Tired

 I don’t know about you, but I’m tired…

Tired of interviews with celebrity pretty faces, their life dramas, their endless awards, gushing over their philanthropy and their fashion statements. Give me Michael Fanone, Theaster Gates, Kara Walker and Adam Kinzinger.

Tired of political campaigns that are full of mudslinging and cheap marketing tricks and never get around to competence, character and problem solving.

Tired of news reports that go right to race and ethnicity and rarely see past that to character and context.

Tired of popularity, and its revenue generation, pretending to be excellence.

Tired of dancing football players who get more attention for one touchdown than dedicated public servants get for a lifetime of work.
