Saved by the St George’s bells ringing from the chapel of Windsor Castle, all of the American politicians and paid for puppets of both Putin and the NRA had a break from lying about actually caring for the lives lost by the students and faculty from the high school in Santa Fe Texas. Thoughts and prayers can be a tiresome, tedious time taker, when almost every other week the words are spoken replacing any actual action to stop the murder of innocents by guns, even when the once Good Guy with a gun turns bad. The Evangelicals had a bit of a respite from pretending that Jesus knows best and Jesus would never condone mass shooting, unless it truly was the unholy who died, or least the Devil himself who purchased the gun and shot the deadly bullet. But many an Evangelical did have other thoughts and prayers to share on Saturday, May 19, because of all unimaginable circumstances to happen, in the land from which many believed their ancestry originated; Prince Harry had the audacity to wed a multi-racial woman, and any good Evangelical who had to put up with Obama knows that even if one parent is white, the child is black. And on top of all that some black dude named Bishop Michael Curry was called upon to participate in the Royal Wedding Service. Extra protection was provided to keep the nasty white woman from calling the police worried that too many black folk were congregating at Windsor Castle.
No red banners waved wildly on cable TV on Saturday, only joyous gossip of dresses and suits, hats and jewelry were spoken of…the only tragedy were the women who once again, became objects of disdain, and did n to wear the most fashionable of formal ware. The families of the kids and faculty who died in Texas due to a self proclaimed lover of “good Nazi” values had to fend for themselves. Glitz and glamour always trump guts, gore and the greed of politicians who receive blood money to let innocents die.
But we are back to the day after the day after, and it is time once again for Talking Heads to explode on TV, shaking their bubble like heads sideways trying to figure out the motives, the meaning, the why’s and how’s this happened. From the truly stupid we are offered explanations, of less doors in school buildings, promise more attention to mental illness, insistence that each school should have a SWAT Team assigned, and of course more thoughts and prayers, because a belief in God is like a cup of chicken soup, no matter how bad the death of the innocent. Saved by the beauty and majesty of a wedding, the thoughts and prayers were on hold, and the Royal wedding gave cover to those in this nation who never want to face the truth, instead rewrite fact into fiction.
