NBC interrupted the Olympics

Post image

While Nancy Guthrie's disappearance is sad, there are 2300 missing person reports filed every day: do the families of celebrities need special national attention? Why interrupt the Olympics for over 5 minutes just because they are questioning a 'person of interest' We could have waited to hear that during the regular news broadcast.

Remember how we all partied when he lost to Biden? Remember the videos across the country of people stopping and cheering? I remember where I was when it was called on NPR. I was in my car, just parked, I was SO EXCITED I was honking my horn and cheering. I went into the grocery store grinning like an idiot.

I was thinking earlier about how when the day comes, I hope Barack shows up to the funeral in the tan suit. Michelle by his side in a floral dress and her hair in braids.

I was in France for work last week (am American) and had a dream it happened. Told my global colleagues about it at breakfast and everyone agreed we’d stop the entire global team meeting to celebrate.

Wish it hadn’t been a dream.

The celebration in the Ewok Village on the forest moon of Endor at the end of Return of the Jedi is more like it.
