A lot of people are already talking about leaving.
These are the same people which will be first to say, "leave it better than how you found it."
These are the same people which borrow your truck, and bring it back with a full tank.
These are the same people that speak to the fact that family roots should run deep. How can you be rooted when you want to flee?
I'm an Oregonian, and I love this state. I'm a husband, father and business owner, and my roots are here.
I'm also that person that returns your truck with the full tank of gas, leaves the campsite clean, picks up random trash and I run my business with this mentality because it is the right one.
Fleeing is leaving this beautiful state in ruin and admitting defeat.
Courage is rolling up your sleeves and redoubling your efforts.
Leno harks back to a time in America—the 1990s and first decade of the 21st century—that seems like a distant memory. Like Johnny Carson, the late-night host who preceded him, Leno’s humor was based on the premise that Americans are all willing to laugh at political foibles regardless of their, or the politicians’, party allegiance.
Back when late-night comedy was enjoyable :
. . ."With Leno’s retirement, late-night TV became a leftist wasteland. Even if he wasn’t the numbers leader, Jon Stewart set the tone for what was to come: Make a nasty remark about a Republican and then wait for the trained seals in the audience to bark out their cued laughter. Stewart eschewed wit or charm. This was “comedy” for the initiated.
"Stewart’s show gave rise to three other mean-spirited leftists: John Oliver, Samantha Bee, and Stephen Colbert, all of whom knew that their jobs required an unending stream of venom directed at Republicans and, especially, at Donald Trump. Indeed, the nastiness on cable TV shows infected the networks. By 2016, Jimmy Fallon was forced to apologize for daring to have then-presidential candidate Donald Trump on his show and actually treating him with friendliness and respect.
"I wish Jay Leno a swift, uneventful recovery. I also wish he were back on TV when late-night comics brought America together in shared laughter over the foolishness and foibles of the American political scene."
Now here is quality political humor, involving Reagan, Chinese President HU, Secretary of the interior James Watt, Yasser Arafat.
So far above anything Colbert, Letterman, Kimmel or any other nameless ones are capable of. TD
