Smelling Like A Rose Or Not


John Kerry Climate Czar, former Secretary of State, former Senator from Massachusetts, former Congressman from Massachusetts, who was in Viet Nam by the way, was decrying the state of Climate Change and the fact that the adults of the world were just not listening!  He was on a TV show bemoaning the use of coal in specifics but also the whole climate change thing, to a group of other Climate Change Aficionados, who listened with great empathy to his exhortations.  Then he farted.

Now we are not saying that this was the ultimate statement on Climate Change but if we stop to think about for a minute, maybe it was.

And love springs eternal!  Amy Robach and T.J. Holmes are still together and still in love.  If you remember the big scandal last year.  It was these two co-hosts on ABC's Good Morning America fell in love.  They met on that show and it should have been a great story but they were still married to their respective spouses and ABC fired them.  This in an industry that has had many many members of its profession accused of and fired for sexual harassment and even pedophilia.  In fact the co-hosts of Morning Joe did the same thing and while the Joe of Morning Joe was not married the Mika of Morning Joe, was.

Now we wondered at the time if their firing had anything to do with Amy Robach being a white woman and  T.J. Holmes being a black man.  Joe and Mika of Morning Joe, are both white.  But then the people who scream and cry about these things didn't raise a peep, so who were we to make such a suggestion.

But as we said love springs eternal and Amy and T.J. have resurfaced where all fired TV hosts resurrect, on their very own Podcast.  Maybe those lines from the old Bette Midler hit song 'The Rose' are appropriate here.

'Just remember in the winterFar beneath the bitter snowsLies the seed that with the sun's loveIn the spring becomes the rose'*

And across the pond in Venice a group of tourists were told repeatedly to sit down, they were rocking the boat.  But they were busy taking selfies while in a Gondola and like a lot of today's youths, they could not stop stop taking selfies.  The Gondola in turn capsized and all the selfie takers went into the Canal.  Luckily all the selfie takers were saved but sad to say all their phones were ruined and the selfies lost for all time.  And, we're not sure what gets dumped into those Canals in Venice but we're pretty sure that the fished out selfie takers, didn't come up smelling like roses.
