A bemused look at the news

Oh My Good Golly Aunt Maddy! This is Season 3 of Breaking Mad and I am ashamed to confess, by far makes for the most compulsive viewing.

Whereas in Seasons 1 and 2, I'd dip in and out of episodes, this season, I am transfixed by the bizarre 'plots' that unfold in real time. 

Every evening it ends on a cliffhanger; surely he can't outdo what he just said, you say to yourself (yes, you have started talking to yourself because this madness is catching) but then he goes and proves you wrong in the next episode, otherwise known as a press conference.

It appears that Mr Muscle and Cillit Bang-and-the-germ-is-gone have pushed Hydroxychloroquine to the back shelf of the medicine cabinet. (Other disinfectants are available).

Light, heat and disinfectant is his new chant. And no, he is not referring to his three wives. He is, unbelievably, talking about a potential cure for Coronavirus.

According to Dr Donald, if you inject disinfectant, it will get in your lungs and do a tremendous number on your lungs. I agree, it will indeed... the two (lungs) will come close to zero.

To be fair, he does assure everyone that he is not a doctor (as if there was any doubt). However, I hesitate to call him a quack, lest it leads to an uprising among ducks (starting with the one who shares his name).

                           

In reference to the above clip, we actually don't know 'what'. Do enlighten us. One suspects he doesn't know 'what' either.

I could almost feel Dr Birx's pain and discomfort, as he looked at her for validation. For once, I wasn't distracted by her scarf and watched as she visibly gulped, as if she was swallowing one of his golf balls - I apologise, that sounds unintentionally rude.

Just like Breaking Bad has its spin off with Saul Goodman, 'Breaking Mad' appears to have its own spin off with Carolyn Goodman, the Mayor of Las Vegas.

Her interview with CNN started off with what appeared to be a party trick - her ability to move her lower lip up and down without actually opening her mouth.

Alas, when she did open her mouth, it soon became clear, that the lights were on but there was no one home. Which, to be fair, is what she wants for Las Vegas.

Until next time, stay safe and stay home....with your lights on!
