I can't help but laugh this close to the election. A very rare turn on of the TV and CNBC this morning. Not sure why. Of course I turn it on from a discussion about how inflation is now the only solution to government debt now that inflation seems to have come down and begun to stabilize and the best way to do this is by tarriffs not by taxing the wealthy where Kernan goes into GOP angry shouting out everyone into silence with a both sides rant mode talking about lower taxes, less government, and degulation of the 80s is the responsible for all the growth and prosperity of the last 40 years. The next segment is about Starbucks that quickly devolves into an E Coli outbreak at McDonald's.
I used to be disgusted. Now I'm just amused.

Kernan is losing it more than usual. I take that as a good sign.

It was the first time I turned them on in I don't know how many weeks, so I have no idea how it's been but him getting angry and controlling the the morning by shouting had been becoming more common place.

I don't take it as a good sign. This seems to be a more and more acceptable trend from the visible right and it's becoming normalized. The left will follow. I don't need a world of unfunny unthinking Lewis Blacks that think they are sage and funny.

He's auditioning for Kudlow 2.0 and so when shit gets under his skin, you know it's getting under Trump's skin.

I agree that our standard of discourse is on a rapid decline but that is bigger than Trump or Kernan.
