilyn Milian
Originally Judge Wapner


and  various other such... like:

Justice For All
with Judge Mablean.
