Did You Notice?

There's a lot of big names going down.  And a whole lot of guys whose names I don't know.  I cut the cable years ago.  I recognize Lauer and a couple others, but the rest are strangers.

But I can't help but notice.  We basically volunteer to pay the salaries of Hollywood/media folks when we buy their "products" - watch the shows, go to the movies.  If we don't want them to have our money we simply don't play.  And It's a bloodbath right now as Hollywood/the media tries to protect their bottom line and celebrity after celebrity loses their jobs due to accusations of sexual impropriety.

At the same time, it has come out that various members of Congress have used our tax dollars to pay off women who have made the same sorts of accusations that have cost the  Hollywood and media elite their jobs.  And those members of Congress who have been accused and paid out that money - OUR money - are just toddling on, "unfired" so to speak. We aren't even allowed to know who used our money to cover their tracks.

We didn't agree to our money being used for this.  They just stole it. Odd, isn't it, that right now Hollywood is showing more integrity than Congress is?
