The television, a portal into the chit-chat of the global village, in the Americas, Asia, Europe, Africa and the various island countries of our beautiful planet, blared out a ridiculous story this morning:
Some anonymous Al Qaeda person has issued a death or terrorist threat against a silly court jester of today's global village, Monsieur David Letterman, who dances on the late night digital beams issuing from the Ed Sullivan stage and tries to bring smiles and laughs to our exhausted and troubled souls: Cut out the tongue of Monsieur Letterman, why? because he has spoken ill of the special prophet of Islam, Mohammed, supposedly??
Now, I do not know what it is that Monsieur Letterman supposedly said, no one mentioned it on the CBS Channel 402 HD news. I do not know which Al Qaeda person issued the supposed blood-curdling call to arms, to cut out the tongue of the contemporary funny man, the court jester of our global world, Monsieur Letterman.
This I do know: if we are not worms, mice or mere blood-thirsty revengeful hominids,
why would someone shout out or whisper a threat regarding a digital funny man, a silly fellow that merely tries to make folks around the world, who watch his Late Night irreverent show, laugh. He pokes fun at himself and all his friends, family, his family pet, and his supposed enemies as well:is that so terrible to devout Islamists of the 21st century?
This I suppose: worms and mice don't really care what Dave said.
His amused fans are merely laughing at the foibles, odd actions and comments of Dave and those who Dave skewers during his late night variety show which I happen to enjoy immensely. (Of course, I am also a Kurt Vonnegut fan and a Hoosier now residing in Southern California, Dave's target audience, I presume).
And some confused and dim-witted humans or possibly mere hominids are making strange terrorist threats at their televisions, because they believe in an ancient religion that is stuck in the Middle Ages, that requires their prophet's dignity be upheld, from the cutting, mocking court jesters who are trying to take the pain out of current miseries of short money and difficulty finding and/or keeping jobs, adequate shelter, sufficient food and to shore up the hope and determination to keep up the brave fight of dealing with the "slings and arrows" of contemporary life.
Do "true blue" followers of prophet Mohammed really think they need to issue evil threats against the tongue and person of a digital funny man named Monsieur David Letterman? Really?
What is the purpose of such a religion or any religion for that matter? Do worms and mice pray? Do they need to go to services or memorize holy books to learn to get along with other worms and mice and inhabitants of their niches?
My heart and head and soul are troubled by such news tidbits regarding terrorist threats: what say you?
Seriously: what do the other intelligent, modern humans say about such a news tidbit regarding Monsieur David Letterman and this alleged terrorist threat on his person, his tongue in particular?
