1. I feel less that way toward the musicians/celebrities than I do toward

commercials on TV and ads online from corporations telling us how we are all in this together and telling us all how much they are doing to protect us and help us.

Meanwhile, you cannot buy toilet paper from Walmart online any more, even though for over a decade now, you could before. You MUST go to the store to pick it up. Way to spread this shit and make things worse, Walmart. Fucking ship the damn TP like you used to. That was how I always got mine at the cheapest price before. Now you have to go through the grocery section to get it on their web site and then go pick it up. Forget delivery where I live.

And while I know Walmart is the great Satan, when they built their superstore in my hometown, Winn Dixie, Bilo, one of the Food Lion stores, and several other grocery stores had to go, as per their contract with the city. What few "local grocers" they left folded really quick.

Now, we have the two Food Lions that have hardly any stock, half the produce is rotten on any given day, and most of the canned goods and stuff in the frozen sections are out of date or so close to it you had better eat it THAT day or else. Canned goods are the worst. You have to search each can or come home to find out something you just bought there has been out of date for a while before you bought it. To avoid that all the time, that leaves Walmart or driving 75 miles to find these other stores people talk about but my town never had and never will have. We don't even have Harris Teeter any more. At least, at one time, we had that. Not any more. No Kroger. No nothing. It's Walmart or those Food Lions or a long drive my car would not make.

And I still say the TP companies are refusing to manufacture enough to meet demand so they can get a bailout. But, the thing is, once they do get a bailout, they will jack up their prices and barely make enough so that a lucky few will be able to get it. I will remember how they crapped out on us through this later. First one to offer TP online at a reasonable price "wins" my business from now on. And I would say that includes Scott, as much as I hate that sandpaper, but they are made by the same exact company that makes some of the other brand names I alternated between before. They can kiss my ass. I hope some upstart comes along and wipes them all out for this. You really cannot talk about TP without unintentional double entendres, can you?

Either way, hilarious video, except my favorite musician. She can put out a fuckton more videos and I'll be happy, but I still say we should ship Donny Osmond to Putin with a damn bow on top. If we can manage to Go Fund Me the massive shipping price it would cost, add Trump too. Putin deserves it, the fucker, for inflicting us with Trump.

I was thinking the shelves were going to be bare. Nope. Just won't send it to you.

"This is like being in jail, is what it is." Poor Ellen.

And here I'm stuck in my four room cabin, thinking I have it made, because at least I'm not homeless and in the street. But Ellen has it so much tougher!

6. Celebrities are doing what they can

which is to (attempt to) entertain.

If it doesn't entertain you, don't watch. Or find something that does entertain.
