What Were They Thinking?

On the first day of the Hamas Israeli War, there was some footage of a Hamas Guy flying in a motorized paraglider.  Assuming it was an actual Hamas Guy and not just some footage of someone on vacation in Arizona, (The Mass Hysteria has been known to do things like that.) it would have constituted the Hamas Air Force.  The Israelis then brought out their F16's, F35's and their Apache Helicopters, a real Air Force and began to bomb the Hamas Guys back into the stone age.  Which begs the question about the Hamas Guys.  What Were They Thinking?  Obviously not too much and pretty soon, maybe nothing at all.

And, President Old Brains Biden went to Israel to show support.  When asked about the bombing of the Gaza Hospital that seems to have been the result of a misguided Hamas missile, Old Brains Biden said.  "It's that old thing.  Gotta learn to shoot straight."  Now not to take things out of context, we watched the whole response and we can see Old Brains was trying to say that he didn't think the Hamas Guys fired at the Hospital on purpose.  But like a lot of stuff he says, it came out sideways but still, you've got to wonder. What Was He Thinking?  Obviously, not too well.

And Cher, the 80 year old singer who used to be married to a guy named Sonny, in case you don't remember, said in an interview that if Donald Trump gets elected in 2024 she'll.  "Leave the country!"  Thus adding her name to a long list of celebrities who have threatened to leave the country over one thing or another.  A list that includes: Bryan Cranston, Lena Dunham, Miley Cyrus, Whoopi Goldberg, George Lopez, Cher herself back in 2016, Chelsea Handler, Amy Schumer, Jon Stewart, Barbara Streisand, Chol Sevigny?  and Omari Hardwick?  Just to name a few.  And we put question marks after the names of people we never heard of but since the internet says they're celebrities, who are we to argue?  Of course none of these people ever, actually, leave the country, so it begs the question.  When they said this nonsense.  What Were They Thinking?

Did they think that the country seeing they were leaving would immediately reverse whatever the great transgression was that sent them into exile, rather than to try to exist without them?  Or the country would just collapse without their presence, thus rendering the great transgression null and void.  Or maybe it's just the like the little girl, when she's really, really angry and she says.  "I'm not talking to you ever, ever again!"  Or is it just some other thing we can't see?  You know it might be nice if the next time some celebrity mouths this missive, that someone in the vicinity of it ask.  "What's up with that?"  Or "What's that supposed to do?"

And, we used the picture at the top of this column of a guy in a motorized paraglider while on vacation, it looks like Arizona, just to give you an image to work with.  He's not a Hamas Guy invading Israel.  This admission is called, truth in Journalism.
