Whatever Happened To...


Whatever happened to Greta Thunberg?  We haven't heard from her in awhile.  You must remember her.  She was the poster child for Global Warming, which is now called Climate Change.  She famously exclaimed with a twisted, angry face, "How dare you!" to the adults of this world because they were all ruining the planet.  But lately...  Where is she?  Was her sail boat lost at sea, as she made her way around the world to warn the human race?  Or did she simply outgrow her role as the angry, petulant child, in the same manner as a whole boat load and think Titanic size boat here, of child actors, who disappeared as puberty took hold?  

Will we ever hear from here again?  Will she emerge ten years from now with a book about the long, arduous journey of her young life.  You know the story by now.  How she was an innocent child mouthing words she really didn't understand?  And, there was heartbreak too on this journey.  She didn't get the role of Wednesday in the new Adams Family movies.  And she wanted it so bad.  Then, there was abuse both physical and sexual.  And of course there was the whole downward spiral into alcohol and drugs.  You know those tell all books.  And, we have the title for her too.  'How Dare You!'.

And whatever happened to Chris Wallace?  And, it wasn't so long ago.  At one point he was the face of Fox News, their lead guy.  Then he signed a megadeal with CNN to the tune of  8 or 10 million a year to be the lead guy on their new Streaming service.  But CNN got sold and the guy who hired Chris got dumped and nobody signed on to the CNN Streaming service and it got dumped.  So then Chris got a show 'Talking To Chris Wallace' which if you have nothing to do on your weekends, you might have seen.  But not a whole lot of other people have.  In fact, reruns of Seinfeld draw a larger audience than 'Talking To Chris Wallace'.  It seems some people still want to talk to Chris Wallace but not too many want to watch.  Maybe old newscasters never die, they just fade away.

And what happened to those guys who used to call everyday to tell you your car warranty had expired.  Mine was still in full force and I would tell them that.  But now, well my car warranty has expired.  And, they never call.
