The Gremlins are on the Wing

Remember that old Twilight Zone movie where the guy sees a gremlin on the wing of his airplane tearing out wires like crazy? And no one believes him? And then the plane crashes? I always wonder what happened to the Gremlin, I assume he went on to run for another term and the people who survived the plane crash voted for him again.

In this nightmarish sequel, there are two Gremlins on the plane. One is orange and the other an eerie white color.

Guys, this is bad. I know that. I’ve been busy trying to live my dream of becoming a children’s book author (Big & Little Meet in the Middle is still available) so I have been trying hard not to have a literal heart attack by reading and commenting on each breaking news story. Why I still think it’s still important to write children’s books is another, longer, and more thoughtful post, still to come.

I would like to say this though, today, since it should be said. Elon Musk, who threw a Nazi salute on the day of Trump’s inauguration, was not fired for that heinous act but was instead given free reign to rip up the plane wing, which is illegal. He is currently illegally rooting around under the hood of the United States Government and no one who can stop him wants to. Because they’ve always want to destroy the federal government and now they are.

I only have one positive way to spin this. A. People are pissed now, but they are about to become very, very pissed. B. Several world cities, after being bombed to smithereens with millions of casualties, were in fact able to rebuild with a smoother infrastructure than before. I know. Not altogether positive what with the millions of casualties. This was always the Steve Bannon school of ‘conservatism.’ “Burn it all down” and then rebuild.

I often think of the US or any government as a ship at sea. You are on a ship. The reason you are not drowning in the water (complete anarchic chaos) is because you are on the ship. It is inadvisable to blow up the ship while you are on it. Just as it is advisable that when you spot a Gremlin on the plane wing to say something to someone. Sadly. The people currently flying the plane are like, ‘yeah, we know. We put it there.”
