Wherrre’s Johnny?

1/23/05

I was greatly saddened to hear about the death of a man I never personally knew. But he was my late night baby sitter, and my late night friend who made me laugh right before I went to sleep, saying everything is crazy but we can still laugh about it. Here is a silly joke or here is a pretty actress or a great singer or dancer or comedian. Here is optimism, humor, hope.

Perhaps it is still to soon to determine the effect that his death will have on the mood of this country. I was just getting over the loss of Rodney Dangerfield of a few months ago. The loss of these comic geniuses seems almost an omen of doom. The death of Johnny Carson three days after the inauguration of this country’s worst president, who won a fraudulent election, brought this country into an insane war in Iraq, and completely bankrupted our treasury. A president who has divided the people of this nation with his hatred and stupidity and allowed his crooked friends and corporate cronies to rape the environment, loot pension plans and to plunder the aging, destroy the planet by ignoring national pollution and global warming, sponsoring regime changes that kill millions of helpless victims around the world. Is it any wonder the world is losing its great comedians, there is so little to laugh about anymore and America really needs to laugh again. Where is Johnny?
