I’m trying to decide which is the most inane nooze story I’ve covered this week. I’ve got it down to just two leading candidates. Pick one!

First we have a member of the Boston City Council suggesting that suburban residents “open their homes” to illegal aliens, now called “Migrants”. It seems the sanctuary city is running out of sanctuary; so you folks out there—“the wealthy,” as she calls you—ought to find it in your hearts to provide it.

These people, who waltz across our border, thousands per day, illegally, need a place to stay. The government doesn’t even try to vet them. Gang members, terrorists, drug pushers, sex offenders, people with highly contagious diseases… the government doesn’t care, just let ‘em in. Someday we can turn them into Democrat voters! Just bring ‘em into your home with your twelve-year-old daughter; she’ll think their tattoos are really cool. What could possibly go wrong?

Now it practically goes without saying that this council member is not going to open her home. No-no-no! She wants to share your home with them. And, she says, you’ll be “setting them up for success.” Surely that’s worth a little tiny itsy-bitsy risk!

Our second news item takes us to the United Kingdom, where they’re fixing to arrest people for wearing masks, especially to, um, “political protests”. Wait a minute, though. Two years ago they ended their “mask mandate,” which required people to wear masks. Almost 4,000 people were arrested and fined for not wearing masks. Would you believe it? Holy cow, masks can be used to conceal your identity! Like, when you commit a crime.

Confusing, isn’t it? First it’s against the law not to wear a mask. Now it’ll be against the law to wear one. If they keep the old law, they’ll have you coming and going.

Dishonorable Mention: Faced with seven out of their last eight movies bombing at the box office, Disney Corp hired a “crisis management expert” to advise them, promptly decided to ignore the advice because it wasn’t what they wanted to hear, and announced plans to take one of their most successful film series, “Pirates of the Caribbean,” and replace the star, Johnny Depp, with some black woman to play a gorgeous sexy pirate captain. Now is that Woke or what?

Well, heck, they’ve got to check off all those boxes, don’t they? Actually, the gorgeous sexy female pirate captain has for decades been a standard cliché of unbearably schlocky romance writing. It’s not a new idea at all. Yeahbut, yeahbut! You’re gonna say “No!” to a gorgeous sexy female pirate captain who’s black? Tell us another one! Not in Disneyland you’re not. Could they also work it out so she’s a “Migrant”? That’d give them more Woke points.Yeah, they’ll be lined up around the block to see that one.

Everything is getting so flaming stupid! Is Disney trying to go bankrupt? Does anybody want MS13 gangsters holed up in their living rooms? And how do you decide, anymore, whether to wear a mask or not? Maybe only on even-numbered days? What the devil is happening to our civilization?

Maybe it’s the devil himself that’s happening. That would explain it.
