Gratitude -- too often
overlooked. Due to time or self-ishness or what have you, we really do
not give thanks the way we should.
One
thing we should all be thankful is the way Brian Stelter elected to go
out on his CNN program on Sunday. Throwing a huge hissy fit, he called
out his bosses on air. Now most of the time, we'd look the other way
and hope a parent will show up and handle the unruly brat. But we loved
watching Brian Stelter throw his tantrum.
Want to know why?
You
saw it, we saw it, future employers saw it which makes it all the more
difficult for Stelter to end up on the air again -- at least on any
credible outlet. Would you hire him and put him on air knowing now that
the way he plans to go out is to embarrass the company he had worked
for and to trash the bosses?
Then
there's Texas Governor Greg Abbott. There are two words he will not
say -- no, not "love" and "freedom." He probably won't say those either
but we're talking about two words he does known the meaning of but runs
from: "Climate change."
We
don't think Texans will put up with that kind of ignorance as they see,
in the coming years, more and more damage from climate change. So we
are grateful that Greg Abbott is willing to play the fool publicly in
full view of everyone so that they can grasp just how uninformed and
ignorant someone like that is. And, hopefully, they'll grasp that the
last thing that we need is people like that -- fools like that -- in
office.
