Then, striding toward the camera with his arms raised over his head, he suddenly jerks them down with a flourish. "America, you are in the hands of a black spot at the center of your circle; the very Social Orbital Beam of your circle! Do you see it now? A black S O B is running America!
Ms T sitting in her wooden rocker in a corner cracks a rare smile but no one notices. While the others are dumbstruck with newly minted knowledge, she toys with a meticulously folded handkerchief in her lap and stares at it lost in thought.
Mrs. Robinson is the first to speak, "Thank God we've got Glenn Beck! No one else could have ever figured that out."
(Sorry, I forgot to tell you: Tommy Jo's roommate, Ray, is actually a twenty something; and, well, Mrs. Robinson, it's just what everybody calls her behind her back. It's not that Ray isn't a good kid, he is, but naturally there's some resentment among the lady folk in Montague.)
So, Mrs. Robinson wait, we better start calling her Tommy Jo looks around a little embarrassed; she's wondering if she spoke out of turn. But the feedback is all good; even Molly gives her a high five. It's all, you know, like right after you've been baptized.
The commercial for Magic Jacks is over and Bill O'Reilly is interviewing Sharron Angle.
"Senator Angle (he laughs), excuse me, Ms. Angle, how do you think your chances are tonight?"
"First Bill, I want to thank you and Fox for having me on the show so many times. I mean the money I raised was absolutely essential for my campaign to stop all the tax increases and shut down Obama's give aways to Wall Street."
"It's our pleasure Sharron. That's what fair and balanced is all about."
Molly's husband can't help himself and blurts out, "She's gonna whip Harry Reid's ass sure as god made little green apples. All this cockamamie spending on everything under the sun is gonna stop and those Mexicans will get what's coming to them."
"She'll get that damn Obamacare repealed so poor folks can afford doctors and the rest of us don't have to go broke."
Even Bob puts in his two cents. "Just listen to her, she's a real American. You can bet she'll get rid of that damn Department of Education so kids can start learning again."
There's a hush after the outburst and the ladies all turn around and whisper, "Sorry Ms T, he doesn't mean any harm."
Ray's the only one there who's had a different take on the Angle interview, "I heard she said that people out of work are just lazy and giving them any more money is just throwing good after bad."
They all looked at Ray. Nobody made a sound. It wasn't like they were mad or anything, just kind of puzzled. Ray had said something that didn't fit; and, well, what to do? It was an embarrassing situation but they all solved it by taking another sip of Shiner Bock.
