This really happened.

One thing we always used to do when we went to Myrtle Beach was get up early and go out and watch the sun rise over the ocean. It’s beautiful!

A bunch of my crowd went out to California. During their time there they spent some days at the beach. So as part of their beach ritual they got up early and sat on the beach waiting for the sunrise over the ocean.

On the WEST coast!

The finally realized that the sun was coming up behind them and had a good laugh at themselves.

No harm done.

Now let me tell you about a similar incident. Nobody else who watches the news has a memory, and this happened a couple of years ago as a lead story in international news, so I am the only person who remembers it.

When the latest Iraq War was about to start, networks spent huge amounts of money stationing reporters on the borders of Iraq to interview all the refugees who would be pouring out of Iraq. After all, there are always huge streams of refugees in war, right? That is as routine and predictable as the sun rising over the ocean, right?

So the invasion began and a large part of the reporters sat there on the borders away from the invasion forces and waited for refugees, exactly the same way my crowd waited for the sun to rise over the ocean in California.

Just like my crowd waiting for the sun to rise over the West Coast beach, those reporters waited and waited and waited.

No refugees.

My crowd in California had the same problem, but there is one gigantic difference between them and those dumbass reporters. My crowd figured out what they were doing wrong and laughed at themselves. The reporters never figured it out.

So let me explain the situation here:

The sun comes up over the ocean on the Atlantic side, but it never rises over the ocean on Pacific side.

There are refugees in every war those reporters have covered, but they NEVER run away from Americans.

During the Vietnam War, the press was on the side of the Communists. So they always talked about the poor Vietnamese who were forced to become refugees. But they never even noticed that none of those refugees ever ran away from Americans to find nice, safe Communist territory. It was all America’s fault there were refugees, so nobody mentioned which way those refugees were going.

The media never even NOTICED which way the refugees were going.

So there they sat on the Iraqi border for weeks waiting for the flood of refugees running away from the American invaders.

And those idiots STILL haven’t figured out what happened.
