Here at TPV reality is a social construct, and this is what reality has constructed lately.
On Friday, Trump and Billary were exchanging barbs knowing that the Nobel Prize committee may consider their tweets the grounds for their future awards.
On Saturday, Anthony Weiner was engaging in mixed media sexting with the same expectation that either the Nobel or the Pulitzer would be his in the not too far away future.
On Sunday, the Nobel Prize committee was supposed to take the day off but then changed its mind and came up with a compromise: Bob Dylan for literature.
“What literature?” asked the ghost of Steinbeck.
“The literature of the singing folk,” replied the committee, and Steinbeck went back speechless.
On Monday, the New York Times won the Pulitzer prize for inconsequential reporting. It printed every insult Trump, the Orange Creature, ever uttered. Amazingly, the people didn’t care. Crooked Billary remained neck in neck with the Donald.
On Tuesday, the F.B.I.’s Director, Mr. Comey took the Nixon prize for remembering that if it keept quiet, our next Billary might still face indictment as the 100th-day-in-office achievement.
On Wednesday, in a nod that the Americans still oppose a two-way transparency where both the government and the governed know what the other does, the incumbent President said referring the the F.B.I. dare to tell the governed that Billary used their private computer to do business and other computers, such as Huma’s and Anthony Weiner’s computer:
“The American government doesn’t operate on incomplete information,” Mr. Obama said in an interview with NowThis News. “We don’t operate on leaks. WikiLeaks is not the NSA, NSA is our ear, while WikiLeaks is everybody’s. What the FBI has done is break with our democratically established post-Nixon pattern: NSA keeps tabs of crooks and useful crooks are left alone at all costs, if the NSA so decides.”
