Be Brave

The folks who run Disney have not seen their own flick “Brave.” They have probably never heard of the flick’s protagonist Merida who exemplifies independence, courage, and responsibility. It is crying shame.

Merida says in the flick, “I choose my own path, not the one set for me.”

Disney caved and ousted Jimmy Kimmel yesterday. My response will be not to watch ABC and their local affiliates. Just like I do not watch CBS and their local affiliate including Texans games on CBS. In case you have not heard, there are a kazillion viewing options these days.

 NBC, do you have our backs? I don’t know. Is say this because this morning “Today” led with the Kimmel news and showed the Donald Trump post in the featured photo that calls for NBC to fire Jimmy Fallon and Seth Myers. Liz Kreutz who reported the story on “Today” made no mention of Fallon and Myers. Maybe NBC News is trying to figure out a strategy to deal with this.

I would like to see the Democratic Party leadership in Washington call for a boycott of ABC and their affiliates. I am confident that this would get a good response from Democrats across the country. National TV networks and local affiliates need viewers. That is their bottom line. That is where we need to hurt them.

Don’t get rolled. Be Merida. Be Brave.

We won last night and swept the Rangers. We also enhanced our playoffs hopes and now lead the AL West by a half game. Nine games remain. We have today off. We need a day off.
