Now that January 20th has arrived I should order another new remote control for my decade old TV.
I burned the MUTE button out of the first one a year ago and will likely do the same for the current one as well since my ‘preferred mutee’ is in charge of the nation starting today.
That first poor remote control never had a chance. By midyear of his first term it was going through batteries like crazy. This past year of political theater has been a challenge for the newer one also.
Might as well prepare myself for the inevitable—either pulling the plug on the TV or going back to Netflix. I’m already reading five big books a month before he even starts. Don’t want to burn out my eyes by next Christmas.
So for those of you who prefer solitude and silence to pompous, bloviating obfuscation, the MUTE button (or the OFF switch) is your friend.
We should start a new online group—‘the MUTERS.’
