My Personal Cynicism Level Trending Higher

First, allow me to offer a free interview tip.

When trying to land that perfect police job, try not to confess to any serious crimes. Always keep in mind that you have the right to remain silent.

Man confesses to date rape during police job interview, lands in jail instead

A West Virginia man mistakenly confessed to a date rape while interviewing for a probation officer job in South Charleston and is now facing sexual assault charges.

They say that we can become more cynical as we age. Now we know why. A younger, more naive version of me, might have expected this man to help pay for my Social Security. The older, wiser version of me, realizes that I may need to help pay for his incarceration.

P.S. Don't even get me started on Trumpcare.

I can relate. I've suffered so many narrative collapses that my personal cynicism is at levels thought previously impossible.

Deal. It's "Ryancare"!

Ryancare Musical Tribute

(Tammi Terrell died of brain cancer at age 24.)

And Marvin Gaye was murdered by his father. At least that's what "they" would have us believe. Some of us know better - the Russians did it!

mab,

I was not aware that he was murdered by his father, nor was I aware that his father was diagnosed with a brain tumor.

That said, the musical tribute is so upbeat. Makes me very optimistic about the future of healthcare in this country. In fact, I haven't been this optimistic about healthcare since I visited the emergency room the day after Thanksgiving one year and had my gallbladder yanked out.

P.S. I hope the Russians love their children too.
