If I Wrote This Post....Which I'm Not Saying That I Did....I Would Never Read It

            A few of the talk radio hosts are united in putting forth the argument that they want to see the...."science"....of the effectiveness of a mask on the virus. Yes....any information on the effectiveness of masks would be helpful....but common sense tells us that masks have to at least be somewhat effective.....for we are not as astronauts on a space walk....where the smallest pin prick means certain death. So tests....yes....but what is being demanded? Common sense says that if a person were to jump off of a four story building they would probably die....but where is the...."science"....of it? Maybe we would need an experiment with two hundred people on top of that building.....we would observe and calculate as one hundred of them jump off the building....but the other hundred....the control group....(I would volunteer for the control group)....does not jump off. We might then find that ninety-eight of those in the experimental group...died....while none of the control group died....those that did not jump off the four story building. There is our science....as we can now scientifically state that if one goes to the top of a four story building.....but does not jump off....they will in all likelihood....not die from blunt force trauma....but if one does jump off....there is a 98% chance that they may die!

            While speaking of science....and research....and academic pursuits...it may not be probable.....but it is indeed possible.....that Donald Trump has never read a book cover-to-cover in his whole life. His ghostwriter for The Art Of The Deal....after hanging around Donald for eighteen months to write the book....essentially made that statement. The President has been in the habit for quite some time of tweeting about a great new book that is out that we all should read.....the latest being Sean Hannity's new book....but I know that he has never....nor will ever....actually read these "great" news books....he just recommends them for people who read. I can't even imagine Donald Trump sitting down in an easy chair....with a Diet Coke....and just reading a book. If they tried to stage a photo op on this....the President might ask things like...."OK....what do I do now....turn these pages....will they stay open....do I look at the page as I would look at a contract....does the book have to be right-side-up....do my eyes have to be open....I don't actually have to read any words do I....and if I do could the book at least be that wacky nut job's....In Trump We Trust?" 

            The only mention that I remember of him having a book next to him was from Ivana Trump.....who said that Donald had a book of the German Fuhrer's speeches in the bedroom. This obviously has been investigated. A friend did give Donald a copy of said fuhrer's book of speeches....My New Order. Donald Trump was questioned on this during the 2016 campaign....and here was his response....in very typical Donald Trump fashion....."If I had these speeches, and I'm not saying that I do, I would never read them."

            I know that I have written in the past that Donald Trump is never....ever....to be believed without verification.....but in this case.....I believe him.....not because of the content matter of the book....but because I can't see him actually reading any book at all.

Note: This is going quickly over to my humor page....even though there is little calming humor here.
