A Failed Project
Ponderous, that head.
Last year sometime I decided I was going to try to do something with the old newspaper stuff I collect. This was a project that didn’t go anywhere. I still like the idea and may return to it someday but I’ll have to come up with some better skills. Yes, the writing is fun and the articles are fine but they need to pop off the page better.
Here is the first installment.
Oh, and some background to the “jokes”:
The king of entangling aliances and originator of the socialized state (to keep the prols from annoying the monarchy), Otto von Bismark was a hell of a guy. It is not surprising that Theodore Roosevelt would constantly state that he was a great influence.
Bob Barker is an owner of a vet clinic empire (no, probably not but would explain a great deal).
The last line is about TR’s cousin, FDR, trying to change the number of justices on the supreme court because they weren’t agree with him fast enough. Oh, and Irving Berlin was a hell of a composer.
And here you see one of the main problems with this idea. It was just a collection of bad jokes most of which required knowledge of things not needed for every day life. And then if you did take the time to figure it out, they still weren’t that funny.
Unfortunately it still makes me laugh thereby dooming me to only be able to create fringe art for people without standards of quality.
