I chuckled at your humorous rendition several times but was pressed into your more serious intellectual revelation.

After the Election I felt exactly like you: "I turned back on the news today. I just watched a few selected bits and pieces that I could stomach. You know how after you have been sick, vomiting or the other end or both, they used to put you on the BRAT diet —bananas, rice, apple sauce, and toast — to slowly get your digestive system back on track?"

I still cannot watch the TV News. (although I do get a little comfort with MSNBC Anchors like Joy Reid and Nicole Wallace and I try to find humor in it all with Stephen Colbert... this latter not working all that much...
